Bailey of Hollywood Men's Billy Fedora with Teardrop Crown

As others have stated, this hat runs big. I fall in between medium and large (22 3/8 in.) according to Amazon's sizing chart. I'm closer to the medium size, but nothing is worse in a hat than being too tight, so I opted for the large.When they say large they mean it. I put the hat on out of the box and I might as well have tried wearing a hoolahoop on my head. However, having anticipated this, I purchased a large roll of foam filler adhesive tap. I ended up putting a full ring around the rim of the hat inside the inner hat-band and the hat fits perfectly. You can't tell the tape is there, and I'm betting on the added bonus of the foam's absorptive properties for the hot summer. The hat company even provided a foam filler with the hat without my asking, so that was a bonus, but I'm still glad I bought the extra tape because I needed a little more than was provided with the hat.So, here's the short version:- the hat looks dynamite--the birch is beautiful- this hat runs large--if you're not sure about the fit, get some foam filler for the inner bandAll in all, I'm very satisfied. I've been looking for a hat just like this for a year, and now I'm pleased to have found it.

I had previously purchased another Bailey of Hollywood style polypropylene hat from Village hat shop and was happy with it. I knew I needed to get another one a different color and I had read a lot about the slightly softer feel of this "Billy" braided straw version hat.I was not disappointed I like it better than my original Mannes style that I purchased. It is slightly softer than the Mannes style which is a little stiffer of a hat.this is a great go-to hat whether you're trying to dress it up or dress it down it goes with pretty much anything as I purchase black and that usually will go with almost anything. I was happy with the quality happy with the sizing period the only disappointing thing was the way it was shipped crumpled up in a bag which I understand for shipping purposes makes sense but not when it's a hat -this I would believe falls on Amazon and not the seller however.Love the hat, would definitely purchase again and am looking at purchasing another in another color. Highly recommended.

Perfect hat for every wardrobe

What can I say i am a Bailey hat guy. I love these because you can fold them in your suitcase. When I am out of town for a few days I bring a few hats.

This is the first review I've ever written. I've been looking for a "go to" hat for quite some time. So much so that I've started wearing newsboys pretty much whenever I go out. Nothing against newsboys but I love this hat. Perfect fit, look, feel, everything. Trying not to go crazy and order a bunch more.

Very Nice and Very Well Made!

Brought for gifts for my husband and he loved it, perfectly fit

My hat was all smashed...and l need to learn how to send it back because l am very disappointed
