BOYS Sunhat that ties under the chin????

(23 Posts)
I need some kind of sunhat for Ds 20months that will tie under his chin. Everytime I try to get him to wear any kind of hat he just pulls it off. He's fair and I don't want him getting too hot. Anyone know anywhere I can get one?
Thanks forty, might try that if I see another hat I like without ties smile
You can just buy cotton tape from a needlework shop and sew a couple of bits on.
grin

Think I got 6-12 month size, told you he has a small head!

I used to get mine from Gap,I used to buy up all the big sizes in advance when I saw them as they were the only place I ever saw them.

I also had a fab one from France that had a draw string on the crown which stopped it coming off.
Completely agree smallchange, there are loads of sensible girls sunhats, but boys, even teeny ones, seem to have a silly baseball cap available to them, or nothing

Yep Gap is the only place I've seen them. Weird as you seem to be able to get lots of pink flowery ones that fasten under the chin.

Is a fastening considered unmanly or something by the children's clothing industry? hmm

You could probably rig up ties yourself quite easily with a bit of ribbon and some velcro.

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
