Broad area of time
What sort of hat are you looking for.
Fine beaver, cheap wool felt, wool caps of all sorts from Scot bonnet type and wheel hats
Parsons wore their own style. And hats looking almost like a derby.

I got my cocked hat from Townsends and Sons. Great hat and wonderful service.

Stitcher's Cabin has a variety of Colonial and longhunter style hats.

You can try to make one. I bought a felt blank/cone off of Amazon, shaped it by steam from a tea kettle and an iron and a large inverted bowl. Stiffened with a spray stiffener from JoAnn's. I now have a custom fit round blocked Colonial hat for about $25. YouTube has lots of videos.

I have a lined blank from Jas. Townsend that I finished, I'm fairly happy with it.
