SunBody Hats

SunBody's are a hot seller in the Canadian Winter

I talked with our wholesale customer Chelsea Cunningham of Double N Ranch in Sundre, Alberta, Canada the other day. That's about 300 miles north of Glacier National Park in Montana.

She had just gotten another shipment of SunBody hats to sell right NOW, not next spring.  She said she'll sell them right through the winter to the cowboys up there. It's going to get down to about 28 degrees F there tonight.

It just goes to show ya', SunBody palm-leaf hats are year-round hats. If there good for the cowboys in the winter in Alberta, where wouldn't they be good?

 

Reata Brannaman shows off her SunBody hat in “Buck”, the movie

 The recent release of the movie “Buck” has quite a few people wondering where Reata Brannaman has gotten her hat. After the movie was released in June of 2011 the phone calls started to pour in.

 The movie is a Sundance award-winning documentary about Buck Brannaman, a horse trainer in the tradition of the gentle methods used by Tom Dorrance and Ray Hunt.  Many find his manner and methods not only inspiring, but moving.

 Reata is Buck’s daughter, and travels with him to the horse clinics he gives around the country.  When people now see Reata, they see her fashion and style and can’t help but want that same look.

 Reata’s mother, Mary Brannaman, has been wearing our hats for years and started selling them in 2002 at the horse clinics.  Reata has now created her own business, Reata Ranchwear, selling SunBody hats and horse gear. 

 Working with Reata, we are happy to now offer the hat she wears and sells at the clinics.  Naturally, we call it “Reata”.  It is available in different brim widths and trim colors.

 We are honored that Reata likes our hats and that we are able to work with her and her family.

 If you haven’t seen the movie, check it out. It’s now available on DVD:
