What Type of Hat is This?

What type of hat does Tom Waits wear? Is it just a fedora?

That is a well beaten fedora.

Yeah I think it's a fedora with the brim kind of bent out of shape.

If this were about wool cloche hats I would be totally weirded out because my girlfriend and I were just talking about them.

Pork pie hat.

Ding.

We are some stylish bitches.

I came in prepared to say "pork pie hat" no matter what kind of hat it was.

But, lo and behold....

so weird. so did i, since it seems to be the one that most people don't properly identify.
i love pork pie hats.

I thought that pork pie hats were absent of the "pinch" at the front.

I wish old timey hats would make a comeback. I'd be keen for a wide-bell top.

tom waits and his hat approve of this thread.

Yes, you're actualy right. It isn't a pork pie hat, but a fedora. But isn't pork pie hat fun to say?

It's a lot more fun to say than fedora, I'll give you that.

whats funny is that if right now you type pork pie hat into google news the first thing that comes up is about tom waits


also waits has been wearing that particular hat for years so it probably has that "pinch" from years of cigarette smoke soaking into it

Touche, sir. Touche.

it's an incredibly snappy hat, is what.

its the kind of hat no one has any business wearing until they are really old and drunk or english, famous, and hooked on intravenous drugs. or tom waits.

damn, i guess i need to put mine back in the closet until i am really old.

That hat looks like it is about to slip off!

Those hats make me very happy..
I own one, however, I look like a tool in it.

I refuse to believe this.

no i really look like i belong in the cast of "oliver"

I drunkenly bought one of these hats and more amazing it actually suits me

Being drunk and English makes you fit into jason's stipulations of who can wear that hat.
