27x1-3/8 tires still available?

[Saku_39]

I recently bought a vintage touring bike with 27" wheels and I want to get my hands on a wider set
of tires. It seems like most 27" tires nowadays stop at 1-1/4 inch, but I know there used to be
1-3/8 tires on the market.

Does anybody know any companies or stores that still sell this size?

A cyclocross tread is all I have seen in 27" x 1 3/8"

Tioga Bloodhound is commonly available at Mountain Equipment Coop and a quick search showed
lots of hits.

I'd not want them for touring paved roads.
