Type 1a tape source?

[Quagmirian 40]

Mil-W-4088 Type 1a, Class 1. 3/4" wide, 600lb tensile strength

Does anybody know where I can find a few yards? BRM sells it but only by the roll.

ParaGear, DJ and my local rigging lofts draw a blank.

Type-1 webbing (PIA-W-4088), or tape (PIA-T-5038)? If 4088, then 9/16" 500# is much more common. Is there a reason why you need the extra width and strength? If 4088 9/16" is ok, let me know what color, how many yards/meters, and where to send it.

Type 1a webbing (falls under w-4088 or w-27265 when treated) but is more likely to be called a tape. It is like a wide type 1 tape.

I don't see a source for less than full rolls either. But for those wondering just what it is, here is a great reference page for w-4088 spec webbing.

Let's be really clear on terminology.
Normally the dividing line between tapes and webbing is 1 inch wide and 1,000 pound tensile strength.

The only MIL SPEC/PIA SPEC webbing less than 1 inch wide is Type 1 webbing, most commonly used for reserve line attachments.

Type 3 tape is the most popular for main line attachment tapes. Type 3 tape is available in variety of widths and 3/4 inch wide Type 3 tape is the most popular size for binding containers.
