Not just a traditional English dish
The Pork Pie owes its name to its resemblance to the classic traditional English dish. It’s a hat that’s a mix of a Trilby, Fedora and Homburg. We offer Pork Pie hats in various colors, such as red, blue, grey, anthracite, beige, black, and white. Pork Pie is a style that has been around since the 19th century, although it is often associated with the 30s and 40s of the 20th century. Pop culture has revived these Hats and today many people wear this type of hat and have made it part of their personal style.
Origin of the Pork Pie
Since the 1830s, the Pork Pie hat, which originated in the USA, has become an indispensable part of hat fashion. In recent years, it's been brought back to life, not least by famous Hollywood actors. You can always recognize a Pork Pie hat by its flat, rather rounded crown and narrow brim. The hats are mainly made of straw or felt. The variety of available styles has ensured that this round hat with its plate-shaped top and narrow brim quickly spread across the world and is becoming increasingly popular with both men and women.
Not only for Hipsters
The Pork Pie also represents a generation of hipsters who, in search of relaxation and recreation, have broken free from obligations and want to enjoy life to the fullest without stress. Wearing a hat has seen its fair share of 'ups and downs' in recent years. Beanies, caps, and headbands occasionally had the upper hand, temporarily pushing the Pork Pie hat into the background. But nowadays, more and more people, including younger generations, are wearing hats. With a Pork Pie hat, you're not only out and about with style, but you can also pimp your outfit individually.
