The Bailey 1922 Altair Genuine Panama Fedora is a refined warm-weather hat handcrafted in Ecuador from 100% genuine Toquilla palm. Made using a traditional Brisa weave, the Altair combines lightweight construction, natural breathability and distinctive Bailey finishing details in a sophisticated fedora silhouette.
It features a 4-inch Grad crown with custom venting, helping improve airflow while adding a unique visual detail to the crown. The hat is paired with a versatile 2 1/2-inch snap brim, offering a balanced profile with enough width to provide practical sun coverage while retaining the classic proportions of a traditional Panama fedora.
Around the crown, the Altair is finished with a natural rope band accented by colourful tails and a coordinating crosspiece. This understated trim complements the natural character of the Toquilla palm and gives the hat a relaxed yet polished appearance.
Inside, a premium German sweatband provides enhanced comfort and a secure fit. The Altair is unlined, preserving the lightweight and breathable qualities expected from an authentic Panama hat.
Each Bailey 1922 Altair is hand-woven in Ecuador and finished in the USA using globally sourced materials, combining traditional Ecuadorian Panama hat craftsmanship with Bailey's signature finishing standards.

Authentic Ecuadorian Panama Hat
Despite the name, genuine Panama hats are traditionally made in Ecuador, where skilled artisans weave the fibres of the Toquilla palm into lightweight and highly distinctive hats.
The Bailey Altair continues this tradition using 100% Toquilla palm, giving it the natural texture, light weight and refined appearance associated with authentic Panama hats.
Its Brisa weave creates a consistent woven pattern across the body of the hat while maintaining the flexibility and breathability that make genuine Panama hats especially desirable for warm-weather wear.
Ventilated Grad Crown
The Altair's 4-inch Grad crown gives the hat a clean, structured profile while custom ventilation provides additional airflow through the crown.
This ventilated construction is particularly useful in warmer climates, making the Altair well suited to summer travel, outdoor occasions, resort wear and everyday use in hot weather.
2 1/2-Inch Snap Brim
A 2 1/2-inch snap brim gives the Altair a classic fedora proportion while allowing some flexibility in styling.
The front can be snapped down for a traditional fedora silhouette, while the overall brim width provides more coverage than narrower stingy-brim styles. This makes the Altair suitable for customers who want both refined styling and practical sun protection.
Natural Rope Band Detailing
Instead of a conventional grosgrain ribbon, Bailey finishes the Altair with a natural rope band that complements the organic appearance of the Toquilla palm.
Colourful accent tails and a crosspiece introduce a subtle point of contrast, giving the hat a distinctive personality without compromising its sophisticated appearance.
Premium Comfort and Fit
The interior is fitted with a German sweatband, selected to provide a comfortable and secure fit around the head. Combined with the unlined interior and lightweight Panama construction, this makes the Altair particularly comfortable for extended wear.
A Refined Genuine Panama Fedora
The Bailey 1922 Altair Panama Hat pairs naturally with linen shirts, polos, lightweight tailoring, chinos, resort wear and elevated casual outfits. Its neutral Panama construction and subtle rope detailing make it versatile enough for holidays, weddings, outdoor events, travel and everyday warm-weather dressing.
For customers searching for a genuine Panama hat, Bailey Panama fedora, men's Toquilla palm hat, Ecuadorian Panama hat, Brisa weave Panama, ventilated Panama hat or a premium summer fedora for men, the Bailey 1922 Altair offers an authentic combination of traditional craftsmanship, comfort and timeless style.

How to Measure for a Perfect Fit
How to Measure Your Head
Use a soft tape measure. Wrap it around your head about 1cm above your ears and across the mid-forehead. Don't pull too tightly. If your measurement is between sizes, round up to the nearest centimeter.
How to Measure Your Chest/Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your chest or bust, keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor.
How to Measure Your Waist
Measure around your natural waistline, which is typically the narrowest part of your torso.
How to Measure Your Hips
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips, ensuring the tape goes over your buttocks.
Important Sizing Notes
Brand Variations
Please be aware that sizes can vary between manufacturers, especially for our motorsport team apparel and footwear. Our charts are a strong guide, but we recommend checking product descriptions for any brand-specific fit notes.
"One Size Fits Most" (OSFM)
Some caps are adjustable (OSFM). These generally fit head circumferences from 54cm to 62cm (US Size 6 3/4 to 7 3/4). This provides flexibility, but for a precise fit, we recommend a sized hat.
