In 1922, George S. Bailey founded the Bailey Hat Company in Los Angeles, California. Bailey saw the emerging need for a hat company that catered to the Western market. The American West was booming and Los Angeles was leading the charge.
He catered directly to the needs of the “New West” by outfitting Southern California ranchers, businessmen, oil tycoons and movie stars with the “best hat possible.” His dedication to his craft quickly made the Bailey name known throughout L.A.
Many of Bailey’s current offerings still use the same blocks as they did when originally designed for the West over 90 years ago. Bailey remains a collection of original and authentic Western head wear with an eye for industry leading product.
