Hats & Beards: The Pork Pie 

That Porkpie looks great on you! Suits your beard shape perfectly! 🙂

Being follically challenged myself, I've now started wearing hats just about every day, not because I shave my head but for protection. Mostly wear baseball caps, but I do have an Akubra and want a couple more now

I have always loved wearing hats and have a nice collection. I love these videos! Since I've been shaving my head and grew my beard out (thank you for those tutorials!) I've been expanding my collection. Looking forward to the next one.

Can you give more info on the diamond pork pie at about 1:30

I was initially nervous when I got mine, I anticipated it not being a regular hat, but a "special" hat like my Bowler and Top Hat... But I actually really like the look and feel of this hat...

I’m short and a bit round, so I’d probably look like Odd Job if I wore one.

Loving the channel ,the hat, the beard and you got a new subscriber. I'm UK and got to say you dont know what your missing when it comes to a Pork Pie with relish or pickle and if it has an egg in the middle its a Gala pie....just saying

That hat looks fantastic on you Greg. Walter White was exactly who I thought of when I first saw the hat. Very interesting story on it as well. Take care my friend.

That hat looks good on you, Greg. How about a video/ review on a newspaper boys hat please? I think that hat would suit you.

The diamond one looked good on you.

I wear a hat every day, usually a flat cap.

I'm guessing 'English pastry hat' and 'Melton Mowbray hat' are American terms, because here in the UK, they're never called either of those. Melton Mowbray is famous for only one thing, which is actual pork pies (which are revolting, in my humble opinion. Fat and gristle in pastry 🤮). Also, although you can certainly find pork pie hats with feathers in stores and online, a traditional pork pie hat is feather-free. I believe the feather was added in the US several decades ago and it became a thing for some reason. Also, traditional pork pie hats don't have a bow. They have a ribbon with something that looks like a bow, but actually isn't a bow at all. Its a length of ribbon which could be fastened to the wearer's clothes during periods of high winds so that the hat didn't fly away, never to be seen again. I'm not a hat weirdo or anything but my father was a milliner in London so I learned a few things from him 😀

Do you get "you look like Billy Zane" alot?

I can only wear baseball hats and beanies. I could never get away w/the pork pie hat

And you can get any bill passed in parliament with said hats.

i'm about to purchase a Selentino Porkpie Oak 58cm in a Whiskey color (pure Rabbit Felt Fur) to join my Selention stable of hats. Great video sir, great history about the hat too. no matter what i'm wearing, when i leave the house, i have a proper hat on my brain case!!!!
