Re: M37 Bikini top

Well guys, I own a leather shop and I have made my own cargo cover as well as seat covers and top for my M37. Tim and I are working on a cockpit cover idea so I am sure I can make up a bikini top. Manufacturing leather items keeps me pretty busy but If none of the big names in canvas seem interested, I will get a design made up and work up a price ( it will be way less than $300 ) and see if anyone is interested.

Funny I own a leather shop too and have a heavy sewing machine. If WVCharlie can't get it done I'm sure I could. And yes the price would be way less than Beechwood. Off the top of my head to do it in canvas would be $75-100, but that's a ballpark figure. Out of leather then you're talking closer to the Beechwood price... :)

One could offer canvas and the other could offer vinyl.

Joe,
It looks like they have already set us up in the bikini top business. I will definitely get a prototype made up as soon as possible. We will have to talk shop sometime. My website is http://tannersalleyleather.com

Well I have many irons in the fire and the majority of my business is repair and restoration though we do do some custom work. You can take the lead on this. Oh and here is my website http://www.leathernaturally.com

Thread is a few years old. Did anyone end up producing a top?
