Bailey® of Hollywood

IN THE EARLY 20’S, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA’S ECONOMY WAS GROWING AT A BREAK- NECK PACE. LOS ANGELES-BASED FILM STUDIOS ACCOUNTED FOR NEARLY ONE-FIFTH OF CALIFORNIA’S ANNUAL MANUFACTURING BUSINESS, AND IT WAS THERE THAT GEORGE BAILEY WOULD START HIS BUSINESS IN 1922: THE BAILEY HAT COMPANY. HE CATERED DIRECTLY TO THE NEEDS OF THE ‘NEW WEST’, OUTFITTING SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RANCHERS, BUSINESSMEN, OIL TYCOONS AND, THE NEWEST SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION, MOVIE STARS, WITH ‘THE BEST HAT POSSIBLE’. GEORGE BAILEY UNDERSTOOD HOLLYWOOD’S LEADING MEN AS ARBITERS OF TASTE AND STYLE, AND FROM ITS VERY EARLY DAYS, BAILEY OF HOLLYWOOD WAS CHOSEN AS A REGULAR SUPPLIER TO THE HOLLYWOOD CINEMA INDUSTRY – WITH CUSTOMERS SUCH AS HUMPHREY BOGART, CARY GRANT, GARY COOPER OR BING COSBY. THROUGHOUT ITS 88-YEAR HISTORY, BAILEY OF HOLLYWOOD HAS EARNED AN EXCEPTIONAL REPUTATION BY CONTINUALLY PROVIDING ITS CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME UNPARALLELED QUALITY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP AS WELL AS SOPHISTICATED INDUSTRY-LEADING DESIGNS.
