Interesting hat from the 1920s - has anyone seen one one like it or know what it is?

Is it possible he's wearing the hat sideways with the crown snapped up?

Open crown...? The brim doesn't have much shape to it either...

Funny pic! I'm with Soup on this one, though. I think the guy was messing around, and turned his fedora sideways. That would severely warp the brim, and a center dent might look that tall if worn that way.
He sure looks happy, whoever he is.

I dunno...all I'll say is, if I were riding with him, I'd want the terrier to do the driving.

Looks like a very tall bowler to me. Somehow, with his long face, it almost works.

I once saw a hat with a crown so tall it had to be supported by buttresses.
