So I'm in the market for an MB canvas top, and I did initially go to OD cloth for the order, but he got back to me explaining his backlog and temporary halt on orders with no real reinstatement date.
Beachwood canvas' site is down I dont trust Kaiser willys even though its US made, unless someone says otherwise Any ideas of where else I could order the standard MB top from? I'm looking for reviews from people that have actually bought them or a similar top from their seller.

My first thought was - > http://www.classicjeeptops.com but he does not have MB's listed. I am sure you are familiar with JPet on this forum.
I am hoping to make some progress on my '3A this year, and if I get to the point of adding a top, this is where I am going. :- ) |

No idea if you want a summer or winter top but there is Canvasco out of the UK has MB tops.

I have a wee bee webbing top on my 1944 MB. They are in eastern Ohio. I don’t have a link, but they should come up on a google search

They actually look good and a decent price point at that, do you have experience with them?

I do not as I just pulled my hardtop off and am not sure I want a soft top.

I purchased upholstery from Beechwood for my restoration years ago. I was very satisfied. I can’t speak for their tops as I restored my 2A to be original ‘topless’ and I like her that way.
Beechwood site worked for me just now. https://www.beachwoodcanvas.com/

OD cloth / Wee Bee Webbing (same place) is worth waiting on if you can wait.
I bought a MB style top customized to fit a CJ2A windshield and use the twist style rather than capstan fasteners, and I bought two sets of seat covers from them. Prices were very reasonable and all of it is absolutely top notch military spec quality. |

I dont mind waiting, just didnt have a time frame for when he might even begin to accept orders again, that's why I am probing around
