I have a DM Adventurer and the crown is only 4-3/8" tall to the top of the front crease (teardrop), which is all the height I could wring out of this particular hat without a lot of taper at the top. The felt is mid-weight, I would call it, and fairly stiff, but I actually prefer stiffer felt with a broad brim so it will hold its shape.
My opinion is that the DM Adventurer does not have the proportions to look close to the Raiders hat, at least in my hat size (7-3/4 or 62cm).
For what it's worth, I have a RM Williams model Akubra (from "Hats by the Hundred",

that has a 4-3/4" height to the tip of the teardrop crease. The website says this one has a 11cm (2.33") crown height, but mine is taller in the teardrop crease. About a 2-7/8" brim on this one, if I remember correctly.
Good luck!
