Frequently Asked Questions about Bailey 1922: Snap Brims

What is a snap brim?

A snap brim is a flexible brim that can be turned up or down at the front. It lets you change the hat's look and shade, which is why it is a popular fedora style.

Should I wear a snap brim up or down?

Wear it down for more shade and a classic, shadowed look. Wear it up for a more open, casual appearance. The brim width, which here runs from about 1 5/8 to 3 inches, also affects the look.

Are snap brim hats the same as fedoras?

Snap brim describes the brim style, not the whole hat. Almost all hats in this collection are fedoras, so the terms overlap, but the snap brim is the detail that makes the brim adjustable.

Which snap brim materials suit which season?

You will find wool felt, LiteFelt, straw and Genuine Panama. Felt suits cooler weather, while straw and Panama suit warm weather, so choose the material based on when you will wear the hat.

Can I wear a snap brim hat in the rain?

Many hats in this collection are described as water repellent, including LiteFelt styles. Water repellent is not waterproof, so check the listing and let a damp hat dry naturally away from heat.
