What is Bailey Hats?
Bailey Hats is a hat brand from the United States. It was founded in 1922 in Los Angeles, California, by George S. Bailey, a Midwesterner who loved hats.
Products and positioning
The brand makes hats for the West Coast market and for Western wear. Its range includes fedoras, flat caps, bowlers, pork pies, baseball caps and cowboy hats. It is organised in two main lines, Bailey 1922 and Bailey Western.
Ownership
Because the range spans both city styles such as fedoras and flat caps and Western styles such as cowboy hats, the brand sits between fashion and Western retail. The Bailey 1922 and Bailey Western trademarks are owned by Bollman, LLC and used under authorised licence.
Why it matters
Bailey marked 100 years in 2022 with limited edition anniversary hats, and its history reaches back to the founder's passion for hats in Los Angeles. It is one of the long-established American hat names serving both fashion and Western markets, which gives its range an unusually wide spread of styles.
