One of the item descriptions in the search results will list 24" and 26" versions of visually the same tire, but clicking on that listing shows seven different versions, including 27x1-3/8"
There is no hard link to the particular item selection, you have to go through the search box to get to it.

Again, the store link, below:

Phoeny bike shop Store

And no, it's not Phony

I found this at Phoeny for $14.81 and gave them a try. I mounted one today to see if it would fit in my "70's Peugeot U-08 frame and it did. Big honking tires, but one day I realized it's why the Royal Scot feels so good to putt around on. Today these Kenda tires, 27x1 3/8, are $12.68! I may order a second set, although I keep saying every build and/or flip is going to be my last. Wish they came in 26x1 3/8. I need two sets in that size.

Kenda 27x1 3/8

Thanks for the pointer to this source.

edit: 06/10/24 - that great price, $12.68, now includes shipping, whereas my shipping was free, so they have actually gone up in price.
