What Bailey of Hollywood is known for
American hat maker founded in 1922, known for fedoras, pork pies and Panama hats once worn by Golden Age Hollywood stars including Fred Astaire and Humphrey Bogart. The modern Bailey 1922 line uses the brand's water-repellent LiteFelt finish.
Bailey of Hollywood has made hats since 1922, building a reputation on West Coast style paired with old-world felting and finishing techniques. Its fedoras, flat caps and pork pies were worn by Hollywood stars of the studio era, including Fred Astaire and Humphrey Bogart. Bailey 1922 is the company's classic dress and everyday collection today, made in premium wool felt, fur felt and straw. A signature feature is the LiteFelt finish, a treatment that takes natural, unstiffened wool felt and makes it water-repellent and better able to hold its shape.
