Baileyof Hollywood Gangster Fedora Black, Medium

Hat was hard as a rock on the inside.

Decent quality but not on par with akubra or Stetson

Arrived in perfect condition and fit perfect. I wear it a lot. thank you.

This is a nicer hat than I expected. I wanted a hat that I can wear everyday, and I wanted a basic, "typical " fedora. (My bowler is more formal, of course for more formal occasions.) I had an inexpensive (sort-of) fedora that eventually fell apart, maybe from almost continual use, and I wanted an adequate replacement. I am almost afraid to wear this hat daily since it is better quality than my last hat. Nevertheless, I have begun wearing it all the time, so I'll see how it holds up through much wear and weather.When it arrived, the brim was curled up all the way around. I didn't realize that this would be the case. I had to flip the front edge down. This warps the hat very slightly, making it slightly longer than before because of the stiffness of the material. I wonder if as time goes on, the structure might relax, and look and feel more "standard."In any event, I also would like to know what I might do to preserve the hat against rain and sweat. I heard once that one can use scotchgard to protect the material; but when I tried it, it ruined a hat (that I had from a few years ago). Without some kind of protection, I wonder how long this hat will last. If it can hold up for at least two years, I will be satisfied. But if I could keep this hat for much longer, I would be happier.

its a fine quality hat I would buy it all over again

Great hat made in the USA !

My father absolutely loves this hat
