Frequently Asked Questions about Bailey 1922: Gus Crown

What is the Gus crown style?

The Gus crown is a named Western inspired crown style. On the Bailey 1922 Duman it measures 4 inches and is paired with a 3 inch flat brim. Check the product photos to see the full profile.

How does the Duman's Gus crown differ from other western crowns?

The Gus is its own crown shape with a different profile, rather than a standard crease. Compare photos of the Duman with the cattleman and telescope pages to see the contrast in height and shape.

What is the Duman made of?

It has Bailey's proprietary Elite Stiffened Finish, a Japanese grosgrain band and a signature vintage flooring nail. It is fully lined with a finely woven sweatband, and it is made in the USA.

What does a stiff flat brim do for the look?

A flat brim that stays stiff gives a clean, structured line and consistent shade. It also keeps the hat looking sharp, though it should be stored carefully so the brim does not bend.

Is a Gus crown hat best for a particular season?

Because it is a stiffened, felt style, it is best for cooler months, from fall into spring. Choose a straw or lightweight style when temperatures climb.
