Jessie The Jeep Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Have you thought of contacting one of the Jeep/Dodge canvas roof manufacturers and see if they will sell you X metres of raw material? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Last year I bought several NOS heavy duty 3m x 3m canvas tarpaulins from Jacksons. Properly made in 1953 to old fashion standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64EK26 Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hi Thanks for the responses, as I need quite a lot, I will see if one on the bespoke cover makers will sell me some canvas directly. Cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Richard I can't see a khaki on their website, but will give them a call, as you say 10mins drive away. Always good to buy local if you can.

I did have a look at the other canvas's they supply but none are suitable for WW2 vehicles. Cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Hi Richard, That is a bit of a blow, maybe there are other canvas suppliers in your area as it is a bit of a haven for boaters. regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john fox Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) I have bought a roll of 21oz from these guys in the past, although the colour is probably not acceptable to the purist. It is however only 6 foot wide so to make a tilt you need access to an "industrial" quality sewing machine (or be willing to ruin your domestic one) and become rather good at making sealed seams Canvas Tarpaulin Roll | Heavy Duty Cotton Canvas Tarp 6ft x 80ft | Water Resistant Canvas Covers (tarpaflex.co.uk) Heavyweight Canvas | Heavy Duty Canvas Tarp | Canvas Tarpaulins Green | Olive Canvas Tarpaulin (tarpaflex.co.uk) Edited December 20, 2021 by john fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64EK26 Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 Hi John Thanks for the suggestion, I will look into that Cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
