Bailey of Hollywood Men's Waits

Excellent straw hat. Good fit, like the style.

I love this hat, this is my second one. The softer braided material (compared to hard straw) holds its shape and bounces back well. Once straw bends at all out of shape it's pretty much ruined but not with this material. I have dreadlocks so it's hard to find a hat that fits well and looks good especially since I have a wider square shaped face, this hat being a softer material fits comfterably and it has a wider top so it doesnt accentuate the square face like narrower hats do. I wore my old one about 50% of the time for 2.5 years, it had been through hell and back. I've accidentally sleeped on it multiple times, I've worked in the sun wearing it, it's gotten wet, I've even hand washed it twice with soap and water and it's held up very well but it was definetly time to get a new one. This hat was exactly what I was expecting and the shipping was way ahead of schedule so I couldnt be happier.

I own four Bailey hats--three fedoras and this one. My hat size is 6 7/8 which is the upper limit of Bailey's "small." I consider Bailey's sizing reliable enough that when my local haberdasher did not have this hat, I was willing to order a small online, even though 6 7/8 is at the high end of the "small" range. Hat fits perfectly. Love rocking' the Waits hat for real.My hat was a tiny bit rumpled in shipping--big box, lots of plastic bubble all thrown in at random. A steaming teapot and some fiddling and I was good, but I suppose I would be highly reluctant to order, say, a Panama hat or other formed hat from this vendor.

Great hat. Numerous compliments and it fits true to size

This is a great hat with a real sweat band not one of those elastic one size deals. It cost a bit more but is well woven and tight on the straw. It is heavier than the cheap department store fashion hats. I love it!

I have a large head, and too many hats that say XXL really aren't. This fits very comfortably. The quality and appearance are great as well. I may never take this hat off :-)

Nice, and fits great! I have heard many good things about Bailey's hats. Most importantly, I hear that their sizes run very true, so any medium should have the same fit. I tried on this hat in a store, but they didn't have the color I wanted so I found the size that fit best and ordered it from here instead. I have ordered two Bailey's hats and they both fit great/the same.Try on in a store if you can, but if you know your size in a Bailey's, you can probably order with confidence.

I absolutely love this hat! I had bought one before in the blue color so I knew that it would fit great. When you first put them on it fits a little snug but not overly so. Then after wearing it one time it stretches out nicely to fit your head yet still is on good enough to not be blown away by the wind
