khaki caubeen source?

I was going to buy myself a khaki caubeen from J. Byous, since I like the lightweight camo caubeen I bought from them a while back, and summer is coming. However, when I went to their website, lo and behold, they have retired! Do any of the rabble know of a source for a light weight, caubeen?

Yes, they closed their doors a little over a year ago. I am also a fan of their unlined summer caubeen and have a couple I wear regularly. They also made a great looking tam that was half way between the current MOD TOS and the old WWII flying saucer. It was good quality stuff.

I must have too much time on my hands. Cruising the web for a couple hours, I only found lined caubeens and none in khaki except for a couple sources of WWII reproductions of questionable quality. Otherwise, it seems green and black are about your only choices these days. Alexis Malcomb in Florida appears to have a good lined model in those two colors: http://www.alexismalcolmkilts.com/bonnets.html .
