I haven't purchased from them yet; but I plan to.  I've exchanged e-mails, they've even sent me samples of the material they used.  I look forward to dealing with them.

I have looked at those tops and they are very nice, plus they are from Minnesota! (Yay MN) I think they have things on sale every once in a while that don't pass as perfect quality, but maybe I only heard that from someone else.

Hey BradleyDP

I dont want to highjack this post but, In that avatar photo of yours, is that your Jeep?? I think I saw this on the front page of the 2011 Kaiser Willys catalog. Do you have any information on the build/rebuild?

Not to get all high and mighty on Minnesota again, but I have seriously thought about asking Duluth Pack if they could make a top for my jeep. The company has been making canvas stuff in house for over 120 years, so I think they could handle a canvas jeep top. Could be interesting to at least ask if they made them in the past.

If you aren't sure what I am talking about, they make those gigantic backpacks that people put into canoes. �

-----To everyone interested in New Life canvas, they do have factory 2nds from time to time at a lower price. You might have to call them directly to find out more. -----



Oh, and 3M stands for Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing. Boom, take that � ;D

I thought one of the "M's" in 3M stood for mosquitoes?  LOL. Jim
