Bailey Briar Safari Fedora (5/5) | Nov 5, 2007 | John R. Stummer | Eagle River Al US |
| I took this hat to Europe and back packed in a suitcase. It sprang right back to its original shape when unpacked. I wore it during a drenching rainstorm. It kept my head dry and warm, retained its shape and size, and stayed on in moderately strong wind. All in all, it's a great hat that does everything it's advertised to do, and I think it looks good too. | ||||

Solid and Comfortable (5/5) | Dec 4, 2007 | Philip Brautigam | Mount Vernon WA US |
| This hat is perfect for my winter trip to Egypt! A nice blend of casual and dramatic without being TOO much of a statement in a ball cap world. | ||||

Bailey Safari Fedora (4/5) | Dec 28, 2007 | Corinne Korbey | Lawrence MA US |
| Nice looking hat, but color not true as shown. I bought the "Mole" and expected an almost camel-colored hat ... but it was darker than expected. Also ran a little big for a medium sized hat. I may have to return it for an exchange. | ||||

Bailey delivers Comfort and Style (5/5) | Jan 9, 2008 | Jim Moran | Plantersville TE US |
| Just what I was looking for on those cold days on the golf course. Color "Mole" is considerably darker than expected. Although the color is a little darker than wanted its a great hat; very happy with the fit and style. Bailey makes a great hat! | ||||

The Briar (5/5) | Jan 17, 2008 | Jay Malette | Hudson NH US |
| I've had my eye on the Briar for a long time now. I finally just received my Loden Mix Briar fedora yesterday. It is a beautifully-made, rugged, sturdy hat and very comfortable. Not everyone has a green hat, and this being my favorite color, I wear it with pride. Based on other reviewers and my own experience though, I think all the hats displayed here are shown slightly ligher than the actual shades they come in. I personally love my hat as it came, but some previous customers sounded a tad disappointed when they bought the "Mole" hat, expecting it would be lighter. The Loden is the same case. It's more of a forest/olive color, so please take that into consideration when you buy any one of these Briar hats. I can't wait to get me another one. The Fall Brown is my next choice. I'm looking forward to submitting my picture of me in this hat to the Customer Gallery soon too. Might I add, the people here at VHS were extremely helpful in my purchase of this hat. I refuse to shop anywhere else as long as I can get what I want here. Thanks VillageHatShop! | ||||

Take it anywhere (5/5) | Jan 28, 2008 | Ken Forsch | Anaheim Ca US |
| Hat fits great. Ordered the Mole Color. The color is a little darker than I expected. The hat allows me to fold it up in my pocket when indoors. | ||||

What I was looking for (5/5) | Feb 10, 2008 | Mike T. | Memphis TN US |
| Great hat, like others have said the mole is much darker than the picture. This was fine to me as I was looking for a color darker than the pictured mole and the actual mole was perfect. I would like to thank the other reviewers for the heads up on the color. | ||||

Something Different (4/5) | Mar 6, 2008 | David A. Bretz | Evansville IN US |
| I have been wearing nothing but Tilley hats for several years now; although I don't think any hat will ever replace the my Tilley's the Briar is a very nice hat. I am glad I didn't read the reviews before I purchased the hat. I was hoping for a much lighter color than what the mole turned out to be but it has grown on me and I have worn it every day since I received it. | ||||

The 2nd Briar (5/5) | Mar 20, 2008 | Jay Malette | Hudson NH US |
| I loved this hat so much, I bought another. And here I am writing another review. I bought Fall Brown this time around and I couldn't be happier with the hat. It is a beautiful shade of brown (once again, ever so slightly darker than pictured, but I have no complaints about that). The hat is soft, yet sturdy. I cannot see this hat losing it's shape even if you drenched it. I'd buy the whole line at this point. You cannot go wrong with this hat. | ||||
