Western Sun Bonnets come in
assorted colors; what is available is what is shown. We get
assorted color shipments and the bonnets are almost always bright
and cheerful. Some of the more subdued colors are in the
traditional patterns of calico originally used by pioneer women.
Worn to keep the sun and wind
from their faces and keep their skin white, these bonnets were
used by women from all status of life from the elaborately styled
feathered and beribboned decorative bonnet, to the more standard,
plain and sturdy style. At that time, no 'decent' woman would be
caught without one!
Today, sunbonnets can be
colorful and flamboyant but are still a poignant reminder of our
pioneer past while still providing fantastic protection from
sunburn. In addition, the more traditional colors are used in
bonnets made for historical reproductions and re-enactments.
Western Sunbonnet Information
They are all handmade locally,
with a stiffened brim, neckties and have an adjustable tie inside
the bonnet at the neck base. Bonnets are machine washable and
sturdy but we recommend a gentle cycle. After washing, lightly
press with a warm iron if needed.
Bonnets have a 5 1/2 inch deep
brim, and a neck ruffle of 5 inches. The gathered cap is deeper
and roomier by approximately 2 inches.
To lengthen the back neck
covering, loosen the ties inside the casing. To shorten, tighten
the ties.
The quality of the sewing is
wonderful as the women who make these are meticulous and detailed.
The size is a medium/large
which fits most women. If, however, you find that this is still
too small, please return with your receipt for an exchange.
However, on your exchange, there are no guarantees on color or
pattern.

How the Bonnets are Made
The bonnets are
made with high quality colorful or period correct material
cotton blends. A layer of denim or pellon is laid between the
between two additional layers of cotton on the top and bottom
(denim or pellon) in the bonnet brim and then 'quilted' together
before being stitched to the back head piece. The ties and the
interior casing are added last.
The entire bonnet can be machine washed on a gentle cycle or
hand washed. The materials, being of good quality, are
pre-shrunk..
The bonnets are beautifully hand sewn in Wyoming and are USA
made. Something we are very proud of here at Rawhide Gifts and
Gallery! |

Testimonials
......."I just received my
sunbonnet and I just LOVE it! It fits
perfect and trust me I can say this
because I have ordered a few bonnets
from other people and they just don't
fit right. This one is wonderful and
I will be ordering another one
soon."................
Elizabeth Gillett, Texas
...."Dear
Madeleine,
I received the sunbonnets in the
mail today. I cannot find the words
to express my satisfaction. The
craftsmanship is ABOVE and BEYOND!
Please let the ladies know how
thrilled I am, and how very talented
they are. Seems as though they are
fulfilling one of the purposes they
were put on this earth to do. The
note cards are beautiful as
well. Thank you. Your shop must be
something else to see. I think I had
said, yes, please go ahead with the
baby bonnets, didn't I?
Thanks again,
......Marcia (Side Hill Badger Trading
Post) (WHOLESALE CUSTOMER)
...."I
ordered two of the sunbonnets and you
only had one left. After a call, you
assured me you'd be able to get me two
bonnets, if not of the same color, at
least of another color I'd like and in
time before I left. Then you contacted
me again. You gave me extraordinary
service! I will probably order again.
Thank you!....
.............Mary Roberts, NC.....
...."My
daughter's bonnet
came today!! Just in time for the
'Easter Bunny to give it to her! It is
beautiful. She will love it!! ......
Kim L., MS
......."I'm delighted with my
bonnet....I was surprised at how fast
it got here and how bright the colors
were compared to the pictures on the
site. I live in a sunny state, South
Carolina, so I sure was glad to see
these lovely sunbonnets for sale.
Thanks again"......
Martha Garrettson, S.C
........."I ordered one of the larger
bonnets for my aunt because she has a
very rare form of skin cancer and I
felt the larger bonnet and brim would
help keep the sun from her face. I was
glad I found you!............
