Thanks for the suggestions sir,Navy pinstripe you say?
In all seriousness though, do you have a budget in mind? Is it important to you to have a vintage hat, or would you wear a more modern one?
If you're ok with an off the rack hat, the Akubra Federation IV is a solid choice. Famous resilient, pretty classic styling. Probably Moonstone for Navy blue.
You might also check out the Stetson whippet in Caribou.
If hunting for a vintage hat seems fun, a relatively easy get would be the Stetson St. Regis homburg style. It was a mainstay for many decades and because they were usually embossed with the St. Regis name, that's an easy thing for a seller to list. Here's a random eBay auction pic:
Whether the hat is vintage or not doesn’t necessarily matter to me aslong as I like the look of the hat and I think it looks good on me. The Akurba is definetly on my radar never pictured a grey hat to go with the suit but you might be on to something.
