The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
The ebay seller advertised it as a bowler/derby, but it was actually a semi-stiff open crown. Unfortunately I didn't take a "before" photo. I am quite sure it was orginally a Lobbia with their typical center-dent; like often seen with other Borsalinos of this period. My size range is noted in my...- Steinbockhase

Why not, if all the other factors like brim etc. are equal to a typical pork pie? How would you know what the original form and crown shape of a used vintage hat was, if the pre-owner did some re-shaping?- Steinbockhase

I have already converted many crowns into "Pork Pie's" or "Gambler's" (IMO the difference is just the width of the hat brim). How much head-room you have (within the hat) just depends on how high or low you crease the dome / top of the hat; it is actually that simple! I personally like a...- Steinbockhase

Interesting story. For what it's worth; this is what Wikipedia has on Pork Pie: "The first hat to be called a pork pie was a hat worn primarily by British and American women from around 1830 through to about 1865. It consisted of a small round hat with a narrow curled-up brim, a low flat or...- Steinbockhase

My advice: Look for any quality felt hat with a very short flat brim in the color combination you like. If it's a good fur-felt you can always change / hand crease the crown to any shape you desire, just using some steam and patience. I have already converted several "Trilby's" and "Stingy...- Steinbockhase
