That's not completely off base, as the bowler was very popular among the 19th century folk of the United States. It was even popular in the west, possibly more so than the more commonly known wide brimmed cowboy hat. The cowboy hat was popular among those who rode the range out in the sun, but town folk tended to wear other types of hats, including the bowler.
I've got a bowler that I use in my western costumes when I want a different look.
