Definition:

The porkpie hat is part of the classic attire of American jazz and blues musicians. It has a short and indented flat top. The porkpie style was at one time prevalent in the UK, Jamaica, Australia and New Guinea. Women of the 19th century often wore this type of hat as well.

This hat was named after pork pies because they share a similar shape.
