    Worth the money!

    I just got this hat today and I don't think I'll ever buy another sleeping cap again. Its very nice quality, size, and even comes with a pom pom that isn't pictured above. If I loose this thing, you bet I'm buying another one!

    This item came quick as usual! I work at a living history site in Colorado and use this almost every morning until the sun warms things up or all day if it doesn't. Its a great period piece and is useful as well. It won't be the last item I purchase from Chris!
