Anyone know where to get classic felt hats like those in the movie "Lincoln" (NOT top hats)?

I would strongly counsel against doing business with the Village Hat Shop. I had a most unpleasant experience with them some years back.

Finally, I agreed to exchange for a felt hat of equivalent value, whereupon I was told they would only give me $20 credit for the defective hat (for which I had paid about $80). I just took the defective Panama hat home and mailed it back to them with a lengthy letter detailing my dissatisfaction with the whole business. I never heard a damn thing from them. Without question, they were the worst retail operation I have ever had dealings with in all my fairly long life.
