Rain Hats

Friday, April 11th, 2008

It’s raining here and is going to rain for the next few days. At Aaron Hats you’ll find a wide array of rain hats for both men and women. All are lightweight and packable. The first is the Betmar Quilted Bucket hat:

A great rain hat for men is the Dorfman Pacific Bucket Rain hat:

A couple other examples are the Scala Poplin Ivy Cap and nearly any Tilley hat.

Is it Spring?

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Wow, what a beautiful day. It must have hit 60 degrees today. Spring must have finally hit the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

Now the bad news. A few days ago I talked about Panama hats and mentioned the men’s Panama hat by Sunday Afternoons. I just found out today that they have discontinued the hat because of a huge price increase from their supplier. They have assured me they are looking for a new supplier but we all know that we probably won’t see any hats for this season from them. Don’t worry, we’ll have plenty of other Panama hats for you this year.

I’m checking out for today to go enjoy some of this great weather.

Sun Protective Hats for Children

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

A couple days ago I talked about hats with UV protection from the Sunday Afternoons company. Today I wanted to highlight the two children’s sun hats that Sunday Afternoons offer. First is the Kids Play Hat:

The other hat is the Fun ‘N Sun Bucket hat:

Kids Sun Hat

Both of these hats are for boys and girls. They offer excellent UV protection while at the same time being lightweight. They are available in a wide array of colors and sizes for all ages of children. Sunday Afternoons has put a lot of thought into these sun protective hats and I think you’ll agree that these are probably the best sun hats for children.

Fedoras On Sale!

Monday, April 7th, 2008

I have just put a bunch of fedoras on sale in our Special Deals category. Some of these are fur felt fedoras and some are straw fedoras from brands like Stetson, Dobbs, Bailey and Akubra. This have been drastically reduced in price because either we or the manufacturer has discontinued them and we need to make room for the new styles that will replace them. Don’t wait to buy your new fedora if you see the style and size you need because many of these only have one or two available and once they’re sold they’re gone for good.

Happy bargain hunting.

It’s Sunday Afternoon

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

It’s Sunday Afternoon so what better topic to talk about then Sunday Afternoons hats. The company was named Sunday Afternoons because that’s when the family spends most of it’s time together out in the sun thus the need to create sun protective hats for Sunday afternoons.

Taken from their own web site:

Sunday Afternoons was established in 1990 as a small, family-run company creating outdoor products to sell at craft fairs, open-air markets, and trade shows. In addition to selling, we often found ourselves taking notes for new styles, colors, and functional designs from folks who lived and worked outside in the sun.

Our philosophy was and still is to create products that really perform. It is with our customer’s input and suggestions that we have developed a line that truly addresses the needs of those people who work and play in the outdoors. We still love to hear from our customers and welcome their comments.

Sunday Afternoons is now a thriving company, designing and manufacturing high quality sun protective hats and clothing for our customers worldwide.

Sunday Afternoons’ growing line includes new, dermatologist approved sun protective hats and clothing, and other active lifestyle gear. We hope our customers follow our lead by enjoying the sunshine wisely, and playing it safe with full coverage hats, protective clothing and sunscreens. We have discovered that those customers that have made a life long habit of sun protection have healthy skin and a wrinkle-free youthfulness that belies their age.

Now let’s see a couple samples. First up is the award winning Adventure Hat which is perfect for both men and women.

Next up is the Charter Hat. Again, another hat for both men and women.

As we move ever closer to those hot and tropical days of summer be sure to plan on spending plenty of Sunday afternoons with your family wearing your new Sunday Afternoons hats.

Panama Hats

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Despite the fact that it’s snowing today I thought it would be great to showcase a couple of our most popular Panama Hats.

The first is a wide brimmed Panama hat called the Bailey Helmsley. The Helmsley has a generous 3 1/4″ brim and a narrow leather hat band which is a little different from what you normally see on a genuine Panama hat.

Next up is a classic men’s Panama fedora by Sunday Afternoons. It is available in two colors. Previously it was only available in two sizes but they were able to start making them in an XL size for this year.

What A Day For A Hat!

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

It’s not snowing and it’s actually sunny and about 50 degrees. For those of you outside of northern New England this is actually a big deal considering all the snow we still have on the ground.

So whether you wear a Stetson fedora, a Kangol 504, a Bailey Ivy cap, a Betmar sun hat or just a Red Sox baseball cap grab it and get outside to enjoy this beautiful day.

Peace,

Aaron

We Take Competitor Coupons

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Just like the title says, we’ll take our competitors coupons. Hey it works for big fast food chains so why shouldn’t it work for you at Aaron Hats.

Here’s the nitty gritty details. The coupon must be an active promotion from a competing hat store. Joe Schmo selling a few hats on an auction site isn’t considered a competitor. It must be a real hat store. We will monitor our competitors and when we find a new coupon code we will add it to our site so all you have to do is meet the criteria of the coupon and use their coupon code on our site. If for some reason you’ve found a coupon that we haven’t all you have to do is email us the web site or forward the email with the coupon code and we’ll verify it and give you the discount of whatever the promotion may be.

Here are a couple coupons that are currently in use:

Competitor A: Receive free shipping on orders over $85. Coupon code: 1308
Competitor B: Save 10% when ordering three or more hats. Coupon code: Loyalty

Keep in mind that these promotions can expire at any time and we will honor them only as long as they’re active with the competitor. Also, when the coupon specifies “free shipping” then that is for ground shipping within the USA only and if the items that qualified for free shipping are returned for refund you will be charged the shipping fee.

Oh yeah, this isn’t an April Fools joke.

Get a hat on and save,

Aaron
