He is one Country icon who switched from cowboy hats to fedoras. Most of his band wears them, as well.

Hat seems to have a higher crown than most contemporary fedoras.
Vintage?

It's his own kind.


Cowboys and outlaws, right guys and southpaws,
Good dogs and all kinds of cats.
Dirt roads and white lines and all kinds of stop signs,
But I stand right here where I'm at,
'Cause I wear My Own Kind Of Hat.

The one he's wearing looks to have normal, modern proportions. It just looks odd because he's got the brim so wonked-out.
