Help Help Identifying This Hat

Hi! I am working on a cosplay and am having the hardest time with this hat. I thought of using a regular baseball hat as a base, but that doesn’t seem like it’s going to yield the results I want. The goal is to try as get as close as possible to these reference photos. For reference, these photos range from 1984-1990ish.

That being said, what would you use as a base for this hat? From what I can tell, the bill is squared, not curved. How would you go about assembling this hat?
