Fantastic (5/5) Mar 24, 2010 Shane Copeland Valdosta GA US
  My first hat from villagehat but definetly not my last. Great hat.
Bailey Curtis is a gem! (5/5) Feb 19, 2012 Stanley Cooper cambria ca US
  I absolutely love this fedora. I have several other hats, and caps and berets (hay, I'm a hat guy) but this beauty is so much my favorite that my wife had to remind me to take it off in a restaurant tonight.

It feels like it belongs on my head, and I feel well turned out and dapper with it on. I bought a gray one and I also wish they made one that is a lighter gray, I'd buy that too. this hat is a fine quality for the $$$.
"I like your hat."... (5/5) Dec 28, 2007 Steve T. El Granada Ca US
  Even my 10-year old niece can appreciate the style of this hat (hence her endearing comment), but you have to put it on to enjoy its soft comfort. I did perform a bit of remodeling of the brim in back to induce a little more "upness" (easily done with a clothes steamer and some stuff to hold it in shape as it dried), ala the typical fedora of any noir film. As shipped it was just a tad too flat and in my eyes that makes it Western or outdoor-ish. I have a Stetson for that and wanted the Bailey to have a more urban look, which it now has, to my satisfaction.

  Only after having it for now over 3 years (see orig. review from 2007) can one begin to assess any hat's "life". Worn daily, my Curtis is living a strong and healthy one, still looking good-as-new and drawing compliments from total strangers (and it isn't just because of the little SF Giants pin on the band). I just can't imagine that any item of apparel could be more appreciated by others than this hat has been.
My bet: you get one, you'll soon see and hear what I mean.
awesome first hat experience (5/5) May 24, 2010 wm. christman san jose ca US
  the bailey curtis is my first ever (proper) hat. up to this point i didn't think any hat beyond a ball cap looked good on my head. as i open the box it came in, i was filled with trepidation at trying it on. but as soon as it was on my head, i realized that this was the hat for me - it looked SO good/classy/cool. i have received many compliments from friends and strangers alike about it. i'd buy another in a heartbeat.
A good hat (3/5) Mar 2, 2008 Zahrn Heath Melbourne Vi UK
  This is a good hat, but not as stylish as I thought.
I expected the hat to have more of an angle on the top of the hat, angling down more at the front.
It looks a little like a standard outback hat than a gangster hat (I'm an Aussie). I think I had this expectation from the angle the hat is pictured at on the site. The photo is takern from the hat's 'best angle'.
It would be good if you had more photos of each hat from different angles (eg, side front top view).
Still i'm happy with the hat. it is of good quality & reached me in good condition.
Now i'll just have to order another gangster hat for my collection. I'm thinking the Jaxon Bogart is next.
Hey you don't have Australia in your list of countries - what's with that.
I put down UK.
