Bates are good solid hats, I don't know who actually makes them though.

Can't claim any insider knowledge, but I suspect that a lot of them are Tonak or Christys. I've certainly handled a fair few Bates over the years that were remarkably similar to Christys, albeit with something of a price mark-up.
Hilditch & Key have done well keeping Bates alive; they do occasional sales that are very good too, worthwhile discounts.
