Americans call it a derby, after the Earl of Derby who helped popularize it. Englishmen know it as a bowler due to it's shape. Either way, this style of hat was first introduced in the early-1850's in England by Mr. Coke. It crossed the pond to America in the 1860's and remained popular well past the turn of the century.
