I know this is incredibly easy to say and extremely difficult to do, but some of these small builders might get together and order/buy as a block to gain some leverage. That does not solve the labor situation but it might get them in the queue.
Lots of hatters are having a hard time getting felt from Winchester. Robert @belfastboy was told that Winchester can’t get people to work at their felt plant so they are running way below pre-Covid capacity. Winchester hasn’t accepted new customers for years and in the last couple of years they have dropped some of their smaller volume customers.
