pork pie?

im the whitest kid ever, i got long hair, and i want a porkpie hat, will it work on me?



imput? i wear a fedora and a ponytail now.

[whoatherechunk]

yea i do think it would. i think you'd look better with short hair as well. but that's just me....

[nortonrider]

I don't think they work on anybody.
(they're stupid looking)

I'm not much of a hat guy, but if I were, I'd wear a fedora. I don't like pork pies.

Pork Pie hats only work for Marcus.

I thought this was going to be a thread about drums!

I think someone needs to do a photo shop job on your pic, and see how many people LOL out loud.

Passe. Say goodbye to the pork pie hat and the beret too. Fedoras are still cool.

[VroomVroom]

It would totally work. You just need to see if it's for you. Hats are all about how you feel wearing them. If you're comfortable, the rest of the world will pick up on the vibe. Try it. If you don't like it, shed the melody and play over the changes to Mingus' tune to make yourself feel better about the whole thing.

Pork pie FTW! I'm known as a hat guy, especially when I put on my bowler and a white union suit for our "Tribute to Clockwork Orange" set.

I like my pork pie...

And while I am a white guy, I am also bald (shaved head) and have never worn a pony tail. So your mileage may vary.

[nortonrider]

If you really feel the need to wear a lid, try one of these. It will get you the same reaction as wearing a porkpie.


.

(The reaction is that people are going to laugh at you for trying to attract attention to yourself by wearing a funny hat)

Hi.

Try it, and don't care what others think if the look pleases You.

I'm not a hat guy, but one thing I can't understand about military style flat berets. Why do people who haven't been in the armed forces that use berets wear them?
And my god, the French style, whatsitname, with the funny nipple on the middle, folded on the side like a military beret?

I wore mine with pride when I was serving in the tank batallion, but then again we had to take the oath to wear them and at that time we were about the only ones that had berets. No one wore black as we did though. Some might argue that Finnish military isn't that big of a deal since every able man is required to do his service and it's also open to women who want to serve, but our fathers, mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers kept this tiny corner of Europe independent.

So, why the military berets?

Just my 0.02€

PS. Are You related to the original drummer of H.I.M, Pätkä? The resemblence is striking .

[in response to all the posts that imply a hat somehow has magic powers and can make people do things]

If you dig it, I dig it. Dig it?

[Pilgrim]

Of course it will. But what makes the hat work is when YOU feel comfortable in it. Then it looks natural. That will take a while.

[TheoFly]

Absolutely. A Pork Pie hat would be perfect for you. Please get one and post another picture as soon as possible.

[sobie18]

A pork pie with a Fodera would be the way to go.

[Baryonyx]

No hat will work for you unless you get a haircut, IMO.

No, I disagree. I think hats can look real good with long hair. Just not pork pies...

[kesslari]

Try it and see.
BTW, a pork pie is a type of fedora (it's a particularly shaped crown and brim).
You can always reshape the brim and crown if you don't like the porkpie look.

Heres a pic of me with a Fedora, make your judgements based on this
P.S. I was dressed up as Jake Blues for halloween (my dad was Elwood)
