Does anyone manufacture clothe tops for Model T's?
When you say cloth tops, do you mean rubberized canvas where the fabric is visible on both the inside or the outside or do you mean an original replacement top which is vinyl over canvas?
If it is the first case, then you need to contact someone who does custom work such as Elizabeth at Classtique. If it's the second case, Classtique has the original top fabric as do many other suppliers who advertise tops in their catalogs.
I guess I don't know how to explain it. It would be a top made out of clothe like fabric similar to what they use on a modern convertible. Not a vinyl top. I know they are not original but look great when used. Thanks, Don

I'm guessing you mean similar to a 1930 Model A Delux Roadster. If you google image for that, you will find many examples of rubberized canvas tops where the fabric is visible on the outside.
Auto upholstery, auto top and boat shops should have it if you want to make it yourself. Don't know your area but look for convertible top shops. That's all they do is make and mount rag tops.
I like the matte look better than the plastic look too.
I've heard them called La'baron Bonny tops on some Model A's as well as other cars. Usually see them in brown, gray, tan and black colors. the material looks like a modern top on a late model car such as a BMW Z3 roadster, or mustang ect....
