Crooks & Castles - Pork Pie Hat
So once again here is a dope hat that I would love to rock all summer and that is perfect for it. But here is a lil history behind the hat. Not many details are known about the origin(s) of pork pie hat except the style first appeared in the 18th century. Named for its similarity in appearance to a pork pie, the hat was originally a women’s headwear till it gradually became a staple for men as well.

Various incarnations have appeared since, including a recent variant from Crooks & Castles. Hand weaved in straws, a logo imprinted hat band wrapped around the brim. Available in natural or black
