At the time the high crowned hats were just fashion, same as how the 60's hats were super low and tapered. If you are used to one style and see something completely different youmind thinks "no that's wrong". I am sure when the top hat hit high fashion that it was an awkward looking hat then as more people wore them, the guy who suddenly started wearing the bowler instead of the top hat looked really funny.
Honestly it is easier for me to wear a lower crowned hat now that I have lost some weight because I don't look as stubby with a little sloped crown wich sort of accentuated the rutundity of my person. The high untapered crown I preffered sorta drew me up ward instead of outward.
Here I am at the January Vintage Expo when I was bigger. I think if I had a smaller crowned hat at the time I would look rediculous.
The crown of this hat has the same dimentions as the one in my avitar, only the brim is a little bigger on the grey hat.
