What brush is good for a beaver fedora?

Generally speaking, brushes with boar hair bristles are preferred, though members here have used all sorts of brushes. Horse hair is probably second most popular.

Brushes are pretty easy to come by at the $10-20 range.

The bristles should be stiff enough to brush the hat (duh), but not so ridged they can gouge into the felt. NO wire brushes no matter how dirty your hat is!

Any vendors you suggest?

No, a quick google search will provide any number of buying options.
