I've been using female beanies from Wholecustomdesign for 90 days now. I wanted to see if this beanie could hold up to daily wear and tear. Here’s my day-by-day breakdown of my experience with the Brand Skullies Beanies Men Knitted Hat Winter Hats For Men Women Cap Winter Beanie Hat Gorro Thick Warm Bonnet Men's Winter Cap blue-55-62CM.
The beanie arrived quickly. The color was exactly as pictured online – a nice, deep blue. My first thought was that the knit looked pretty tight, which is a good sign for warmth. It felt soft to the touch. It didn't have any weird smells, which is always a plus. It seemed like a good female beanie.
I tried it on right away. It fit snugly but not too tight. I have a smaller head (around 56cm), so I was glad it didn't slide down. The material felt comfortable against my skin. I wasn't itchy at all, which is a big deal for me since I have sensitive skin.
Verdict: Initial impressions are positive. Good fit, nice color, and comfortable material.
I wore the beanie every day for a week. The weather was pretty chilly, so it was a good test. Here's what I noticed:
I did notice a little bit of stretching after a few days. It wasn't a huge deal, but it became slightly looser. I also realized that the beanie is quite thick. It might be too warm for milder days. I started adjusting by wearing it only when it was truly cold. Checking the return policy before purchasing is always a good idea, just in case!
If you are looking to purchase directly from the brand, take a look at the WholeCustomDesign Online Store.
Verdict: Great for cold weather, but might be too warm for milder days. Some stretching noted.
After a month of daily use, I had a good sense of the beanie's strengths and weaknesses. My routine involved wearing it on my morning walks and during my commute. I also wore it while working from home when I wanted to feel extra cozy.
