Porkpie / Stingy Brim Hats
The porkpie became wildly popular by artists, musicians, and fashion forward
gentlemen in the 1940’s and 1950’s. Although this hat remained a strong
statement among artists throughout the years, it became popular during the
1990’s with the release of Johnny Depp’s “Benny and Joon” in 1993, along with
several others. The porkpie hat soon became the most important fashion hat of
the 1990’s.
Today’s bebop porkpie varies little from the original, yet many variations are
being made in other styles. The original porkpie featured a telescope brim, with
a very short 1 1/18” inch brim. Current brim lengths are as stingy as ever, but
porkpies can now be found with diamond crowns, center dents, and teardrop
crowns. The true popularity of the porkpie lies within the stinginess of the
brim length. As long as the brim remains short, the porkpie will continue to
evolve.
