I gotta brag about a hat company I love.

Az. Shady Hat's.

I got my first one at the Barrett-Jackson auction in 2010, then a second one at the same Barrett-Jackson Auction this past Jan. The first one I got was the Arizona Latte (if you see it on the website) and the second one I got was the Canyon Mocha. MAN I LOVE THESE HATS!!! They donate a percentage of their profits to skin cnacer charities.

Their pitch is too many people wear cap's and ears and noses are exposed to skin cancer (especially in Arizona) They are made in the USA and have a lifetime guarantee "if the hat wears out before you head does, we will replace it". I put their guarantee up to a test last weekend and they came through. The hats are crushable and I crushed mine under my car seat by accent and left there for a few days, once I pulled it out, the brim wouldn't really go back to shape, I E-mailed them on Memorial day. Keith (the owner) replied in 10 minutes and asked me to call him, I did and he gave me ideas to re-shape it. I tried and it didn't work, I sent him a pic of where it wasn't shaping right and he said the elastic was torn....Anyway, fast forward to yesterday and I had a package on my doorstep, a brand new hat! I didn't even have to send the old one back. I LOVE companies that stand behind their products. The Latte is perfect to wear in the pool and the canyon is more of a cool weather hat. AWESOME!

I love hat's and have a large collection. If you know someone who loves hat's, these are the BEST! By the way, they ARE crushable, I have crushed both of mine many many times, this was the first time it didn't bounce back, probably because it was crushed for too long, but it didn't matter since they replaced it with no fuss.
