Greetings!
New member here. I was searching for some hat info and found this cool forum. Perhaps someone here can identify this hat? I'd like to have one with a sharp crease and a narrow brim like this but so far haven't found anything particularly close. A Stetson Mercury and a couple from Christ'y models seem sort of in the ballpark but. This guy is Prince Michael of Kent so it may be bespoke. If so, how would one describe such a hat to be ordered or shaped?
Presuming he bought it in the UK, there's only a handful of brands, and AFAIK, all are manufactured by Christy's.
This Lock looks pretty darn close: https://www.lockhatters.com/collections/men-trilbies-porkpie-hats/products/wetherby-trilby
The other London Hatters are Bates and Herbert Johnson.
