BYOS Womens Winter Chic Cable Warm Fleece Lined Crochet Knit Hat W/Visor Newsboy Cabbie Cap

I bought the black braided front version of this hat for my daughter with alopecia.I had bought several cheaper hats off Amazon last year, and while a couple were cute, only one was still hanging in there and worth wearing to work. (One may revive with some stitchery.) So, I went on the hunt to buy three nicer somewhat dressy/classy hats that would go with business attire and be warm enough to keep her head warm when the air conditioning goes to subzero. (Okay, any amount of cool feels cold to a poor hairless scalp.) Coincidentally I ended up with three weights of hat that all fit a young woman with no hair. (Sorry, we can’t judge how these would fit someone with really thick hair, but regular hair ought not to make too much difference.)I chose  BYOS Womens Winter Warm Fleece Lined Knitted Beret Beanie Hat Cap w/Visor, Various Styles (Braided Front Black) , Kajeer Floppy Corduroy Newsboys Hats for Women Black , and  Womens Hat Linen Blend Military Cadet Cap Ladies Headwear Head Coverings  as stylish enough for a twenty-something IT professional wearing non-suit business attire and comfortable and warm enough to be worn all day.None of these hats arrived with any type of odor, which can be a problem depending upon the manufacturing process. Here’s my daughter’s take on these hats so far; her head is an average size with no-to-buzzed hair depending upon the day, making a good fit and coverage important. Overall, the daughter was happy with all three hats for various reasons. Her take on them is below. BYOS Womens Winter Warm Fleece Lined Knitted Beret Beanie Hat Cap w/Visor, Various Styles (Braided Front Black) Warm and soft knit, with just the right amount of poofiness around the base/band area to give the classic retro newsboy type of look, rather than being fit tightly to the head. Lined with ultra soft fleece. A touch of glitter in the yarn used to knit the rim, band, and braided accents on the top. The band is elasticized. Classy, dressy, warm, and oh, so comfortable. Big hit with the daughter. Kajeer Floppy Corduroy Newsboys Hats for Women Black Another classic retro newsboy cap. Just the right amount of poof above the band around the hat to give the ultimate newsboy look. The corduroy makes it soft and there’s even a string inside so you can adjust the fit of the band to tighten the hat if you need. No need for that here and my daughter removed it immediately, as it was a perfect fit with no need for adjustment. Topped with a cloth-covered button and lined with what seems to be a cotton-type cloth. Warm without being as warm as the knit and fleece lined hat making it fit a wider range of temperatures. Classy, semi-dressy, and very comfortable. Another big hit. Womens Hat Linen Blend Military Cadet Cap Ladies Headwear Head Coverings This is a more modern military take on the newsboy cap, in my mind. Although it says it’s a military cadet cap. It just seems like a newsboy with no poofiness around the edges. Not so retro as the other caps. It has a elasticized part on the back of the band that is a few inches wide to make the hat more adjustable. It says it is for small heads, but it seems to be a similar size to the others. It’s lined with cotton or something similar. Not quite as classy-looking as the others, but very nice. The buckle is a nice touch, although it doesn’t hold the band tightly. Perhaps this is to be used for an adjustment, but so far, the band seems to loosen on its own, so we may end up tacking it or adding Velcro under it to hold it in place better. Overall a very nice-looking hat. Comfortable and suitable for keeping a head warm under normal conditions, but as it’s thinner, we don’t know how it would do out in the cold. Not quite as dressy as the other two hats, it will be good for slightly more casual office wear and every day clothes. Another win.Very happy with all these purchases. Should a hat not hold up as expected or have problems, I will return and amend this review.

Love this hat!!! It is soft to the touch, it looks and feels luxurious. Excellent quality materials, beautiful shape, the back is expandable and soft for wider fit. Absolutely love the cap to propect my face from rain and wind, perfect for Indiana weather. The inside is lined with whoolie material so your head will be warm and cosy. Super happy with this product overall at excellent price!!! I need them in all the other colors now. TEN STARS :-)

This hat is so cute, blocks the sun and wind and is comfortable. The inside is lined in faux fur but it doesn't make your head hot. It is larger enough on the sides for me to cover most of my ears to keep warm. It packs well.

I wanted a warm hat with a visor for a cold weather trip. The visor keeps the hood of my anorak from falling over my eyes and gives me some extra warmth since the hood isn't lined. I measured my head before buying the hat after reading many reviews of hats in which everyone thought they had average size heads but found hats to be too large or too small. I actually DO have an average size head! The hat (I got the white one with the flower) is large enough to pull down over my ears and looks cute on. There is enough stretch in it to fit a larger head, but it might not fit well on someone with a small head. I am impressed with how well it is made. It's lined and the flower is well attached. I'm really pleased with my choice.

Warm, nice fit, stays on & doesn't itch (very little itch, nothing like the other hats i've had or were made of yarn). Best winter hat i've ever had. It hugs the head, holds all my hair no matter how I put it up. Braid or pony tail it stretches enough to go over & still hug the head. I have tried a bun, the hat didn't want to cover the ears as well but it was all good. Also it takes a really strong wind for it to try to move the hat off the head so I just pulled the hood of my jacket over my head & tied it, the bill of this hat keeps everything in place. The hat seems very well made. I loved this hat so much I recommended it for my mom. She liked the look on me so I ordered her one. We have the one with the flower on the side & seems to be a nicely woven, no loose holes for wind to get in. I've warn it in mild freezing weather of Montana & not felt the wind through the hat.

This hat is exactly as pictured and the color is accurate also. It is nicely constructed, and it does not have an odor. I also ordered another hat that had such a strong chemical smell it is unwearable. This one smells just fine! I love that it's pretty and feminine AND has a brim to keep the sun out! It's just what I was looking for for. I had compliments on it the first day I wore it. Love it!

Cute and well made. It's not tight but it is a fitted style hat. So if you want some room so it doesn't flatten you hairdo this hat might not be for you. In order to not completely squish my hair, I lift the back rim of the hat so it rests about to the middle of my ear.

I love the dark burgundy color, the rosette-cloche look and the long brim - but this hat needs some upgrades to be suitable for frigid weather. As other reviewers noted: you can’t pull the hat down over your ears and have it stay there - and I have a very small head. Second; the lining is a very thin open knit with crochet-like bigger holes to accommodate the odd method for joining it to the hat. The lining needs to be one piece and fleece (windproof). Fix these two design issues and I’d buy in many other colors; so would others because there’d be nothing else this attractive on the market.

This hat is more fashion than function. The yarn is loosely woven so I doubt it will last very long. There is a thin elastic around the head that is uncomfortable at times and because it's so thin (or maybe round?) it doesn't seem to want to pull down and stay over my ears. It has a light lining. I live in Ontario, Canada. I wore is in -8 C, and it was way too cold. I think it would be better suited for the West Coast, in lighter winters. Lots of air blows through the weave, it's just not tightly knit or well insulated but will be good driving to work and walking in from my car.
