Hi Guys, Check out this site for hats: http://www.nps.gov/beol/goods_1.htm It is Bent's Fort Store. I was there last summer and bought a "Bridger Hat"....beaver felt, low crown, light grey color, flat brim..... for under $100. The profits go to the Park System. If you ever get a chance to..check out Bent's Old Fort in Southern Colorado. Yfab, Randy
I was hoping to have a light colored hat for summer/fall.
Haven't given up on them yet and they may have been swamped this year for some reason but..................

To all who may be interested. I ordered a black (they come in gray and white) wool felt hat blank from Crazy Crow and it was a blank with scalloped edges. I just cut them off even for a plain edged brim hat. It is good and thick wool felt (better than what most sutlers offer at events) and cost me about $14.00 and shipping when I got it.
Looks good, works well, keeps my head warm.
