Porkpie hats, you know the men's dress hat associated most closely with jazz clubs, musicians, and late night revelries, are a bit of a mystery when it comes to how they got their name. One thing I know, though: our collection of straw porkpies is primo: we've got The Downer, a Milan braid porkpie from Henschel of St. Louis; we've got The Borsalino Orlando, a lightweight Doria paper braid porkpie with brilliant grosgrain trim; and we've got that Canadian contribution, The Milan Telescope, a Biltmore straw dress hat that comes in an array of colors, including Olive, Cocoa, Wine Blue, Natural and Red. Stacy Adams is right up there with a matte raffia porkpie (available in navy, pine or sand) called The Washington -- and it is a truly capital hat. [more]
