Pork Pie Hat Retail Stores

Flat-topped, short-brimmed pork pie hats in felt and straw

The pork pie hat is defined by its shape: a flat top with a crease running round the crown's edge - the telescoped crown - and a short brim turned up or worn snapped. The store listed here is Classic Cap Company, a specialist headwear company retailing mainly British-made quality classic men's caps and hats. Its hat range covers the pork pie alongside the fedora, trilby, bowler, straw boater, top hat, homburg, Panama, safari and outback styles, and its cap ranges include Bakers boy, Gatsby, deerstalker and chauffeur caps.

Recognizing a True Pork Pie

Look at the crown from above: a pork pie is flat across the top with a defined circular crease inset from the edge, like the crust rim of the pie it is named for. The brim is short - shorter than a fedora's - and the overall height is low, which gives the hat its neat, sharp profile. Felt versions in wool or fur felt are the classic form, long associated with jazz and ska musicians; straw pork pies are the summer translation of the same geometry. If the crown is pinched at the front, it is a fedora or trilby instead - Classic Cap Company lists all three, so the distinction matters when ordering.

Wearing and Fitting a Pork Pie

A pork pie sits level and fairly high compared with a fedora, and because the crown is shallow it is worn by head size more than by feel - measure carefully and follow the maker's chart. It pairs with slim suits, casual tailoring and music-scene styling, and its small brim makes it practical in crowds and cars where a wide brim gets knocked. Store it on its crown or a stand so the flat top stays flat, brush felt in the direction of the nap, and keep straw versions dry and uncrushed.
