Not the sort of hat often seen around here, so it would be a big surprise if anyone around here knows the maker even though I’m sure we’re covered up with Gothic Rock fans.

If you’ll google ‘distressed rockstar fedoras’, I did, you’ll come up with quite a few examples and makers.

Not a bad suggestion, thanks. They used to put flour on their clothes on stage btw to make their clothes look more worn, Bolero hats with flat crowns look a bit similar but are a bit shorter.

In the first photo you posted, the shape reminds me of what is sometimes referred to as a "John Bull Top Hat" or "Coachman's Hat", i.e. coach drivers in "Victorian" England wore them while they drove their coaches around town:

The hat in the photos of Carl is a little more simplified--less taper on the crown, relatively flat brim--but they both have the same basic shape. Not an exact match, but at least a starting point for your search.

Yes, a coach hat is probably the closest actual style of hat to the first picture. Like you, however, I think is probably an old, abused top hat, or more likely, some goth costume knockoff.

I still like the RVZ/SRV clones that Mike at Northwest makes.

Harrison Ford and Robert Patrick in the new season of 1923 (source, 1923 instagram account)

And looking at Robert Patrick’s hat here makes me think THIS is what they should’ve put Costner in when they filmed The Highwaymen

That middle guy gives a strong Bill Murray vibe.

No hats, but I think this is a pretty incredible photoshop creation.

William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody (left, 1846 - 1917) with friend & sometime stand-in Dr. William DeVeny (right, 1852- 1918). Pic from 1914.

Pic from early 1917, shortly before Cody’s death.

Samuel Franklin Cowdery (1867 - 1913) who changed his name to S. F. Cody & claimed to be William F. Cody’s son. Cowdery relocated to Europe where he tried to establish his own Wild West Show but ended up in theater. He died at the young age of 46 in a crash while working on the manned flight of a war kite to replace reconnaissance hot-air ballons for the British before WWI. It is said the kite broke apart with Cowdery & an observer aloft at 200 ft.
