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.
I'm not confident that any Kenda 27" tire measures wider than an actual 30mm, based on my measuring of previous Kenda 1-3/8" sized tires.

Even their knobby version 1-3/8" tire, while working well both on- and off-road, measured around 29mm on a wider Araya touring rim.
