Bailey 1922: Derby Crown

The derby crown is known for its smooth, rounded dome rather than the creases and pinches found on many fedora styles. Closely associated with classic bowler and derby hats, the shape has a polished, unmistakably traditional look. Rolled brims, structured felt, and refined trim can further emphasize its heritage-inspired character.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bailey 1922: Derby Crown

What defines a derby crown?

A derby crown is a rounded, domed crown without a center crease or pinches. The Nomad and Quil both have a 4 1/2 inch round crown, and the Harker is described as a vintage derby crown.

How is a derby crown different from a fedora crown?

A fedora crown usually has a center crease and pinched front, while a derby is smoothly rounded. That makes the derby look more vintage and compact on the head.

What materials can I find in the derby collection?

The collection includes polished stiffened wool felt on the Harker, wool felt on the Charm, and a genuine Panama on the Saro. Quil is described as water resistant, stain repellent and shape retentive.

What brim styles go with a derby crown?

Brims vary from rolled with bound edge on the Derby and Harker, to 3 inch bound flat brim on the Charm, 2 7/8 inch on the Saro and Quil, and 2 1/2 inch on the Nomad.

Can I reshape a derby hat?

The Nomad has a Moldable Finish that allows custom self styling. For the others, check each product description, since stiffened finishes are meant to hold their shape.
