KEEPING AMERICA ON TOP: WHOM YOU KNOW CELEBRATES AMERICAN STYLE INTELLIGENCE and EXCELLENCE WITH BAILEY OF HOLLYWOOD: Bailey of Hollywood Devi Cap Recommended by Whom You Know


What could be better than getting the look and feel of cashmere without the price tag by a brand that is Made in America!!!  Whom You Know is pleased to continue our series of KEEPING AMERICA ON TOP: WHOM YOU KNOW CELEBRATES AMERICAN STYLE INTELLIGENCE and EXCELLENCE with our inaugural post on Bailey of Hollywood made by Bollman Hats.  We love the Devi Cap in black for the cold season that's now here, and in our opinion, this is unisex. Made from their unique Cashlux® line, the Bailey of Hollywood Devi is a classic ascot cap with an engaging inner crown "Cowgirl" logo print lining in lavish satin. This particular hat is molded for a sophisticated look and we think it is more New York than Hollywood, but wherever you are wearing it, you can be sure to look sharp.  It works with jeans and a blazer as well as a short skirt and sweet boots and will keep your head warm!  Founded in 1922, Bailey has a history of being impressive in topping it off and we can't wait to see what they do to celebrate their 90th year.  Bailey Cashlux® hats are made with the finest grade cashmere and wool blend, and the soft and durable Devi is their capwear offering in this material.  Whom You Know recommends the Devi Cap by Bailey of Hollywood by the Bollman Hat Company, and we are absolutely thrilled to find this kind of quality made in the USA.
