Quality headliner needed

Today I noticed my cardboard headliner was sagging and lying on the role bar. Recent monsoon rains bringing high humidity that made the cardboard soft. The headliner is about 1/3 the thickness of a Ford headliner I bought at the dealership in 1974. It came in a flat box, not rolled up like the thin but new version. Who has a quality version now?

Thanks! I tried to keep the stock appearance, but to the best I can tell no one could simply use thicker paper/cardboard to replicate the original material. I doubt Ford used some highly exotic cardboard nor do I think the cost would be prohibitive. How close is the fiberglass in terms of color and thickness?

My searches for Jason Gamroth came up empty. I'll just go down the list of EB parts suppliers I've been using for the last 40 yrs. Their catalogs don't describe an original type headliner. ABS looks like the best I can find. So I'll call them all and see what they say. If anyone has the ABS types, how do they look? This reminds me of the adventures I've had/am having with door weather stripping.
