Dear Patrick, Not organic, but a military surplus booney hat fits your other criteria and comes in good sizes at a reasonable price. Get one in now-obsolete chocolate chip desert camo, and it won't be too hot in the sun. Wash it once in your soap of choice to get rid of all the pesticides....
Tilley makes a bucket hat too. It would probably meet your needs once washed. I use their big-brim hats for field work.
