    Show off your Porkpies

    There are some similarities in the shape, but no one refers to a boater as a "straw pork pie" (at least no one knowledgable about hats). Boaters are completely flat on top rather than creased (although there are flat-top felt hats that get lumped together with pork pies) and have a flat brim...

    7-1/2 to 7-5/8 Dobbs Twenty (1950s)

    I saw that one on the 'Bay, but the measurements of 8 3/8" by 6 5/8" sounded too small for a 7 3/4 LO.

    Show off your Porkpies

    Commercially available pork pies are usually pretty low-crowned and the liner often ends up laying on top of my head, which is why I had my eye on a Stetson Nostalgia, so I could make one with a decently high crown and a non-stingy brim.

    Very well balanced considering then crown height and brim width. Looks perfectly harmonized.

    Dimensional brim? It looks wider than 2 inches in the front. Great color and ribbon.

    Ear Flicking, Hat Manhandling, Hat Tips, Boy George, and Hat Crushing

    I went out to a Mexican restaurant with some family members tonight. I was wearing my Stetson Nostalgia, and since there were no chairs left over at our table, I placed my hat upside down on a chair at the empty table next to ours. While we were eating I hear a young boy's voice say "Whoa, a...

    Stetson Nostalgia pork pie, quickly becoming on of my favorite hats. I'm very partial to the Caribou color. It looks bluish grey in some photos, and here it looks more like a dark heather grey. I'm also partial to having a pork pie that has room for a modest pompadour.

    The hat looks great, just stingier and smaller than what I need.

    This is definitely lower Wacker Drive. Sorry, I hear "Wacker Drive" and I can't help making a Blues Brothers reference. Once it's cleaned up it'll definitely be upper Wacker Drive. ;) Great finds!

    Was it a conversion? He didn't say. Just in case you made the same mistake I did at first, those are two different hats he posted, but they're just about the same color (at least on my screen). At first glance I thought it was the same hat pre- and post-conversion. The pork pies are calling...
