The Bailey Salem Fedora Hat is a proven Bailey classic, combining traditional fedora styling with lightweight Toyo braid construction and a refined contemporary finish. Designed with a 4-inch Center Dent crown and a versatile 2-inch snap brim, the Salem offers a clean, well-balanced silhouette that works equally well with casual, smart-casual and warm-weather outfits. Its neutral colour palette makes the hat easy to coordinate, while the custom pop-colour striped grosgrain band introduces a distinctive accent around the crown. This subtle contrast gives the Salem added character without taking away from its timeless fedora profile. Made from a blend of 55% paper straw and 45% polyester, the braided construction provides texture, structure and a lightweight feel. The hat is left unlined for a less bulky interior and is finished with Bailey’s Comfort sweatband for improved comfort during extended wear. Available in sizes up to XL, the Bailey Salem is an excellent option for customers looking for a classic braided fedora with practical proportions, comfortable construction and signature Bailey detailing.

At 4 inches high, the crown provides enough definition to give the hat presence while maintaining an easy-to-wear profile. It is paired with a 2-inch snap brim, giving the wearer greater flexibility in how the hat is styled. The brim can be worn with the front snapped down for a more traditional fedora appearance or adjusted to create a slightly different silhouette. Lightweight Toyo Braid Construction Crafted from 55% paper straw and 45% polyester, the Salem uses Toyo-style braided construction to create a textured, lightweight hat suitable for warmer conditions. The combination of paper straw and polyester helps give the hat its structured shape while maintaining the distinctive woven appearance associated with braided summer fedoras. Its unlined interior keeps the construction relatively light and straightforward, making the Salem a practical choice for everyday wear, travel and warmer climates. Signature Grosgrain Band A Japanese grosgrain band wraps around the Center Dent crown and features custom striped detailing with a subtle pop of colour. Against the hat's otherwise neutral palette, the band provides a refined visual accent that distinguishes the Salem from a basic straw fedora. The detailing remains understated enough for the hat to pair easily with a wide range of colours and wardrobe styles. Comfortable Everyday Fedora Inside, Bailey finishes the Salem with a Comfort sweatband, adding a softer contact point around the interior of the crown and helping make the hat more comfortable for longer periods of wear. Its combination of a moderate 2-inch brim, lightweight braided material and classic Center Dent shape makes the Salem particularly versatile. It can be paired with linen shirts, polos, T-shirts, lightweight jackets, chinos, denim and other relaxed or polished casual outfits. For customers searching for a Bailey fedora hat, men's straw fedora, Toyo braid fedora, Center Dent hat, snap brim fedora or a lightweight summer fedora for men, the Bailey Salem offers a timeless design backed by distinctive Bailey craftsmanship and styling.
