Jax Hats {Review + Giveaway}

If you have been following my blog for any amount of time, you know that I fully support crafters and small business. I just love how items that are handmade just feel so wonderful to have and use.

Jax Hats are no exception. I first stumbled across Jax Hats a year or so ago at my local Saturday Market. I loved the style of them and the fact that they were not only handmade and local, but upcycled as well. Jax Hats are made from Upcycled sweaters and they are just wonderful!

Lately, my “color” has been lots of greys and browns. Jackie, who hand crafts Jax Hats made me a wonderful hat in grey and black. I have worn it many days in the still cold weather here in western Montana and not only does it keep my head warm, but it is so darn cute. I get compliments on it everywhere I go! I love that the band on the hat is made from t-shirts. It does an excellent job of keeping the hat comfortably in place!

Jax Hats also has a new line of infant and toddler gear as well. These hats make me wish I had a little one again because they just look absolutely darling on both little boys and girls.

The button that you see on the side of the hats are all hand-crafted as well. This hat is just so cute and fashionable, I am worried the warm weather may be coming too soon and I will have to retire my new favorite fashion accessory!

Pros:

These hats are hand made, high quality and they fit well. I love that they are made with upcycled materials and that the buttons on the sides are also home-crafted. You cannot find a better hat for anyone! These look great on women, children, teens, infants and even men!

Cons:

They can be a bit pricier than some people can afford compared to retail prices, but for quality this good, it is more than worth it in my opinion, because after all, these are not mass produced and you are supporting a great independent craft business.

Verdict:

Everyone needs a hat like this! I highly recommend these hats!
