Hats come in a wide variety of shapes and colors. No matter if wide or narrow. No matter if red or black. Hats really do come in almost every variety. One of the most popular hats is the Pork Pie Hat.
The Pork Pie hat is characterized by a narrow, flat brim and its very characteristic crown. The crown, just like our Pork Pie Hat Bolzano, is flattened at the top and the pressing itself is oval. There is of course also the Pork Pie Diamond hat. The difference is the top pressing. It is not oval like by the standard Pork Pie, is is shaped like a diamond.
The origin of the Pork Pie goes back to the 19th century USA. There, famous jazz musicians wore the hat as part of their stage outfits. Then in the 1920s the hat began to spread across Europe and today it is one of the most popular hats around the world.
