Something like this?

Well, yeah...

... my wallet and I are well aware of the Art option!

Manhattan

Anj I assume when you say Manhattan that you mean the Big Apple!!! When I was but a wee tike I remember going the haberdasher here in the little apple. My dad was always a hat wearer and when you entered the store a salesman always came out to greet him. They would always offer to take his hat for a complimentary cleaning. This entailed just a once over lightly with a whisk broom. While they had the hat they would look to see where it was purchased. If they had sold the hat then they would offer to take it to the steamer and make small changes. This kind of service is gone forever I fear.

Couldn't one of the open crown Akubras simply be creased as a porkpie (eg, CEO, Fedora, Stylemaster)? Seems like I've seen one of them styled that way on an Akubra retailers site.

Wrong Size

Bummer dude! I have a 7 3/8 LO Pork Pie in brown, but I don't think it would stretch out to 7 5/8. It's an older one (50's I think) with the ribbon in the back. I don't think this hat is my type.

Miller Hats

Miller hats has had this one for a number of years.

I have always been attracted by the unusually wide (for a pp) brim. They are quite nice & the color may meet your specs. I saw a fella here in the grocery wearing one, complemented him & directed him here.

Miller!

Why didn't I think of Miller?! Great tip, Rick... thanks! I like this one a little better, with the stingier brim. I'm gonna give them a call Monday.

Good tip on the Akubra, too, Alan. That's something to keep in mind.

Yeah... I have made my share of trips to the Little Apple, but it's the bigtime on this trip!

Thanks all!
