The Bailey 1922 Relik LiteStraw® Fedora is a refined warm-weather fedora designed to deliver lightweight comfort, dependable shape retention and practical protection from the elements. Handcrafted in the USA using globally sourced materials, the Relik combines traditional fedora styling with Bailey’s proprietary LiteStraw® finish for enhanced durability and performance.

Constructed from 100% Shantung LiteStraw®, the Relik features a 4-inch Grad crown and a versatile 2 7/8-inch snap brim, creating a balanced medium-brim silhouette that works equally well for everyday wear, travel and more polished summer occasions.

The crown is finished with a classic Japanese grosgrain ribbon accented by a piped edge, while a fine woven sweatband improves comfort during warmer conditions. The hat is left unlined to maintain its lightweight and breathable feel.

Its LiteStraw® treatment gives the Shantung body a supple finish while also providing water-repellent properties and improved shape retention, making the Relik a particularly practical choice for spring and summer wear.

Premium Shantung LiteStraw® Construction

The Relik is made from Shantung straw, a high-performance material created from paper that is rolled into a fine yarn and then woven into a lightweight yet strong hat body.

This method produces an exceptionally refined weave with a clean, sophisticated appearance while keeping overall weight low.

Bailey enhances the Shantung construction with its proprietary LiteStraw® finish, designed to give the hat a softer, more supple feel while helping it resist moisture and maintain its original shape.

Water-Repellent LiteStraw® Finish

One of the defining advantages of the Bailey Relik is its water-repellent LiteStraw® treatment.

While traditional straw hats can be sensitive to moisture, the LiteStraw® finish provides additional protection against light exposure to water while also improving structural resilience.

The treatment also contributes to enhanced shape retention, helping the crown and brim maintain their intended profile during regular use.

Classic 4-Inch Grad Crown

The Relik features a 4-inch Grad crown, giving the hat a clean and understated fedora silhouette.

Its moderate crown height creates enough presence to maintain the classic proportions of a traditional fedora without feeling overly tall or formal.

The Grad profile works particularly well with the medium-width brim, resulting in a balanced shape suitable for both casual and sophisticated styling.

Versatile 2 7/8-Inch Snap Brim

A 2 7/8-inch snap brim provides more coverage than a narrow or stingy-brim fedora while remaining compact enough for everyday wear.

The snap construction allows the front of the brim to be styled down for a traditional fedora look, adding versatility to how the hat is worn.

Its medium width also offers useful shade from the sun, making the Relik particularly appropriate for spring and summer conditions.

Japanese Grosgrain Ribbon Detailing

The crown is finished with a sophisticated Japanese grosgrain ribbon featuring a piped edge.

This subtle trim provides a refined contrast against the finely woven Shantung body while maintaining the clean, timeless appearance associated with Bailey 1922 fedoras.

Rather than relying on bold decorative elements, the Relik uses texture and precise detailing to create a more understated premium finish.

Lightweight Summer Comfort

The Relik is unlined, helping preserve the lightweight and breathable qualities of its Shantung construction.

A fine woven sweatband provides additional comfort around the interior of the crown, making the hat more suitable for extended wear in warmer weather.

Combined with the lightweight straw body and medium brim, the Relik is an excellent option for summer travel, outdoor events and everyday use.

Handcrafted in the USA

The Bailey 1922 Relik is handcrafted in the United States using globally sourced materials, bringing together Bailey’s traditional hat-making expertise with modern performance materials.

The result is a premium straw fedora that retains the elegance of classic men's headwear while introducing practical benefits such as water repellency and improved shape retention.

Refined Spring and Summer Style

The Bailey Relik pairs naturally with linen shirts, polos, lightweight suits, blazers, chinos, denim and resort wear.

Its clean fedora silhouette makes it suitable for weddings, holidays, outdoor events, travel, smart-casual occasions and everyday warm-weather dressing.
