Sadly, Tom Palmer passed away suddenly a few weeks ago.
If not out of business, the company is certainly in limbo for the time being.

That's good news! Tom might have had a line of succession in place.

From what I gathered I don't think Tom actually did the making of the covers. He had another person (partner?) that did that. Maybe he will continue with the company?
I have several D2F covers including a couple of custom fit covers. |

Sad to hear of his passing. The covers have had good reviews on here.
Kevin, another option for you might be Sharp Covers Nashville. I have no connection except as a customer, but since your first choice sadly is not presently available you might give them a look. I have bought 3 from her and am very satisfied. Leann is helpful, and the price, service and finished product were fine. |

| The business is still making covers however they have placed some things on hold for now while they catch up and get themselves together. So, sit tight! |

I just ordered a cover for a Marshall yesterday off their website.
I assumed that they'd keep on truckin' after Tom passed.
Sad about Tom, I dealt with him recently on a cover, nicest guy and a great business to work with. I wish them the best. |

| They are in business. I just received an email from them in reference to an order that I placed. They are just running a little behind. Understandably. |

| I just received my cover today. Awesome fit. Also, received a nice note thanking me for my business and saying sorry for the delay. No problem as we all understand and are saddened by Tom's passing. |

| Received my cover that I ordered for the Emmons Grand--just prior Tom leaving us. As always, a perfect fit. I recently ordered another cover for my BMI. I called to check status. They informed me that Tom had passed. Immediately, they asked if I wanted a refund since they knew they would be running behind on orders. I thought was pretty generous of them. I told them to build and ship when they could. I received it shortly thereafter. PERFECT! Tom left the business in good hands. These folks are going to be fine to work with. A patience goes a long way. |

I'm sorry to report D2F covers has closed, as of yesterday.
This is direct from Franklin Palmer.
I have several of their covers and always appreciated the high quality of both products and service.
They will be missed. I wish them all the best. |

| I might get their last cover the way it sounds. A week ago I ordered a cover for my Super Pro. They sent me a tracking number yesterday. I hope it shows up. Could be sending my money back also. Hope to see the cover. They made some great covers. |

| I did get a email from LeAnn Sharp in regards to my dimensions of my Super Pro. Was over a week ago. I sent her a couple different emails with the size. Never heard back from her. Maybe vacation? Went with D2F. |

| Cover and Leg Bag arrived today. Beautiful job! I hate to see D2F vanish. Did a great job. I totally understand their loss. No way to fill the void in their lives. God Bless to them R.I.P. |

I'm so sad to hear that. I've done a good bit of business with Tom - I think I've bought 8 covers from him over the past 10 years and was planning on getting a couple more.
Bummer. He was such a pleasant fellow to do business with.

Looks like you got the last one, Kevin.
Kudos to D2F for doing the right thing.
I tried to place a custom order and was ready to pay when they informed me that the business was closing and they would not accept my order.
Tom's integrity lives on. |

Got my D10 PP cover today in the mail from D2F. Took a few weeks. Glad I ordered it when I did. Maybe a steel manufacturer like MSA will take over the company?
