Why Working Cowboys Love
Sunbody Hats
If
you need a work hat that looks good, too, this is it. You can
wear it in the sun, you can wear it in the rain. Your horse can
step on it and it'll just pop back out to its original shape.
You can get it muddy and wash it clean with soap, water and a
brush.
These hats will outlast a straw hat several times over.
Many Western straw hats on the market are made from paper.
That's why they need several layers of lacquer to get them to
hold their shape. And once they're shaped, that's it. If they
get crushed they're ruined. If they get wet, they become a
soggy, limp rag.
But SunBody Palm-Leaf Hats are made to wear, to get wet, to
be reshaped as often as you like. Working Cowboys and everyday
folks like 'em because they last so long and can take so much
abuse. So what if your horse steps on it? You can just pop it
back out to shape. So what if it rains? It'll just soak up water
until it gets stiff and shed the rest. And it'll keep it's shape
until you're ready to re-shape it.
And reshaping is no problem. Since they aren't coated with
lacquer, you don't need a steamer to shape them. All you need is
plain water. Just hold them under the tap or dip them in the
horse trough and shape them with your hands. It's so easy even a
child can do it.
You can reshape them as often as you like, flattening out the
brim to shield you from the sun or giving it a nice curve for
the Saturday night dance.
