Thanks
I'd note that in the ad, the eBay hat isn't even the color shown, it's much darker charcoal. And though it looks similar, seems like a lot of money for wool felt. And the ad even says "(If you want johnny's color then you don't want charcoal grey, you want Czech Caribou Fur Felt)". So it looks like you'd need this one then.
Some very basic features of the hat Johnny is wearing are missing in the others you show. If you really want to duplicate the look of that hat, you need a bound brim and a ribbon that is very close to the same color of the hat (and about the same width pictured).
The thing I dont get is, why does this SILVERBELLY look white? Do you think this is what it would look like in person or is it just the picture/ my screen??

First the picture then your screen. Silverbelly is not white. This topic got a lot of coverage around the hat that Jeff Bridges wore in Seabiscuit. The hat on screen looked gray-silver but the actual hat owned by Art Fawcett is Silverbelly & in person has a tannish look to it. It is all about lighting source IMHO. The photos used for catalogs use lighting & flashes that bounce a bluer light off the hat that comes to us via the web as whiter than real life. JMHO...
That's a good point, Stylemaster or Bogart might be close enough. Check http://www.everythingaustralian.com.au/
It would be great if we could nail down what hat Johnny wears an make it a sticky thread so that those wishing to know the answer will know. He needs to get a contract with one of the big hat company's to make signature hat. His hat is as popular as Indy's.
