I need to get some ribbon (probably fabric) which is black/yellow/red - the colours of the Belgian flag for a funeral tribute.

Anybody got any idea who might stock something like this??

I don't know how quickly you need it, but V V Rouleaux is where I get my ribbon. It's expensive, but sooo worth it. If they haven't got what you want, they can make it. Again that is even more expensive.

Have you considered layering polyribbon or similar. Maybe tearing to different widths so one goes over the other? Might be cheaper. Or plaiting ribbon?

If this is a funeral you've probably only got a couple of days..could be tight.
You may have to improvise. Are you going to pleat it?
Never had the need to try this but would it not be possible to run this up on a sewing machine using the 3 color ribbons

Thanks for your replies.

Excellent website Jake!! - I've emailed them to ask if they can help.

The ribbon is not for pleating, and I may well either layer polytear or run something up on the sewing machine as suggested.

UPDATE: vvrouleaux were able to supply the ribbon

It was a discontinued line, but they had enough in stock.

Thanks again Jake.
