New Net for Old Orvis Frame

I have an old Orvis fly fishing net. I'm guessing it's about 50 years old. The frame dimensions are approx. 10" W and 16" L. The frame is in great shape. The problem is that the netting itself is very brittle to the touch and is unusable. I would like to replace the old net material and use the net. I've called Orvis and have not gotten a response as of yet.

Does anyone know if this can be done?
Who I can contact?
Any cost info?

Thanks,
Epic01
