Possibly. Bowlers are flatter on top than most people think, and if the BOP has a shorter crown, it may be a sort of optical illusion which is why I'm hoping someone can give a real side-by-side comparison.

Not to bu*tt in but one of the major differences is going to be in the crown shoulder of the BOP regardless of how flat top the bowler is or isn’t.

Asking for a friend...

Does anyone have a Boss of the Plains AND a vintage Stetson bowler who could tell me how similar or different the crown shapes are from one another?

Thanks.

Well, not exactly. But here is my 1922 hat which comes from.the BOP/Austral lineage, my Knudsen repro BOP, and a Select Quality bowler.
