Copious drool and hot pants? Deplorable on the grown, but adorable on the growing. Proving that what’s good for the gosling isn’t always great for the gander.
Susu & John’s old-world wide-brimmed sun bonnets are no exception. Hand cut from a pattern handed down through generations, the bonnets have the heirloom quality of yesteryear with the modern ease of machine washability.
The button-on crown and detachable brim allow for ventilation and mixing and matching (traditional ginghams or bright, splashy patterns). Look for a cool weather version this fall. Or, to suit your little Southern gent, check out the Beaufort Button Bucket hat with a nine-button brim, so you can swap styles (from front-flap-up to the double-buttoned Sherlock Holmes).

Beaufort bonnet company makes a splash with online sales
If Americans didn't already know Beaufort from the movies, they're now discovering it from a simpler source--a baby bonnet with Lowcountry roots and a modern twist that's being sold online.
Just a few weeks out of the gate with their classic baby bonnet and hats, Susu & John, a Web-based company started by longtime local Mary Patrick and her daughter Janie McQueen, has taken orders from Seattle, New York, Atlanta, Kansas, D.C.--and Beaufort, of course.
The Original Beaufort Button Bonnet is custom made, based on a handmade heirloom pattern Patrick was given when her daughter was a baby. The pretty but practical bonnet has a unique, soon to be patented feature--the crown buttons on, so you can switch out different crowns and brims to create different looks.
"Our baby bonnet combines traditional with a fun, upbeat look," says Patrick, an expert seamstress who personally makes or oversees the quality of each bonnet and hat. "For instance, a bold print looks smashing with gingham."
Susu & John--named after McQueen's six-month-old twins--is continually adding new fabrics that complement the existing ones. "You can virtually have a new baby bonnet for every day," Patrick said. The bonnet is machine washable and can be worn by ages 5 months to 18 months.
Susu & John also makes a sporty boy's (or girl's) hat, the Beaufort Button Bucket. All can be ordered online at www.susuandjohn.com.
