WC63 canvas

What would be a good company to purchase the canvas for a WC63 from? I do have a gun mount for it since that makes a difference. I have been waiting for almost 6 months for a company from England to produce mine. Still waiting. I am located on the West Coast of the USA.

I purchased mine from Beechwood Canvas in the USA some years ago and am quite happy with it. I don't know if they can supply a canvas with the opening for the gun mounting. You may have to get their top modified by somebody else.

Would that be John and Mary at CanvasCo? They did the top for my WC-51, and I finally got it in early July after ordering in January... Good quality on the work, but not real wild about the chromed leather pieces... I would far rather have preferred brown tanned leather, as the big silvery white patches just do not look right to me. Also would have preferred a darker and more olive shade... But it is what it is, and not bad.
The wait was rather long, however... But they will get finished eventually.

A friend just purchased a set of WC52 canvas from Canvasco. I am absolutely impressed. Scott, the raw leather is correct, and I can't find anything else on the job that I am not happy with. The died leather on other makes will bleed out and stain the canvas; that's why it was made raw originally. It was worth the wait, and I will use them when I need my next canvas.
