| Can anyone tell me where to find those beautiful straw hats that we see so often on Mary Jane on the covers of the magazine? I have looked for the past couple years an can only find the ones that are of paper straw, not real straw. Being in the southwest desert area, I would like to find one of the wider banded ones. Any suggestions welcomed. |

We published complete instructions for making the raffia garden hat you often see MaryJane wearing in the magazine in our "Sentimental Journeys" issue (June/July 2010). You can buy our Back Issues Bundle #5, which includes that issue, here: http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/backissues.asp.
Thanks!

If you aren't up to making your own, and I am not, look for SunBody's. They are palm hats, handmade in Guatemala. The company is in Texas. They have many different styles, and the hats are wonderfu.

Good gravy, Mara! I am outtamymindbananas over that site! I LOVE hats!!! Thank you for sharing it with us! The hat you've posted is awesome (great taste, Jody!), and I especially love this one: http://www.berkeleyhat.com/rawocrhafl.html ... but right now it's out of stock. :( I'll keep watching, though! Ohmygosh I can't wait to share this with my friends!!! Thanks again - Nini

Wow, Nini, tell us what you really think! :)

| Jody, now I realize why I hesitated ordering this hat when I found it: I couldn't figure out whether the color pictured was tan or camel. (It wasn't any of the others, obviously.) is yours like the picture? If so, which color did you order? |

Nini ~ you are the cutest!! So excited!! LOL... They are great hats! You can stuff them in your suitcase too and they come out just fine (at least I think it's the same type that will do that). Very cool! You have to get one (or two or three). I am sure I will need to get a couple more because, Dang, they have them in colors!! haaha...
We can do it! |

For anyone still looking for a Maryjane hat....I found one that I love! I bought it here in So. Cal. at Dick's Sporting Goods, but they also sell it online at www.dickssportinggoods.com. It has a comfy elastic band inside to keep in from shifting or blowing off. It's referred to as a Lady Hagan Golf Hat at sells for $25.
