    THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION

    Well, silly me. I don't even know how I came across Sunbody Hats and went ahead and ordered one. Only now do I find there's a whole subforum here dedicated to them! Well, they just sent me a message confirming shipment, so it should be here in a few days...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Whew! You may have just saved me from making a big mistake. I read about dunking and shaping straw hats and thought this might work for my old Stetson. I've tried the steaming method several times, but nothing seems to work. The bring continues to look "wavy," as if it were a hobo's hat!

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Wow, four recommendations for SunBody in a row! How can I not resist checking them out? So I go to the site and the first hat I saw won me over! I'm now checking out the varieties and will likely have one on the way. 2-3 week lag time they say, so I'd better choose fast, or summer will be...

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    I am not a cap guy save for the occasional baseball or running hat. Recently, I received an ad from Sterkowski Caps & Hats, a Polish company I have purchased from before. Because of the COVID-19, they were offering five handmade masks, either free with purchase, or separately. I thought I...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I'm not getting out much these days due to "social distancing," and haven't posted here recently because I don't have any new hats. I also don't wear hats indoors (!). I do get out when I can to get in my running exercise, so when I do, I typically wear a running hat. Yes, it's an old...

    Disclaimer: This likely won't be of help to you. Recently, I traveled to Vienna, Austria. There, the hotel had a combination shower soap/shampoo in a squeeze bottle from Hydro Basics. I asked the concierge if there was a store from where I could buy some, and the answer was "Not to my...
