Bailey 1922: Outback Crown

Outback crown hats take inspiration from rugged outdoor headwear, pairing a substantial crown with practical, balanced proportions. The shape often incorporates defined creasing or front shaping while retaining a relaxed character. Combined with medium or wide brims, an Outback crown can give a hat an adventurous look without feeling strictly Western.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bailey 1922: Outback Crown

What is an outback crown hat meant for?

Outback styles are built for outdoor wear. The Luz, for example, has an Outback crown with a 3 1/2 inch brim in LiteFelt®, and is described as offering comfort in rugged weather.

Do all the outback hats have the same crown?

No. Besides the Outback crown on the Luz, you will see a safari crease on the Dalton and Ian, a low teardrop on the Thaler, a pinch front on the Ore and a telescope side crease on the Dayton.

Are outback hats water repellent?

Several are. The Ore, Derian and Dayton use the Raindura® finish, which is water repellent, and Luz is made of LiteFelt®. Water repellent helps in light rain, but it is not waterproof.

What brim size should I look for?

Outdoor styles here have 3 inch to 3 1/2 inch brims, such as the Thaler at 3 inches, the Ore and Dayton at 3 1/4 inches and the Luz at 3 1/2 inches. A wider brim gives more sun and rain cover.

How do I decide between a LiteFelt® and a Raindura® hat?

LiteFelt® is a lightweight wool felt, while Raindura® is a paper straw hat body finished for water repellency and shape retention. The Raindura® styles are generally lighter for warmer weather.
