Established in 1911, we bring you the finest hats and caps coupled with excellent service and a staff consisting of some of the most knowledgeable hat people in the industry. We provide hands on service, expert advice and a well rounded selection of headwear that includes fedoras, newsboy caps, berets and much more.

What's with the pig?

In 2011 we opened our first satellite location, Pork Pie Hatters, in Manahattan's East Village. Followed in 2012 by our second shop of the same name in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. Both of the new shops offer the same great service and quality products offered by our flagship, coupled with an atmosphere suited to their respective neighborhoods. If you spot a pig stamp on any product, that means the product is exclusive to Pork Pie Hatters and ships exclusively from them.
