I just made an appointment to have a new top put on in early May. I asked for a good top. There was no mention of a back order. I don't know where the top shop was getting there tops from. I've seen there tops installed, there pretty nice.

Default May want to look at Canvas

I ordered a Robbins canvas top and really like the look when it is up. Black looks very good. White no such option...

I ordered online from one of the distributors they had.

I got my 72 top from the Convertible Top Guys. It lists as M&T Manufacturing out of R.I. , but the boxes are labeled Key Auto Tops from N.C. I haven't installed it yet, but it looks very nice. Most reasonable price also. Mine is same as stock type, vinyl pinpoint in white.

The owner of the interior shop I use is as experienced as they come and prefers Robbins for his installations. He's installing one on my '69 right now.
