WIDE brim porkpie in 1927 film?

[John in Covina]

Pork pie = telescopic crown?

Pork pie = telescopic crown?

Is a teardrop shaped telescopic crown a pork pie too?

 

[Art Fawcett]

John, you are sortof right. Pork pie is a shallow crease, telescope is a deeper crease but same shape to both.
Short answer JS..yes, sortof...

Perry's pork pie

In the first season of Perry Mason 1957-58, Perry appears in a few with a great pork pie fedora fairly wide brim.

(Both Lt Tragg and DA Berger appear in fedoras but tragg has a diverse collection in the first season.):eusa_clap

Found this site last summer

http://www.houseoftheorangemonkey.co.uk/monkey/hats/porkpie.htm This might be the widest brim I've seen on a pork pie hat. Or not; I've seen the John Gilbert movie but don't remember the hat. This little one is not very wide, at any rate.

How's that new jacket fittin' ya?

Got here yesterday - I'll have to take some pix! Even happier with the actual color than the photos showed.

Wide Brimmed Pork Pie

Here's the one Miller Hats offers.
Naturally, I'd rather save up $7. 50 for an original Art. But I was always fascinated by this pork pie with such a wide brim. I don't think I had seen one before this. Does this style echo the zoot suit culture?

I thought I remembered, and checked, and low and behold -

Sheridan in a pork pie!

I've been somewhat intrigued by Akubra's variation on the porkpie, the Pastoralist:

It seems pretty different from most of their "country hats", and I think it would look kinda snazzy with the brim turned up in back... Have any Australian hepcats here ever tried this?

The Telescope is a very old western hat crown shape. Trim the brim and you have a porkpie.

I had one for a bit. Lost it in Tokyo Bay. Liked it a lot, but I kept the brim flat.

I'd seen that pic, too!

And although I don't have a clue about the vendor/maker/material/quality...

...this replica of the Sheridan 'pie'

is/was available here...?! It's such an unusual "do" on a porkpie that I'm actually tempted to call them. :arated: It'd make a super car hat!

I have bought a couple of hats from them. They seem to be quite agreable. The hats tend to be on the heavy/thick side so just keep that in mind.
