In my mind Pork Pie hats are all about the attitude, but it depends on who's wearing them. Worn for comedic effect by Buster Keaton and Art Carney (as Ed Norton in The Honeymooners), for a while they became associated with "tough guys" like Gene Hackman's Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle in The French Connection, Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa, and more recently by Bryan Cranston as Heisenberg in Breaking Bad. I align with the former camp myself; it's just a fun hat that shows I don't take myself too seriously.Now that's what i'm talkin' about. A little attitude...
I had a squarer face when I was younger, but I think my hair is afraid of my eyebrows because my hairline has been slowly backing away from them for the last few decades. My forehead is now a fivehead working it's way towards being a sixhead. I could sell advertising space on this thing. It's one of the reasons I wear my other hats with the brims snapped down--to keep the glare from blinding people....Looks good you got an oval face like me.
