Museum Replicas has a nice Uboat hat.
Warhats.com is another place I am surprised you had not found. A simple google search shows quite a few places that will sell a hat like that. I can't opine on the quality though as I have only done business with Museum Replicas Good luck. I don't think you will have a problem finding a company willing to sell you one. It is just a matter of finding the right price for the right quality

One question: The US skippers wore the khaki or the white hat during patrols? I think the white was worn during official ceremonies...

Given that in the Navy covers (hats) are only to be worn out-of-doors, never inside, It's likely that they didn't wear them at all except when entering and leaving port.
As to your question, as it does apply to surface ships: Khaki hats are worn with khaki (work) uniforms. White hats are worn with dress blue uniforms.

I always wondered about that when I watch WWII submarine movies. While wearing the officer caps looks spiffy, I can't imagine much that would be less practical than wearing a cap in a cramped hot submarine.
But then military uniform rules don't always make a practical sense.

So in WWII what were the rules for wearing a cover on a submarine?
And have these changed for today's submarine force?
