There's a pork pie hat from Borsalino that's new for the Spring/Summer 2013 collection. Called The Rossellino, it's a white-on-white parasisal straw hat with an upturned stingy brim and grosgrain fabric ribbon trim and sweatband. Elegant and comfortable on the head, it's one of my new favorites for the season. These dress hats are really kind of collector's items when you think about it. Take The Montecristi Pork Pie, for instance. Issued by Biltmore of Canada, this Panama hat is blocked to

perfection, the quality is impeccable and the brim is just as stingy as it gets. One satisfied customer review reads: "I spend time in southeast Asia and have to wear hats. Panama hats are great but you need one of high quality because of all the heat and humidity. This one rocks!"
Another stunning example of a pork pie hat from Biltmore comes in Milan braid. Absolutely no one, anywhere, does Milan braid pork pies better than Biltmore. Choose the color of the hat body offered for your size; each has the same striped ribbon trim with bow.
Kangol has issued a couple of pork pies too that you'll like. The Braid is an unlined, multi-tonal striped hat with two inch brim and cotton sweatband, while Kangol's Panama Pork Pie features a vibrant red trim with brass buckle and pin. This hat is made in the USA and boasts a very stingy 1 1/2 inch contrast-colored brim. From Santana comes what I think may be the coolest hat of the year. Called The Healer, it's part of the Carlos Santana line and is a boldly woven black and white shantung straw pork pie hat with striking heartbeat embroidered grosgrain trim, a two inch brim and Milagro pin.
Another Panama hat in a pork pie shape is the very popular Makins pinch front Dot. Made of a finely woven Panama straw imported from Ecuador, it's shaped and blocked in the Makins New York workshop using live steam. A satisfied customer reviewed this hat, saying: "I have owned this particular hat for 6 years and have always received nothing but amazing comments about it in public, like: "Where did you buy that?" and "What brand is that?". It makes me feel great. You can definitely tell the difference that quality makes with this hat! Makins is remarkably above and beyond anything you'd normally find in a department store.
For a superb collection of pork pie hats (among other styles of dress hats), take the time to review a section of HartfordYork.com called Makins Men's Special Order Hats. You won't buy them all, but you'll almost certainly drool.
