Made in Wyoming
These bonnets are made with the best quality materials and are inspected for flaws before being accepted.

 

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. Click here to see a picture of the adjustable interior of the bonnet.

    The entire bonnet can be machine washed on a gentle cycle or hand washed. The materials, being of good quality, are pre-shrunk and fade-fast.

    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
...."Thank-You, Thank-You, Thank-you!!!  I got my bonnet today!
 I adore it!  I will be wearing it while I weave at the Destrehan  Plantation.  I will also be wearing it while I garden, maybe hunting, definitely building and carpentry work on my husband Charlie's and my 20 acres that we have homesteaded."..........

The bonnet arrived yesterday, it is beyond beautiful.  Ivy just couldn't believe her eyes, she does not want to take it off!  Thank you so much, and we are so happy to be able to support a Wyoming business.       Kindest Regards,  Jo (Evanston, Wyo)
 

...."Hi Madeleine,
My parents received the sunbonnet a few days ago ; my mother has told me it is very pretty!
I haven't seen it yet but I'm sure it will be perfect for my friend's bachelorette party!
Thanks for everything, your kindness and the speedy delivery!"....
                    Virginie (France)

...."I have purchased two bonnets from two different websites. The quality of the bonnets which I unfortunately purchased from those websites, cannot be compared whatsoever to the highly quality bonnets that I have purchased from Madeleine.

 

   I am highly impressed and delighted with the bonnets that I have purchased from Madeleine, a woman who takes true pride in her work; which is magnificent in both quality and aesthetics. I am immensely happy with the bonnets which I have purchased from Madeleine. I plan to get all my bonnets from Madeleine, and from no other than her; now and always."

 

                   Maria, from Utah

..."Hi Madeleine,
 
I am very pleased with the bonnet.  It is very well made.  I wanted to let you know that I won't be purchasing bonnets from any other tailor but you, as your work is far superior to the other two bonnets I have received elsewhere. 
 
I had to laugh because I purchased this as a gift for my friend.  She told me yesterday that she had called you and ordered a "Caroline Ingalls" bonnet from you!  So she is getting two bonnets.  She will be so excited when she hears how happy I am with this one, and will, I'm certain, also stick with being your customer. 
 
Thanks for all your trouble and for offering period-correct bonnets to this re-enactor-at-heart. 
 
Blessings,
       Valorie Machin..."
