Outside of ebay, could anyone tell me where I could hats just like these? Short (2'') brim preferred. With the fedora, same bash as Truman and JFK's--deep.

Also am in the market for cotton fedoras (for the summer). I want to get a few hats; a couple of fedoras for casual occaisons, two for dress occasions (I'm going to a wedding this summer), and a hat like Damon's for casual occasions.

Matt Damon is wearing a hat called a Milian there are many colors of summer Milan's.
Here is a page of Stetson Milian's:

The other hat will take some looking to find a modern day version as it has a High crown and is not tapered.
Vintage hats can be found of this type on Ebay or Esty. Depends on your hat size how hard it will be to get and how expensive it will be.

Modern hat sellers wouldn't sell a hat with a high crown?
And what do you mean it's ''not tapered''?
I'm either a 6 7/8 or 7.

Well if you look at the base of the hat and the top of the hat the crown is the same dimension. So it is a straight line fron the top to the bottom of the crown. This is an older style of hat crown most modern hats have a taper of a certain amount in the line form the bottom to the top of the crown.

Here is a thread with a disscussion about untapered crowns.

Now in this thread the mention the Campdraft but it has a larger brim than the hats in your pictures.
Now you can have the brim cut down but this would be an extra cost for you.
With your hat size being small you can find a vintage hat easy that will match the above pictures.
I wish I was a 7 or 6 7/8 instead of a 7 3/8 sometimes allow I would be alot poorer as there are tons of vintage hats in that size online.
There is way more people out there today looking for the larger size Fedoras and they get snapped up fast.

That Daemon Milan hat looks like a Stetson in my size that was just sold on E bay:

Those are as common as dandelions. Especially in such a small size. Start looking in every hat box you see at antique places, thrift stores, goodwill, etc.
