Measure Your Head

Guatemalan Hats

The Guatemalan hat (most of the hats on our website) have a foam-padded cotton twill sweatband that tends to shrink about 1% with heat and moisture. This is about 1/2 of a hat size (1/16" diameter). If you are buying a GUATEMEALAN hat, we recommend buying a hat that is just a little bit loose to allow for this shrinkage. This usually means buying one size larger than you normally wear.

Mexican Hats

The Mexican palm leaf hats have an imitation leather sweatband that does not shrink and they tend to run a little large. On the Mexican hats you should buy your normal size.

To Determine Your Hat Size:

Measure around your head where you wear your hats in inches (circumference).

Big "Ol Gus

I purchased this big 'ol hat with a Gus crease a few months ago. 'Taint nobody with a hat like this in these parts! The 5" brim gives you all the protection you need, and I like the 6.5" crown with it. I had SunBody add a wide black brim, and I added a black and red 7-strand hatband from Knot-A-Tail. It's a great combo. The only issue I found is in sizing. I ordered my hat size, which is 7.5", and I had to add a little somethin' under the brim. I probably could've ordered a smaller size and been fine. Follow the directions on this website for shaping it. If it looses it's shape, wet it and do 'er again. The value that you get with SunBody hats is simply outstanding! You will be pleasantly surprised with this hat!

Love my hat!

No words to describe how good these hats look and feel. Not to mention critical protection from the sun. Wear it to the beach, walking, biking, sailing,etc. I have two...one for my New York residence and one for Florida.

No More Sunburned Ears

Hat looks and fits great. After having some sun spots removed from my ears my doctor told me to wear a bigger hat unless I planned on growing new ears. The 5" brim is perfect and it shades my face. Outstanding customer service too.
