A large portion of my hats are black, mainly because I collect bowlers. I think that fedoras were generally designed to be a bit more flashy. All the advertising I see for the era all go to lengths to describe the vast array of felt colors available.
I just assume that most hatmakers back then just figured the need for a black hat was already filled with the then popular derby or homburg.
