Is it possible that hats (and historic clothing in general) have enjoyed a slight revival thanks to online communities like this one, but ribbon suppliers have not met the need, so the vintage ribbon folk put a bone-crushing grip on the market?
With a tip of the hat to Major Moore above, he is looking to source new ribbon and Spatterdash, you are talking about vintage ribbon.
The demand cannot be attributed to hatters alone. I think it's the whole altered art craft movement = take something old and re-create it into something new.
Edit: I sent a modern manufacturing resource to Major Moore (privately) that only requires 5000 yard minimum purchase. Not sure if it's what's he's looking for, but perhaps he can gather other orders if he is interested in trying out the manufacturing plant.
