The Origins of the Pork Pie Hat

The pork pie hat is a timeless fashion statement with roots tracing back to the mid-19th century. This stylish hat gained widespread popularity in the 1920s, thanks to legendary American actor and filmmaker Buster Keaton, famously known as "The Great Stone Face". Keaton's signature look cemented the pork pie hat as a cultural icon. After a dip in popularity during World War II, the hat made a strong comeback in the jazz and blues scene and has recently experienced a revival through hit TV shows and streaming series.

How Pork Pie Hats Are Made

Renowned brands like Stetson, Brixton, and Chillouts have perfected the art of crafting pork pie hats. Stetson, in particular, stands out for its rich heritage and unmatched craftsmanship. Other exceptional manufacturers include Lierys, Mayser, Bailey 1922, and the luxury brand Borsalino.

These hats come in a variety of materials, from classic wool felt and luxurious cashmere to breathable linen, lightweight Panama straw, and even water-repellent fur felt. Whether you're gearing up for summer adventures or winter outings, there's a pork pie hat to match every season. 

Unique Features and Benefits

Pork pie hats are as versatile as they are stylish. Choose a lightweight straw version for sun protection in summer, or opt for a crushable, water-repellent felt hat for year-round wear. Many models also feature thoughtful details like fabric linings for added warmth in winter or timeless leather trims for a classic look.

Special design elements—like a side feather, leather or fabric hatbands, or eye-catching patterns—add a personal touch to these hats. Many pork pies are expertly crafted in the European Union, with standout options from Italy and Germany.

How to Style a Pork Pie Hat

This fashionable hat is incredibly versatile. Wear it flat for a polished look or tilt it back on your head for a more relaxed, casual vibe. Pork pie hats pair perfectly with light summer outfits, smart blazers, or even chic winter coats. Experiment with your look and find the style that feels uniquely you.

Pork Pie vs. Fedora – What’s the Difference?

The pork pie and fedora hats share similarities but are distinct in design. The pork pie features a short brim that curls upward all the way around and a crown that’s circular or diamond-shaped. In contrast, a fedora has a wider brim, typically angled downward at the front and upward at the back, with a teardrop or pinched crown.
