Budget Indy Hats?

Think your best bet would be the Akubra Federation IV. It's not specifically an Indy hat, but has the right dimensions. It comes open crown, so you can crease it however you like. There are two versions, regular and deluxe, with the difference being the quality of felt. Both are excellent hats, and the regular would certainly come in under $130. The other options in that price range, like the licensed Dorfman Pacific, are wool felt and are more akin to costume pieces, though there is nothing wrong with that, per se.
