The pork pie hat has a specific cultural history that most people know without knowing they know it. It is the hat of jazz musicians and ska bands, of Buster Keaton and of the type of deliberately eccentric British dresser who wears their hat as a signature rather than an accessory. The flat-top crown and the short, upturned brim are the two elements that have defined the silhouette since the mid-nineteenth century, and they remain unchanged.
This brown crushable version is made from 100% wool felt with a water-repellent surface, a cotton sweatband for all-day comfort, and the flat crown and upturned brim that make the pork pie silhouette immediately recognisable. The crushable construction means it packs into a bag, travels without a hat box, and recovers its shape on arrival without needing to be steamed or reshaped.
Brown is the warmest and most relaxed colour in the pork pie range, working naturally with the kind of vintage-influenced dressing that the shape suggests: canvas jackets, denim, brogue shoes, and the heritage-adjacent wardrobe that a brown pork pie hat complements rather than interrupts.
