Worn by Integrity
Bailey is an American hat brand founded by George S. Bailey in Los Angeles, United States, in 1922. It offers headwear such as fedoras, flat caps, and Western hats made from materials including felt and straw. The brand grew against the backdrop of Hollywood’s costume needs and the culture of the American West, and has been operated by Bollman Hat Company since 1986. The fusion of Hollywood elegance and Western toughness is at the heart of the brand, which carries on traditional hatmaking through the Bailey 1922 and Bailey Western lines.
