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.
