JJ Cole Bundleme Shearling Baby Hat, 0 - 6 Months

 (99 customer reviews)

This is a beautiful hat--as one of the reviewers said, "For a Keebler elf." I was able to make the hat much bigger--to fit a 3 month plus baby by just removing the elastic from the back of the cap. Just take a seamripper or exacto knife and

1) slice the seam in the back of the cotton lining,

2) slice the seam inside headband to get to the elastic

3) slice the stitching on the elastic

4) cut the elastic out and discard it.

The whole operation can be done in about 5 minutes. You are left with a cap that fits the baby beautifully and has a split seam in the lining. If you care, you could spend 5 minutes sewing up the seam in the lining, or just leave it--it doesn't show when the hat is on the baby.

Very cute hat! It's soft and plushy but I wish there was more info on the sizing. Based on other reviews that stated the hat ran really small, I ordered the 6-12 months for my 2 1/2 month old son. According to one particular reviewer with a baby of similar age and headsize (25th percentile, same as my son), the hat was way to small. Well I don't know if my son has a super small head ( 15 1/2 inches circumference) but the hat is way too big. Am going to keep it for next year and just order the smaller size for this winter. I actually measured the hat at the inside seam and it's appr. 18 1/2 inches around, but it also stretches! In fact I was able to stretch it over my own head to about 22 - 23 inches. Hope this helps.

I am an avid fan of JJ Cole products. Everything they do is top quality. I started with the Baby Bundleme. I have tried other items as well. The JJ Cole Baby Hat is soft and comfortable. You will love it. It's a perfect gift. If you want a high quality item, get this one!
