Check here. There may be other sources in the US, you may want to check military/law enforcement sites also.

Thank you.

I found a site, but I would have to order a minimum of 12. http://www.paradestore.com/detail.aspx?ID=889

Maybe one of the hatters will place an order. I'd take one if that happens....

That would be a good idea. I could always take one or two extra to have spare for my campaign hats.

I might just go ahead an order the 12 min. myself.

Thank you for the help.

Don't know about green specifically, but you may want to check with Knudsen hats:

Stetson, Dobbs and Mallory just off the top of my head.

Thanks to all who replied. The Tilley hats look like what I had in mind.

is the Stetson Royal Quality Downs Teardrop a 40s style http://www.thefedorastore.com/Stetson-Downs-Teardrop-D-p/2210-downs.htm

It evokes that era somewhat, but the crown isn't tall enough in my opinion. If you want to go with a new hat rather than finding a vintage one, check out Akubra and Christys as well as Stetson's Vintage collection. Beaver Brand is always an option but they are getting pricey to the point that a custom hat isn't much more of an investment.

The discontinued Nostalgia is the only modern Stetson you are going to find with the crown style of the era you are seeking, hence the name.

If you want a hat like that, you're either gonna have to find a vintage hat, or go custom.

The Akubra Federation 4 from www.hatsdirect.com is an open crown 30's styled hat and comes close.

www.penmanhats.com <-- John has been working on a really great looking Bogart hat:

Could somebody tell me, if talking in the shape names used by Panama Bob on his website (http://panamas.biz/cuenca.html) which shape resembles with the shape of the panama hat sean connery wears in the Louis Vuitton commercial on the back of every Time Magazine and such? (http://www.thebaglady.tv/seanconnery_louisvuitton-thumb-430x274.jpg)

Also, while the above one is a little low for my taste, I noticed this one on a panama hat website: http://www.startrip.tv/images/2007/05/23/johnny_depp.jpg

As you see that one appears much higher (kinda like a fedora, no?), which shape would that be on the panama bob website which I link to above?

Thank you very much!!!

Is there a name for this type of hat?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Antique-Vintage...0?pt=US_Hats&hash=item3cb6e4cdf0#ht_500wt_922

I've seen this type of hat in a lot of photos from the early 1900s, specifically the Edwardian period. Now I would say it's a homburg, but the crown is usually pretty low, and the brim is rolled up on the sides. Is it just an old type of homburg? I've taken to calling it a "gentleman's cowboy hat", although I'm sure that's not the proper term.

 

[monbla256]

I would say that bothe hats have similar if not the same crown heights it's merely a matter of camera angle that gives the impression of different heights. As for a PB model, any of his in the Cabellero style would be what you would want. He has this shape in both the Cuenca Panama's and Montecristi's. I have 5 in that style out of my 7 Panama's and like it alot.

 

[Orgetorix]

It's just a homburg. The side curvature on homburgs has varied over time, just like it did with bowler hats over the decades.
