My Favorite Hat

So, this is my signature hat. I am a female fishing guide and it took me a long time to find the right hat. The Vivian is THAT hat. I am hard on my hats, so I'll say I go through one of these hats every 2-3 years.  Things I love about this hat: The floppiness protects my face and neck from the sun, it's stylish and feminine, I can tighten the stampede strap when the wind kicks up.  Things I don't love: The stampede strap is leather and wears out over time. The bead wears the strap out and Sunday Afternoon have replaced the hat for me because of this, but with my last one, I ended up repairing it myself with a much stronger material. Also, when the hat gets a little wet, it smells like a horse.

Women have large heads, too!

A super stylish hat that I was thrilled to add to my chapeau repertoire. Imagine my chagrin when, like so many before it, I brought it to rest upon my noggin only to find that it was not up to the task of containing the girth of the substantial melon north of my shoulders. I am hoping that in time the felt may mold to my dome, but alas, thus far it just ejects itself from my head like so many broken dreams tossed asunder. Sunday afternoons, I implore: women with large heads enjoy fashion, too! Please offer aesthetically pleasing hats in larger sizes!

Exactly what I wanted.

I'd been scouring the internet in search of a hat like Stephenie LaGrossa's in Survivor: Guatemala. Opted for grey in lieu of brown and couldn't be more pleased!

Great sun hat for winter

This is my winter sun hat. I use it in combination with lightweight ear warmers. It's adorable, warm and protects me from the winter sun.

walk in the park hat

More of a floppy hat then a hiking but very cute. The color is beautiful too.

Way too floppy

I've purchased many hats from this company over the years and usually love them. But this hat is so flimsy that the brim is constantly falling in my face and has no body. I contacted them and they refused to let me return it. I have the Taylor hat which I love but it doesn't have a chin strap for windy days so I bought this hat, but I really don't like it. I'm disappointed in it.

Great hat, great shopping experience

Stylish and keeps my face completely protected from the sun. Exactly what I was looking for. I bought two hats, which were packed together with care. They arrived in perfect shape. First time ordering from this company and I will definitely be back and recommend to my friends.

This hat has it all

I really love this hat even more than I thought I might. It truly has a 4" brim, which in New Mexico is required for adequate sun protection when sensitive skin is involved. But the best part is how fun it is to wear. I feel fun and elegant wearing it for dog walks and by-passers in cars always smile and wave! I love the color, and I love the chin string to keep the hat on no matter the breeze!
