How did the porkpie hat, poularized by Buster Keaton, originate?
The pork pie hat originated in the mid-19th century, when it was commonly worn by American cowboys before the Stetson hat became popular. However, the term originally referred to a women’s style of the same era. The pork pie hat is so named because its shape resembles a pork pie. A tradition started by Vaudeville Comedians Buster Keaton and Joe E. Brown and extended by countless Jazz musicians, the Pork Pie lives on.
