I recently got my first vintage hat from a small shop for 20 euro.

I wonder if it's vintage / antique and related to the royals. Can anybody tell me more about the origin?

Edit: pictures didn't work, added them as a comment

The logo has only appeared in a single search on etsy for a different top hat given a 1920 date, bowever this top hat has raised sides.

The emblem in the middle is of a lion and unicorn which can be found in a variety of plaxes, usually referencing the army or royal family.

The crown on top might indicate it has been custom made for a member of the royal family.

Fur / fabric seems to match the etsy post, suggesting mole fabric

I bought it in the Netherlands

Edit:

The high band also suggests post 1920 timeline. The crest in the middle might be of a duke


The middle crest is very similar to the one of George Prince of wales

Very interesting add!
The etsy post also has the text Ich dien, which is very often associated with prince george of wales!
