Bias reed tape for making sweatbands

Does anyone know a supplier that sells black and brown Bias Reed Tape for making sweatbands? I have searched and searched and can not find it anywhere. It usually comes on a roll.

What I am looking for is the roll of tape in this photo:

I'm afraid I have to disappoint. I buy mine reeded.

I'll be on the lookout though l.

Thats ok, thanks for the response. I guess I will just keep looking as well.

What does "reeded" mean, anyway? I could never figure that out.

Does this thread help? http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/reeded-vs-unreeded-sweatband.44588/

@Joshbru3 - apologies if this is a stupid question, but what material is the reeding tape made of? Is it imitation leather? I tried to check in some of my own hats, in older ones it seems to be a much softer material than in modern hats.

The picture in your post is my machine. I have rolls of the reeding tape I no longer use. Call Rocky Mountain Hat Company.

Aside from buying the excess stock from Rocky Mountain Hat Company where can we buy reeding tape?
