Jemis Skullies Beanies Thin Bonnet Cap Autumn Casual Beanies Hat

These caps were perfect for me on a bad hair day. I just love the colors because I wear them with blue jeans and brown jeans. I just pop them in the washer when they need washing and start my day again. I get a lot of compliments when I wear them.

Adorable and just what I was looking for

Soft, provided protection and made well.

I purchased the Jemis velvet lined Autumn casual 2 hat combo (16 bucks at the time, Prime) from Kayier Trade Limited. The velvet does NOT line the whole inside, but does most of it (as reflected in the advert pics). I have just ordered my second set of the same hat (no velvet this time) so I can have a matching scarf and hat combo (no real reason, but because I can! LOL) and so I can try out the hats without velvet. I have worn the velvet both closed and with my long hair sticking through the hole to see the different effects. My two teenage boys said they are very beanie and very me. Not sure if that is good or bad LOL. I wear them all of the time but the weather is getting warmer (upper 60s) so they (the velvet) are now getting a little too warm. But, I heat up easily and this is a personal opinion, not a fact for everyone. But they (the velvet) are comfortable to be sure.Look at the advert pictures. It can be worn as a choker scarf and can be worn as a beanie. You can have your (medium/long) hair hang out the back hole or not. The hat has a TWISTED sewed shape to it so that when the hat it put on, the whole in the back closes nicely (no gaping hole). I make sure to hold the edge with the velvet and give it a good shake before putting on, this seems to guarantee a closed top whole for me. I wear it slouched for that baggy back effect, which I think may help with the top closure. I have not worn it in freezing weather but seems to work very well in upper thirties fahrenheit.I was highly skeptical of the beanies due to the double opening. I am so very happy to say, it is not an issue. Others have complained of the hat untwisting after washing so the top no longer closes. I am washing my first one today and will update only if there are issues. If there are issues, it should not be hard to resew the seam to make it twistie again, but again, I will update if this is an issue.I want to order even more of the Jemis hats, but this was the only pattern that fit my fru-fru style both as a velvet or just the regular cloth ones. Most of the others are more geodesic in design (think like Native-American block type patterns... or go look for yourselves!). Jemis also advertises their beanies for cancer patients so you might need to look around for one you like. I am not a cancer patient and have very long hair. They are the exact same beanies with the double open ends. I found more velvet lined ones doing that, but many of those were a little manly (in other words, not fru-fru). But they did look good. I may revisit those in the future.I have not found any of the negative issues mentioned by others, yet. Sewing and lining are good, the 2nd hole closes well, I can fit it around my neck (and get it over my head), they do not seem to run small (for a woman). I am very happy with this purchase. I will update as needed.

They are light material which is what I was looking for. But definitely would not say they are big head friendly. They are stretchy. But does not look flattering. I will use them inside. But wouldn't wear them out. Maybe different for others with smaller heads. For me though, not what I was hoping for. They are soft, and the colors are nice.

Update: The vendor has been very gracious and has gone on the website removed the images that appear to show it sewed shut and it is now represented by an image that shows that it is open all the way through. I still am not sure of the fabric content, it is not tagged. But they have been very gracious in offering monetary compensation.I'm very disappointed, but I need these desperately and I'm keeping them and I will sew it shut myself. They do not make it clear in the images or in the descriptions that these are not sewed shut, they are left open for whatever reason. When you're going through chemo and you want to keep your head warm, you do not need an open hole in the back! I wanted to like these, I also noticed that they have conveniently left off any kind of tag saying what they're made of. I have a sneaking suspicion it's because they are not 40% cotton, they're 99% polyester and they lie about it in the ad. I'm keeping them because it's not worth it to send them back and I desperately need something to cover my head. But yes I'm going to have to sew them shut myself.

Love the colors and the fit would buy again. Received compliments from everyone that saw these.

This was gifted to a cancer patient and she loves the comfort and cuteness of them
