The Sunday Afternoons story
Sunday Afternoons began life in Oregon back in the 1980s, when our founders created their first weatherproof “Adventure Blanket” to bring along on family days spent down by the lake. Soon, they began selling the blankets at local craft fairs, before then deciding to make sun hats from the leftover fabric scraps. And just like that, Sunday Afternoons was born.
Today, Sunday Afternoons remains very much a family business, with over a hundred styles of sun hats and accessories, and even some winter options, too. Each hat is designed to help you make the most of every day spent out in nature – a love for which is at the heart of everything we do.
Experts in sun protection
We’ve been making high protection sun hats for over 30 years – long before the need for sun protection was fully understood. Each of our hats is the product of continuous refinement and feedback, with comfort, sun safety, and practicality always front of mind. All our hats are rated UPF 50+ for sun protection, meaning they block 98% or more of the sun’s UV rays; so you can diminish the sun, but never the fun.
Going Beyond the Brim™
We all have a responsibility to protect this planet we call home. That’s why we’re always pushing to reduce our impact, and give back to our community. We’re proud to be Climate Neutral Certified, and our 2023 collection incorporated 73% recycled or responsibly sourced materials. This year, we’re looking to take that even further.
Built to go the distance
Our hats are built to see you through a lifetime of adventures. That’s why each one comes with our Lifetime Guarantee; we’ll stand by them for as long as you stand under them!
Shading heads around the globe
Today, we’re stocked in 65 countries around the world – something our founders could never have dreamed possible when they stitched that first blanket back in 1988. Here in the UK, our hats are distributed by our partners at Four Corners UK Distribution Limited.
