Well, pork pie hats were very much the "Blue Beat" era. I never saw a single one in S E London or elsewhere during skinhead or suedehead era. The picture in the article you showed appears to be a spoof,
The hat in the illustration there appears to be the trilby I described.
I would say the last time Blue Beat Hats were worn,would be in `67.Used to buy mine from a little Jamaican Hat Shop in Brixton.The Trilby I wore was about `69,my Mate bought it off me and carried on wearing it-through the early `70s.
