Most American hatters openly say they get their felt from a company in Winchester, TN.
However, I do not know the name of the company, nor the contact info at all. :/

Found this online, can't vouch for the accuracy.

Winchester Hat Corp
Address: 725 David Crockett Hwy
Winchester, TN,
37398-1679
Phone: 931-967-0686
Fax: 931-967-0687

There have been mixed messages about if individuals can buy felt bodies of if Winchester only deals in bulk orders.

If by "right band color" you mean the hat ribbon, that's a whole different animal. Adventurebilt and Penman Hats have the best out there, but it's not available for sale. David Garrison (local land surveyor here) has very good ribbon that's close. A while back he offered to sell the ribbon, but I don't know if he is still offering that option.

The other parts (sweatbands and liners) are available through a variety of vendors online.
