non-fedora hat question

Hey all, Mods sorry if this should be elsewhere but this forum would be my best bet. I'm looking at adding some variety into my hat wardrobe. I'm interested in some sources for good quality, reasonably priced driving cap/newsie/Ivy cap/cheese cutter or whatever other names it may go by. Thanks in advance!

For help in the hat department, I suggest joining the Fedora Lounge. The wealth of info there is... well... kind of like Indy gear info here.
Since I would likely answer you over there, anyhow, I may as well do it here. I prefer
www.hatpeople.com - they sell soft, floppy newsies, custom sized, and often have fabric not posted on their website (give them a call). Choice of cuts, too.
I have also purchased from Hanna Hats, in Ireland. More body to the caps, if that's what you like. Also, larger color choices, but no choice of cut.
Lastly, I hear good things about BWear! caps. Never owned one, though.
Good Luck.
For reference, my newsboy collection;
