SunBody Hats
SunBody Hats: the leader in palm-leaf hats since 1996. We have solid bodied hats and VENTED CROWNS. Consequently, we get the best hats.
We have:
-The Most Styles: We have twelve open crown hats, ranging from a 3" brim width, from a 4" crown to an 8" crown, including three Guatemalan Fine Palms. We can custom crease any hat for a nominal charge, with a Cattleman, Gus, Gambler, Tycoon, Montana Peak, or you-name-it crease. We have both the Guatemalan palms you can get wet and shape, and the Fine Mexican Palms.

Not your typical ranch day…
But one thing stays the same — a good hat goes anywhere.
Where are you headed in this outfit?

This is Lupita shaping a Gus hat. She has been with SunBody Hats for 15 years and is responsible for many of the finishing touches that bring each hat to completion. Her favorite part of the process is working on the lacing and hatbands, where she adds the final details that give each hat its character.
Lupita has also spent the past 15 years shaping hats by hand. When asked about shaping the Gus hat, she explained that it takes patience — making sure the hat is perfectly centered, the eye indentations are balanced, and the pencil roll on the brim is formed just right.
She hopes that when customers receive a hat shaped by her, they feel satisfied and that the hat feels perfect from the moment they put it on.
Although she shapes many hats in the same style, Lupita says each one is unique in its own way — because every hat is made and shaped by hand.

Happy first day of Spring, y’all! 🌷☀️
It’s finally here—the sun is staying out longer and the weather is starting to turn that beautiful spring corner. We know many of you are dusting off your favorite SunBody for the new season, and honestly, we just love seeing them out in the
Whether it's a hat that's been your "old friend" for 25 years or a brand new one you're just starting to break in, every SunBody tells a story. One of our favorite things is seeing how you make these hats your own. Since our palm leaf is so easy to shape with just a little water, no two hats ever look quite the same after they’ve spent some time with you.
Show us your look! 📸
We’re always inspired by the custom creases you come up with—from a subtle pinch to those bold, dramatic folds. If you’ve got your hat on today, drop a photo in the comments or tag us! We’d love to see how you're stepping into spring.
A quick tip for the sunny days ahead: If your hat needs a little "refresh" for the new season, just give it a quick soak or spray it down with water to reshape the brim or crown exactly how you like it. It’ll be ready to block 98% of those UV rays while you're out enjoying the weather.
Thanks for being part of the SunBody family. See you out in the shade! 😎

It struck me the other day as sweat was running into my eyes. I didn't know if anyone ever told you how your hats hold up...
This one pictured here has some age on it. It started out when I had a custom leather shop back on the last ranch (12,500 acres) I rode for back in Colorado.
I bought a bunch then to sell along with the Holster rigs and other pieces I built for Cowboy Action Shoots.
I don't remember the exact year, '97 or 98' maybe? Only thing I do know is I was still on that ranch and didn't leave there until 2000... so... this particular Palm leaf is 25+ years old.
Worn it every summer since then trading out for felt in the fall. Soaking the crown to cool my brain pan on hot days... Shading my skull building fence.
Now finally it's showing its age. There's a split that's come along in the brim and a hole in the crown. Not bad at all! Seems like maybe people might think one is expensive... not if you figure it on how it becomes an old friend!
Just wanted the folks building these to know they do good work.
