Any modern hat makers who make real Milan and/or Boater hats?

Yes, You’re right I realize now I wasn’t connecting all the dots in my thought process. OP was referring to the original wheat Milan.
This is a hemp Milan probably similar to Akubra hemp straw hats that I have.
I just know I do not care at all for synthetic - polypropylene straw hats. My head suffocates.

I like the hemp hats. They're heavier than the real thing, but still pretty airy.

When we travel in central Washington state there is an agricultural section with fields of hemp AND large signage fronting the fields informing us city folk that this is NOT smokable marijuana. It is hemp for industrial purposes please leave it the hell alone.
