Our take · Researched, not tested

Brown felt pork pie for folks who like their style a little warmer.

Black pork pies get all the headlines. The brown one quietly goes with more of your closet. This Chi-Town is crushable wool felt in brown, with a 2 in brim and a 3 1/2 in pork pie crown that sits low and flat on top. There's a grosgrain ribbon band tied off with a bow, and the sweatband adjusts with Velcro. The listing tags it packable, so tossing it in a weekend bag is fair game. It's imported. Pair it with tan chinos, a knit sweater or a corduroy jacket when the air turns crisp.

Cody's tip: After it rides in a bag, punch the crown back out from the inside with your fingers and let it rest a few hours before you judge it.

Great for

  • Fall layers like corduroy and knits
  • Weekend trips, since it's packable
  • Everyday wear with a trim 2 in brim

Skip it if

  • You want maximum shade: the brim is 2 in
  • You want a hat for hot days: look at straw

Questions

How should it fit?
Level on your head, about a finger above your eyebrows, clearing the tops of your ears. Sizes in stock run SM to XL. SM fits heads 21 to 21 7/8 in (54 to 55 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, size up and add an insert.
Can you wear the Chi-Town in summer?
You can, at night shows, weddings and anywhere air-conditioned, but felt runs warm on a hot afternoon. Tradition puts felt from Labor Day to Memorial Day and straw in between, per Resistol.
Can you pack the Chi-Town?
Yes. The store lists it as packable or crushable. Pack it crown down at the top of your bag with the crown stuffed with socks, then reshape the brim with your hands when you arrive.
How do you clean the Chi-Town?
Brush felt with a soft hat brush, counterclockwise, and lift lint with a barely damp cloth or a lint roller. Keep it away from heat, which can shrink felt, and store it on its crown so the brim keeps its shape.
Can you return it?
Per American Hat Makers, as stated on their site Nov 6, 2026, it offers 90-day easy returns. Policies change, so confirm on the store's page before you order.
Do you sell this hat?
No. American Hat Makers sells it. The store button opens their product page, and we earn a commission if you buy, at no cost to you.
