People of the hat - I need some advise.

I am not one of you, but I am thinking of doubling my hat/cap ownership up to the dizzying heights of two.

I currently use a 'Fidel Castro' cap to tame my gloriously flowing but occasionally unruly lockdown locks.
I'm thinking of a slight upgrade but staying within that style, just with a bit more heft.



Due to the current climate I would like to know who are the best online hat retailers, esp when it comes to dealing with returns?
I don't want any old shite from Amazon & no corduroy.

The De Gaulle kepi retains the style but gives you the extra heft you are looking for...



There are of course other cultural icons from whom you can derive inspiration...

It's nice, but possibly a bit too "Tom of Finland"
