A Must Have! (5/5) May 6, 2008 Michael North Tonawanda Ne US
  I just received this hat today, and I have to say.. I LOVE it. I'm a huge hat fan, but don't like wearing baseball caps. I had been looking for fedora styles that were casual enough to wear everyday... and wouldn't look out of place with shorts. This one was it! It's so lightweight and comfortable!! The weave is soft and flexible.. perfect for the summer.
Yellow, but good. (5/5) May 1, 2009 Hank Landry Easthampton Ma US
  The material and dimensions of this hat are as close to perfect as your going to find. Just be warned that the "natural-multi" is a yellow hat. Not beige or tan or light brown. It's bright yellow with little streaks of black. The web image of this color is not accurate.

  I really enjoy the Bailey Mannes Fedora hats especially the Mannes style it is now a must for my waredrobe at least two times or more a week. You must make this style in more colors and any new colors that you make I will buy one of every color, I PROMISE. Please e-mail me whenever a new style or color comes out.
one of my favorites (5/5) Jun 23, 2010 Julia U. MA US
  Its 3 1/2" crown height is shorter than most other stingy-brims, which allows it to look great on someone with a small head. As anyone who requires an "extra-small" hat knows, fedoras with a higher crown ride too low, like you're trying too hard to look "hip-ly" aloof.
On a functional note, the polypropylene weave keeps it cool enough to use in summer.
This hat is spot on in balance between crown height, brim and circumference. I have a large hat collection and this is the only one that garners a compliment *every* time I wear it.
One of the best (5/5) Jul 16, 2010 Gilbert M Pacheco Albuquerque Ne US
  I love my Bailey Manners Fedora its very well constructed and woven very sternly, just enough so that it is not to soft and yet, you can feel a cool breeze. The style is fantastic. Although I have a few hats Bailey Mannnes Fedora is one of my favorits
Classic and Modern Hat with Style and Grace (5/5) Aug 24, 2010 HHCassius Atlanta Ge US
  It makes sense for the brown version, which is really black/brown/white, to be the displayed version, as it's quite versatile.

On a personal note, finding a hat that will fit a long-oval head in combination with a relatively long face, I couldn't have been more pleased with the Bailey Mannes, which I picked up when I was in Long Beach back in June. I've found balancing the dimensions of your head, weight, height, and perceived youth to be a complicated calculation, after months slowly getting into buying a proper hat. This hat was well up to the task, and I'm guessing if you're not up north somewhere, finding another store with such a selection both online and in a brick-and-mortar could be a futile enterprise.
My Favorite (5/5) Mar 17, 2011 Josh Certain Little Rock Ar
  This is my favorite hat. It is SO comfortable in the hot Arkansas summer. The summer weave material is light and cool, the wind comes right though, but the sun is kept off. I bought an olive one and loved it so much I bought a grey one too.

I now have something to look forward to in our hot muggy arkansas days. Looking Dang good in my Bailey Fedora. :D
Awesome hat! (5/5) Aug 16, 2011 Ken Mobile Al US
  I bought this hat in 4 different colors. Nice to wear with casual or formal gear. It's also crushable which is handy if you have to travel a lot for business like I do.
Great Style For A Plastic Hat (3/5) Feb 22, 2010 RLF Williamsburg Vi US
  I bought this hat because I liked the styling. It is a very cool hat with sharp colors and the stingy brim is very contemporary. But, I was surprised to learn that this is NOT a straw hat. It's made out of polypropylene! That's right, it's the same plastic used in food containers,shampoo bottles,toys, etc. I'm not sure how I feel about this. My biggest concern is the summer heat. I live in the South and I wanted a straw hat for those sultry, sticky days of July and August. I have no idea how a plastic hat will feel on a 90F day, but I have my doubts that it will be very pleasant.
