Where would one get a normal
Wide brimmed boonie hat.  

Not the type 2 short brim stuff.

Like a woodlan d7/3/4.

eBay, just type in exactly what you want and hit buy it now.

Too easy. I have a few I use for the vineyard that I’ve purchased from eBay.

I’m a big fan of Shelta hats.
ProTip: Never pick a fight with a tree planter. He swings a hoedad for 9 hours a day, carries 30-40 pounds of seedlings on his back, and has 12-14 friends just like him hiding out on the other side of the junk butt pile. They will fuck your shit up.

Grandpopsarmynavy.com has the 3” brim in a few colors. Made by the usgi maker. I have a few. They are nice. Would recommend.

Probably more than you want to spend, by far the best summer outdoor hat I own is an Australian Outback.  It's a cowboy shape wide brim suede bottom and top with a mesh center.  The suede holds moisture much longer than fabric but you still get that evaporative cooling effect.  Mine's actually a Joze.  An Aztrala buffalo is $89.   Anyway, I boat so that means hours upon hours in the sun.   Though not as pack friendly as a boonie, it is crushable.

Generic ones are available all over.  But if you want the cadillac of boonies, search for Slangvel.  He makes custom hats, offers many unique features (velcro to make the boonie into an outback style or tricorn, mesh vents, hi-visability liners, etc...), and also has various pre-made hats for sale.  He's probably on different socials, but I follow him on FB:  https://www.facebook.com/Slangvel

+ 1  I picked up a couple from them- very well made, UV-resistant, rip-stop fabric.

I have a couple of his hats. Not that impressed. Not poorly made. Just not really impressed. The usgi maker ones seem to be better. I may see if he’ll make one for me again with specific requirements. I want a modern Tricorn and he may be the only way to do it. 4” brim.

I really like my Tilley.  I also have a huge grey sun hat with a 6" brim that's awesome from Amazon for working outside

Yes, they seem breathable, especially the desert tiger stripe one, which is 100% cotton. They have decent size vent holes. I haven’t worn them much in very hot weather, though.
