Bought two matching red hats for my mom and me for our weekend trip to New York (she's a Texan so doesn't have much cold-weather apparel, and we liked the idea of being able to spot one another in crowds). And OH MY GOD. This is THE MOST WONDERFUL HAT that either of us have EVER OWNED. My mother SAID SO. REPEATEDLY. And let me tell you--we are both absurdly picky (especially her, *coughlaugh!*), and we are always picky in different directions, so both of us agreeing = a 100% 3d 360* positive review.
Pros of the magic hat:
- beautiful color--a rich red; looks deep and expensive and bright
- complemented every single outfit we had, even though we didn't wear any red, which you would absolutely not expect of a bright red accessory
- SOFT, comfortable--not a single head itch the entire time--does the hat in fact PREVENT itching???
- the yarn and weave are really lovely, smooth, neat, and comforting to look at--and they haven't come loose anywhere--if I knitted, this would be goals
- kept our heads perfectly warm in the OMG-windy, OMG-freezing New York January, to include all day wear and hours-long outdoor walks
- never too warm/sweaty (I did take it off if inside for more than 10 or so minutes--although I also wear it indoors at home, to stay warm when I refuse to turn on the heater--it's probably comfortable at approx. 65* fahrenheit down to 25*? There is a lower point at which you'd want a lined hat, but I have never gotten there in NY or in Portland)
- indeed helped us find one another when needed: the fashionable equivalent of a walkie-talkie
- PERFECT level of slouch; I have been looking for this slouch ALL MY LIFE
- puffball makes the slouch STAY in the perfect shape
- perfect level of stretch--fit each of us perfectly, never too tight or too loose, never stretched out of shape
- beautiful puffball--floofy, soft, blowdryable to perfection, aesthetic golden ratio in puffball:hat
- snapping feature and extra puffball: so fun! Mine happens to make my hat exactly match a hat that my 9-year-old goddaughter has, so now WE are hat twinz and she is elated
- mine also included an extra snap!! so now I can sew that to a THIRD puffball, or even a small stuffed animal, a zippered snack pouch: THE SKY IS THE LIMIT
Single con of the magic hat:
- since the puffball snaps on, I worry about it falling off, although this has never actually happened. (Once we thought my mom's had, but it turned out she had just left it in the hotel room, lol.) But still. If I wasn't switching the puffballs occasionally, I would probably glue one on at the snap. When stuffing the hat in my pocket or something, I am always sure to fold it so that the puffball is safely secured inside it. This is possibly more a con of my nervous temperament than of the hat.
I want one in every color. You should buy it.
