Alamo Plantation Hat

[cougar]

Here's a question that will be a interesting change of pace for everyone. My uncle wanted to know if there is any place that sells the plantation hat like the one worn by Lawrence Harvey in the Wayne edition of "The Alamo". I looked online, however I couldn't find anything that even looked close to it. Does anyone have any information?

I bought mine in San Antonio, but I don't remember the store. It was a rough straw hat that had to be formed while I waited.
I found this site online this week (scroll down to the straw plantation hat):

Since they were right here in Orlando, I stopped by and looked at them a few days ago. These are pre-formed in the style, and I thought they looked really good. The shop seemed to have limited sizes available (at least on the sales floor), but it might be worth a call or an email.
This looks like the same hat here, but you get a better look at the roll of the brim:
