You are more likely to see bowler hats - and top hats for that matter - being worn as part of the kit for morris dancing.

I have a bowler hat which I used to wear when playing for a Border morris side, but it got rather smashed when some edjit wanted to give his goyl one of my flowers. The hats are adorned with felt or ribbon flowers, beads, feathers and suchlike gewgaws.

As they are rather rare items now a days I will have to work out how to rebuild it if I want to wear it again.
