I did figure it was a bit earlier than the classic film-noir hat but you very rarely see 'dress' hats over here
I love the quality of the 1930s and older hats, but for me the pinnacle of the fedora was the 1940s. The tall crowns and wide brims were fantastic and the felt and build quality was still excellent.
Personally, when I consider the earlier soft felt hats I lean towards the curled brims, and not just homburgs. There was a lot of diversity in the early part of the 20th Century and some of the styles just check all the boxes for me.
