The Midtowner is a dapper take on the classic porkpie hat, inspired by 1950s–60s noir cinema and infused with a hint of jazziness. A city hat by nature, it pairs effortlessly with dressier outfits, while its inherent versatility allows it to be dressed down when the occasion calls for it.
While a traditional porkpie typically features a very narrow, stingy brim, here it has been given a more generous dimension, making it a more practical piece of protective headwear. Paired with its structured low crown and flat top, the result is a cleaner, more solid silhouette than that of a classic Fedora.
A wide 20-ligne ribbon with a classic bow lends the hat a decidedly dressy character, while the option to accommodate narrower hat bands allows for subtle variations that, in thoughtful combination with the felt colour, can significantly alter its personality.
