Is Bailey & Bruno Capella the same company? Or is this another confused eBay seller?
I don't think I've ever seen a Bailey hat with bound edges on the brim.

  1. I'm a bit confused about this hat on eBay. Label inside the hat clearly says Bailey. It's lined inside, so it's not a lite felt hat.

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Wool-Swing-Style-Hat-Made-By-Baileys-FREE-Shipping/293177496843

    But the seller also lists Bruno Capela.

    I've submitted an offer for it & waiting to hear from the seller.


I'd be confused too. Makes no sense to me why Bruno Capela would be mentioned cause it sure looks like Bailey to me. I like the style with the teardrop crown as well as color. Also inexpensive that would probably make a great beater hat. However you might have to wait until the last possible minute or second to place another bid as someone will most likely try to out bid you during the final seconds. Best of luck!

Considering the title and the description (which both require the user to manually type) both state "Bailey's" I suspect this is simply an error. To my knowledge the Brand field in the Item Specifics section is populated via a drop down menu. It's not all that uncommon for there to be inconsistencies in this section.

Very nice Jack. These two will fit into your already impressive collection of OR and OR style hats quite well!

Thanks Bowen. They already have a younger sibling. Looking forward to making some comparisons.

Well, I picked it up for the minimum bid. Now comes the waiting game & hoping that it's packed well.
