The Bailey Hat Company was founded by George Bailey in 1922 in Los Angeles, California. Bailey was purchased by the Bollman Hat Company in 1986. Bailey hats and caps are known for craftsmanship, innovative design and luxury fibers and fabrics including fur felt, wool felt, litefelt, genuine panama, shantung, toyo straws and many others. These individually handcrafted hats are durable and carry a strong and sophisticated look.
The Spring & Summer Bailey Hat collections that Miller Hats carries include Panama hats, litestraw hats and the raindura straw hats.
The Bailey Panama hats are made of luxurious, lightweight, and natural straw hats. They are of Ecuadorian origin and they get their name from the hat worn during the construction of the Panama Canal. The panama hats are made from natural biodegradable fibers that come from the Toquilla plant and can take weeks to months to make one hat, depending on the Grade. They are blocked and finished in the USA with a passionate focus on making exquisitely crafted items.
Another Summer Straw Hat material includes the litestraw collection, which is a revolutionary fishing technology that softens traditionally hard straw headwear to create a soft, casual hat with flexibility. The Bailey Litestraw hats come with a water repellent finish and comfort sweatbands. Made in the USA.
Finally the Bailey Raindura straw hat - a revolutionary thermosetting yarn is hand woven inside a paper fiber straw hat body. The hat is then blocked and treated with an ultra light yet extremely effective water repellent coating. The results is the most durable, shape retentive, water repellant paper straw hat on the market. Let it rain!
