Mad May Hatters - The Pork Pie





At the moment hats seem to be coming back, and the Copenhagen guys aren't afraid to pretty their heads! Summer is finally on its way so a hat is definately a must for le summer wardrobe. The Pork Pie hats are fab, and give any old pair jeans and a white tee a kick. I takes a bit of attitude, so if you can pull it off go for it. Pork Pies date back to the 1950's, and got their name because they look like traditional english pork pies (appertizing I know), and were especially worn by the jazz musicians and actors of the time. The man on the photos above, actorand funny man Buster Keaton, was known for making his own Pork Pie hats, and was never seen without his trademark hat.


Get your own at the british site hatsandcaps.co.uk... I know I will!
