THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION

Oh no another association I feel a compulsion to join It looks like I'll be investing in a Sunbody or two this summer.

 

Does this count?



Gus from MajorMoore, not sure if it is Sunbody or not.

 

I like the looks of that Sunbody fedora. It looks like the perfect straw for taking walks on those hot, sunny days. Of course, that's a few months away now, but I'll be keeping tabs on this thread. Thanks for the info.

 

Here is mine. Great hat!! I wear it in the summer around the farm.

 

and here I'm watching a couple of Sunbody's on the bay right now...Alot of the guys in SASS around here wear them during the hot months....

 

You know, if they made something with a narrower brim, I'd be tempted to join the club. 3"+ just don't work for me, even in the sun. [huh]

 

Well, that's interesting, RBH! I'll have to keep that in mind come spring! I want one more straw in my collection, and there is also one I might need to replace mid-season. :cool2:

 

What model is this hat Spencer, or did you shape it yourself? That would be just perfect for me for my summer work hat.

 

I like the look of that one, Spencer.

I have this one on order:

I called on Dec. 23 or 24, and Jimmy told me they were about to close for the holidays but that they'd get on it as soon as they got back to work on 1/5. He's a nice guy to talk to and very accommodating. He said I should have my hat in plenty of time for our little trip to the Dominican Republic at the end of January.

I'll post some better pictures when I get it, but I thought that 3 inch flat brim would make a pretty good sun hat. I also asked him to change to band to a four or five strand horsehair band with no tassels which he agreed to do for no extra money.

 

BobC I like the looks of the one you have on order.

Nigel,

The one I bought is here: http://www.jhhatco.com/jh.nsf/product2!open&model=SUBDGUS3

The Gus with 3" brim. The hatband is one I bought years ago. It is a braided band with horsehair tassle. It has a metal clip that prevents the band from opening up and falling off and it is rusted and pitted from the sweat so when ordering a hat band, keep that in mind.

 

Okay, somebody enlighten me. This is the first I've heard of Sunbody Hats. Is this a company, type of hat, made from a certain material or what? I've followed the links and they do look nice.

Thanks,
rrog

 

SALE

Go to their website and click on the "What's On Sale" link. The teardrop fedora is now $36.00. It is a backorder item but summer is a ways off here in the lower 48.

 

love the crazy gus

rbh, how does the sizing run on the crazy gus? large? small? also, are yours in the 3.5 or 4 inch brim width? that would be the perfect hat for workin on the sailboat... also, how do you feel they compare to the shady brady offerings?

 

Don't know if it's a sunbody or not, but it'll sure keep the sun off of even those shoulders.....

 

Those aren't brims, they are dance floors!!
