Oh, great, just in time for winter. On the head, acrylic’s lack of breathability is nice since it traps heat and doesn’t breathe. Don’t wear them by the fire when it’s time to make s’mores, though!
@andyw synthetic fibers melt if an ember gets on them rather than burning like natural ones. it’s why they tell you not to wear them while welding or what have you
@andyw@boygenius1991 actually not so for acrylic. They are extremely flammable and also difficult to put out of ignited. They also lack moisture wicking abilities of natural fibres and will easily grow bacteria and get smelly. Of all the synthetic clothing fibres acrylic is one of the worst.
@andyw@Coldwyn I didn’t say they weren’t flammable, just that when they catch fire, they will melt onto your skin and fuse, which natural fibers such as cotton do not. I’m aware of these undesirable traits re: synthetic fibers which is why I’m always the first to warn people when meh tries to sell plastic sheets.
@PooltoyWolf mens are regular ribbed weave, womens are fancier braided weave? Men might be unlikely to wear the women’s styles, but women would easily wear the mens, especially if they are wearing them for warmth instead of style.
@almax697@Bumplepimp Yes, you would look pretty silly wearing a toboggan on your head in Grand Rapids (MI or MN, take your pick!) unless that’s how you were carrying it back up the hill for another run. Nah, even then…
(precarious-valiant-octopus) What the hell I’m in for a set. A good buddy of mine is kind of large. ( He calls himself Rubenesque )so when we hang out together we can both wear our toboggans ( with Poms ) & have the South Park vibe going on…
Why is the guy stuff always so dull? dark set only or 5 all in black or charcoal?
Anyway, I got the three multi-colored sets for donations, and maybe we’ll keep one or two.

The woman’s color selection and weave of material is much nicer than the men’s so i went with woman’s multi color that works better for me no pompom of course
I was on board till I saw the 100% acrylic. No thanks. I’ll stick to something less combustible and can wick moisture away instead of trapping it where it’ll just grow tons of bacteria and stink.
@meh Can the cuff be unrolled on the men’s non-pom hats to make them longer? I have a big head and that’s basically the only way any of these will fit.
I am an average size male (5’10"). When I put on one of these hats, I look like Dumb Donald from Fat Albert.
These hats are huge.
Looks like I’ll be donating all of them instead of just a couple.
May be the fastest item i ever received from Meh @ 8 days , bought the woman’s without pom pom’s because it was a nice color selection and pattern after cuffing up the fronts about 2 inches they fit perfect and look like a better than average head piece, very happy with this purchase, I saw some of the other comments about the hats being large and that is true and i do have a big fat head so not an issue for me good luck hope this helps .
These were fantastic quality. A little bit on the large size, sure, but each of us kept one and then we donated the rest. They are nice, they have kept me very warm through the recent snowfall. Honestly way exceeded my expectations.

Do these fit on cats?
@yakkoTDI Yes, but not for long . . .

@boygenius1991 Why? Do they eat too many?
@boygenius1991
Don’t you want winter hats to trap the heat?
@andyw synthetic fibers melt if an ember gets on them rather than burning like natural ones. it’s why they tell you not to wear them while welding or what have you
@Hanky Yes, which is why I said it was great they were selling these, and bought some

@boygenius1991 @Coldwyn Plastic sheets don’t sound very good anyway! Anyway, I can’t buy sheets at Meh or similar since my wife would like to see them.
@andyw @boygenius1991 @Coldwyn If your hat catches on fire, you are sitting too close to the fire.
If these are nice enough, I might keep one. But I’m buying them specifically to donate.

@Oneroundrobb Me too!
/giphy possible-gnarly-quill
@Oneroundrobb Me Too! Come on Meh Folks - Let’s do some good!
@Oneroundrobb Alright I’m in on the Meh 2020 Winter Hat drive too.
@Oneroundrobb I’m in for two!
Say pom again. Say pom again, I dare you!
@bitter porn?
@bitter …POM!!! (runs like Hell)
I came here to ask what, besides a slight change in cosmetic design, makes these women’s or men’s caps? Couldn’t either wear both?
@PooltoyWolf mens are regular ribbed weave, womens are fancier braided weave? Men might be unlikely to wear the women’s styles, but women would easily wear the mens, especially if they are wearing them for warmth instead of style.
@kevinrs My point exactly. There seems to be no functional difference; it’s purely stylistic.
@kevinrs @PooltoyWolf Well, if Harry Styles can pose on the cover of Vogue in a dress, then I say anyone can wear anything!
@PooltoyWolf Neither should wear both, but either could wear either. Neither would wear either, unless either had one or both.
@shahnm -brain explodes-
@PooltoyWolf at least meh doesn’t charge the “pink tax”
How about a variety pack of all? Sheesh. Who needs 5 of the same thing???
rolling the dice…
/giphy dead-polarizing-heart
Grandma, are you working for Meh again?
Sorry Meh. I always buy my stylish winter hats at Groupon.
Bought to donate.
/giphy coy-atomic-rib
This is just absolutely perfect on chilly days for me and my brother Orthrus!
Thanks!

@shahnm You win this comment thread, IMO.
@Kyeh @shahnm If Heracles comes along, don’t mess with him. It’s better to quit while you’re a head.
anyone call these toboggans? in the south we do. (don’t know why though)
@almax697 That would be a curved wooden snow sled. So no, we in the north would not call them that.
@almax697 @Bumplepimp Yes, you would look pretty silly wearing a toboggan on your head in Grand Rapids (MI or MN, take your pick!) unless that’s how you were carrying it back up the hill for another run. Nah, even then…

Nope. Nope, nope nope. One does not purchase random headgear, it finds the wearer and weaves (or knits…?) a spell.
Any chance i can get the female model as well? (Asking for a friend)
@audiocontr Nah, you don’t want that one. She’s high maintenance; you can tell by the silicone lips that dont close all the way.
anybody know where this is made?
@kvs2000 In the pits of Hell, weaved from Satan’s own back and nostril hair…from the tag…
@kvs2000 Over the mountain and threw the woods at Grandma’s house.
The woman’s color selection and weave of material is much nicer than the men’s so i went with woman’s multi color that works better for me no pompom of course
@mellowirishgent You could wear the pompom on the inside, for that big brain look.
@Steve7654 Is THAT LIKE A SOCK IN YOUR PANTS ? LOL GOOD ONE STEVE !!
“You deserve some stylish hats.”
Yes, I do.
Know where I can find any?
I was on board till I saw the 100% acrylic. No thanks. I’ll stick to something less combustible and can wick moisture away instead of trapping it where it’ll just grow tons of bacteria and stink.
@Coldwyn Acrylic is a dealbreaker for me too. I don’t know if I’m actually allergic to it, but it makes my skin very unhappy. Plus, yeah, it’s gross.
Why not a combo back for mens/womens. We don’t want 10 hats just so we can both get a new hat…
@meh Can the cuff be unrolled on the men’s non-pom hats to make them longer? I have a big head and that’s basically the only way any of these will fit.
@versabox Are you from France?
Missed opportunity, Meh. If you sold them in groups of three, every hockey player in the world would want them.
In for 2 sets for the homeless shelter. Sweet deal.
Well color me surprised! So far, in these comments no one has tried to pull the acrylic over my head with any toque wisecracks or jokes, eh?
