The Famous SOB Hat
When Bill Moore was a kid growing up, his family was Farmers and Ranchers in Central Arizona. Every year all of the ranchers would have a cattle round up in Pumpkin Center. Bill Moores granddad Yancey Orville favorite saying was lazy SOB. At Age 10 Bill Moore drew the brand with the letter that lays on its side which is the S. Bill later registered the lazy SOB in Arizona and has used it ever since. Today the hats have never been brighter and sharper with the 2017 Zephyr Hats incorporating the Arizona Flag.
