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

I really enjoy wearing hats. I always have even since I was a little kid. They keep the sun off my head and out of my eyes. They keep my head warm in the cold winter months. They even help me stay in style! Bailey's Lanolux hat produced by Bollman Hat Company actually helps me achieve all three of these things! The hat is made of 100% virgin wool with a sueded finish. This keeps my head nice and warm, and it also looks pretty snazzy too! I really love the gray color and the black band. It goes well with so many things I already have in my wardrobe. Ever since I got it, I don't want to take it off! I've even gotten compliments from passersby on the street! Another great thing about this hat is that it was made in the USA. Bollman Hat Company is located in Adamstown, Pennsylvania, they are owned by their employees, and they are clearly committed to the highest quality products. I love my new hat, and I am looking forward to wearing it out on my next night on the town!
