Bailey 1922: Flat Top Crown

A flat top crown creates a strong horizontal line across the top of the hat rather than a rounded or deeply creased profile. The result is a bold, architectural silhouette that can range from vintage-inspired to distinctly modern. Flat top crowns pair especially well with structured materials and clean, carefully proportioned brims.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bailey 1922: Flat Top Crown

What is a flat top crown?

A flat top crown has a level top rather than creases or a dome. The Bolero has a 4 inch flat top crown, and the Ice is a related vintage tall crown style at 5 inches.

How do the Bolero and Ice differ?

The Bolero has a 4 inch flat top crown with a 3 inch bound flat brim, while the Ice has a taller 5 inch crown with a 2 1/8 inch roll brim with bound edge, so it looks more dramatic.

What are the Bolero and Ice made of?

Both are made from wool felt. The Bolero is hand crafted in the USA and lined in satin with a Dri-Lex sweatband. The Ice has a grosgrain bow, removable feather and Comfort sweatband.

What kind of outfit suits a flat top hat?

The structured shape pairs well with tailored jackets, dark denim or smart casual outfits. The Ice, with its tall crown and feather, makes more of a style statement than the Bolero.

Is a flat top hat comfortable for everyday wear?

Both are fully lined, which adds comfort. As wool felt hats they suit cooler weather best, and a taller crown like the Ice will feel different on the head than the Bolero.
