Description
A pork pie hat is a distinctive style of hat characterized by a short, flat, and slightly rounded crown, often with a slight crease around the top edge. The brim is usually narrow and can be either flat or slightly upturned. This hat style gets its name because its shape resembles a traditional British pork pie.
Here are some key features of the pork pie hat:
- Crown: The crown is flat on top with a pinched or indented look, often referred to as a "telescopic" crown.
- Brim: The brim is relatively short compared to other hat types like fedoras, and it may curve up slightly around the edges.
- Material: Pork pie hats are made from various materials, including felt, straw, and leather. Leather pork pie hats are less common but add a sleek, modern twist to the classic style.
- History: This hat style became popular in the mid-19th century and has been worn by both men and women. It saw a resurgence in popularity during the jazz era of the 1920s and 1940s, often associated with musicians and artists.
- Pop Culture: The pork pie hat has been iconic in pop culture, most notably worn by the character Walter White in Breaking Bad, contributing to the hat's modern-day recognition.
