I am originally from Kentucky, so I am familiar with Appalachian hats.
Here are a couple of nice premium rabbit felt fedora hats (I called them Campaign hats in the listing because they resemble the ones issued to the US Army around 1900.) The Hat With The Star is probably the one I recommend as the better of the two.
Two Reproduction Campaign Hats, fur felt, size 7½
Here are a pair of wool felt ones. The black one is particularly appropriate for a musician to wear on stage. The Aussie is just sort of a wild card.
Black Fedora & Aussie Military wool felt hats, both size 7½
How about fifteen bucks per hat (and you pay postage)?
