 I'm a big fan of Tim Bender and his hats. You get top quality and the product arrives when he says it will. I own one of his Hardee hats and in the past have owned (second hand) an officers Hardee. Paid $45 for the first and $100 for the second. Money very well spent.

Another source is Clearwater Hats. Outstanding product but I don't know what kind of service they have. Expect to pay in the $100 range.

You'll pay about the same for either and their quality is comparable. Frankly their product is far superior to what you'll find at Sutler Row. Dirty Billy also offers an excellent product; though his quality Control can be kind of spotty from what I've heard and he is not an easy fella to deal w/. That said I've owned two of his hats, apparently factory seconds as I got them new for a third of the price listed on his website... but he doesn't make factory seconds. Regardless both hats were superb... both were stolen at different times.

Good luck
