Welcome Joe. Now we are all waiting to see your hats and now let's be honest YOUR HAT SIZE.

Yes, that website has their full range. No prices, but I think they might sell them through a couple US based websites?mayserwegener said:Do they have a website? Be interested in seeing what they have.
Actually decided to take a look myself.

Incredibly lightweight felt, very thin and soft. The colors are amazing: the felt has a deep charcoal grey, the ribbon, the edge binding and the button of the wind trolley have a nice red/magenta color (albeit slightly faded, especialy on the ribbon), and the cord of the trolley has a blueish tint.
The hat is in immaculate condition and appears to have never been worn. I just gave it a brush and a new crease and that was it.
Brim 2 5/8"
Crown 5 1/2" open, 4 1/2" creased
Anyone willing to make an educated guess about the age of this hat?

Roninjedi said:Oh dear! I'm not certain but, if it's the hat I'm thinking of, that might have been me. I'm so sorry! :eusa_doh: I tend to erase the items I don't win from my 'Bay archives, so I can't be sure. In the last few auctions I made a last ditch effort by bidding just a hair beyond the limit I set myself. Didn't work for any of them since my pockets aren't yet deep enough. Still, it's good to see nice lids go to the kind of people who can really appreciate them. Congratulations!
I don't know about the overall effect, but there's a reason we don't post links to live ebay auctions . . .quickerNu said:Thanks! The hat just really wanted to be in Central Texas I guess!? If it really looks as good in person as it does in the pics, I will be very happy. I wonder this website has done to e-bay hat prices...
buler said:Wow! Thats a beauty, Mario. :eusa_clap
I'd say late thirties, early forties. Please add it to the Dunlap Drive-In

The Bailey Hat Company was established in Los Angeles, California in 1922 by George S. Bailey. Bailey embraced the exploding growth and excitement of Los Angeles in the 1920's, the heady mixture of oil fields, aviation, land speculation and movie glamour.
Bailey of Hollywood: the proud creator of "classic American men's hats, made for the Hollywood elite since 1922".
