I have a set of 1 1/4 Cyclepro Discovery Kevlar belted, wire bead tires from the LBS. They have the skinwall look, but it's not really a skinwall, just tan colored rubber. It looks correct, anyway. I have unhooked rims, and put about 75 psi in them. They are fairly heavy, but sturdy. I run them over manhole covers and rough roads that I would avoid with my other road bike.

I didn't get 1 1/8 because it appears that they need too high pressure and may come off the rims.
