I wondered the very same.
Yet, I was afraid it might get lost in the shuffle otherwise.
I did not mean to breach some hitherto unknown proprietary territory nor violate an unwritten "suitability" standard for thread worthiness.
Please forgive me.
I believed gaining insight on collecting was TFL's reason for being. [huh]
Perhaps you might be so very good as to suggest a more appropriate venue for my interrogatory, knowing that I'd be grateful.
Elsewise, I may just fall back to a Tilley heathered mix wool winter number ( 2 3/4" back, 2 5/8" front & 2 1/8" sides, it be swoopin' nice!, though kinda L.A.C. [low-arsed crown]).
I was simply hoping someone out there in TV-land might have an insight or lead on such a hat, is all.

Wow, who knows WHAT that material is! Maybe 1/8-inch thick cotton duck? Doesn't look very easy to shape, that's for sure. Twilley to the rescue!

No, not tweed, twill. But as to who makes twill hats other than Tilley, yer got me, mate.

I too am looking for wide-brimmed tweed hats. Fedoras or homburgs to be precise, tweed and with a non-dimensional brim of at least 2.5". Tilly makes a dimensional brim tweed fedora. In addition to the dimensional brim, they've also treated the hat with a rain-repeller - another aspect that I don't think I want. All other tweed fedoras/homburgs I can find have a stingy brim. So anyone know of any source for what I'm looking for?
