Announcement
Each year 10 million pounds of clothing is sent to the landfill. We have a better idea! All of our hats and clothing is made from "upcycled" and "preloved" sweaters, skirts, coats and t-shirts. We are taking what is no longer desirable or fashionable, and breathing new life into your preloved, discarded garments and giving them a new, more fun life! This will be your new treasure - you will not believe the compliments you will receive! Most of our happy customers return again and again to buy new hats for themselves or gifts. We love making you happy!
Our clothing is made in a smoke free but pet friendly environment.
Our most popular hat size is medium large - this fits average adults heads about 22 inches. Depending on the stretch of the fabric, many will stretch to 24 inches. These will be labeled medium - large. The smaller hats are generally 20 - 22 inches for a small adult or large child. We use stretchy fabric around the band of the hat, so each hat has about 2 - 4 inches of built in stretch. To find your size, take a tape measure around and above your ears. You should have a measurement between 19 - 24 inches. If you don't have a tape measure, use a string and then measure it against a ruler. If you would like a specific size, please inquire about it. I am happy to make custom orders. I can be reached at jaxhatsmt [!at] gmail.com.
People who are going through chemotherapy or alopecia find our hats are perfect for their needs. Soft enough to sleep in, and just the right coverage and warmth. Our hats help you gain confidence when going out in public and make you feel pretty and so much more fashionable then a tied on scarf or turban.
Moms love them for their babies, since they are soft and stretchy, they are rarely pulled off. They are wonderful for photographer's props as well!
One of my favorite hats to make I call "WARM MEMORIES". These are custom hats made from yours or a loved one's special sweater or other clothing. Simply convo me about this, I will make a special listing for you. Purchase it, and send me your sweater or shirt, plus head measurement and I will make a hat especially for you. If you want to use these as family gifts - i.e. grandpa's sweater made into hats for the granddaughters, remember that I can make 3-4 hats from one sweater depending on the size. I should be able to mail it within a week of receiving the item, depending on if it is my busy season or not. Our peak season is from September until Christmas - it will take a few weeks during this time, as I will also be attending many holiday shows.
