Our Story

Our family has been playing outdoors together since the early 1980s. Rooted in the Pacific Northwest, Sunday Afternoons founders Robbin and Angeline Lacy raised their family in Ashland, Oregon, where they spent their free time windsurfing, hiking, and exploring nature on long Sunday Afternoons.

In 1986, Angeline began sewing waterproof, portable blankets for beach trips and backcountry picnics. Named The Original Adventure Blanketâ„¢, the Lacys began sharing them with friends, eventually selling them at craft fairs in Oregon.

As the popularity of the blankets grew, so did the material scraps. Mindful of waste, Angeline and Robbin began to repurpose the scraps into sun hats. Years of tinkering with the hat design led to the Original Adventure Hatâ„¢, featuring UPF 50+ sun protection, a wide brim, and a protective neck cape. The Adventure Hat is still an icon today.
