Palm Hats

Amy Moorhouse knows about western fashion, being a fashion consultant with ties to a number of western manufacturers. She believes in keeping the suns harmful UV rays off the skin around her face with wide brim hats and she finds non better than a palm frond hat which she has a number of. Her first was swiped from her dad, Bob Moorhouse who spent years managing the famous Pitchfork Ranch and lots of that time was spent in the West Texas sun. With that much time outdoors, he knows what he is talking about when it comes to sun protection. Amy dresses hers up with a silk flower or interesting hat band but mainly gives them an interesting crease to make a statement. What a great way to stay cool.
A silk flower adds a little color.

A Nevada crease gives a sombrero feel to the wide brim.

After more than 15 years of use, the center of the original fell out.
