So I was thinking that my brother might look good in a pork pie hat. He’s balding and has been wearing Kangol wool flat caps that look just terrible on anyone but Samuel L. Jackson. I’m thinking classic pork pie, made of straw with a telescope crown. Stingy brim of course. Please share your recommendations on where to find such a fine chapeau. Price range ~$50-100.

Kangol makes a [pork pie](http://www.dadshats.com/kawmopo1.html)as well - very comfortable and crushable…

I have a slightly different Bailey Panama and really like it. Quality.
