Upon closer inspection, you could very well be right. But its still smokin' hot.
Though given what else is in the artist's page listing, I'm pretty sure this might be some homage to Michael Jackson, in which case it should be a fedora, as it mimics some of the stuff he wore around the Smooth Criminal era.

Just because it's tagged as something doesn't mean it is, it could still very well be a fedora, we'd just have to hear it from the horses mouth to know for sure, neh?

True, true. IDK, it just makes sense to me that it is? Ironically I have drawn Haku in a fedora and suit (before MJ died). Sadly, this is far more awesome than mine.

Top hats do not work that way, if you tried you'd just break it by the seam and end up crushing the top part in - They're "hard" hats not meant for shaping.
The hat in this picture is probably just a fedora with an unusual crease, seeing as you can pretty much shape them any way you want. In fact in the old days people bought their fedoras in "open crown" (aka unshaped) form, and then did the creasing themselves (or asked the hat retailer to do it for them), as factory-shaped Fedoras didn't really become the popular norm until the 40ies or so IIRC.
