Please, can you help me find a hat for ds (almost 3yrs) I CANNOT find one that isn't....

[MrsFrosty]

brown, navy, sludge green or character related. I'm looking for something so I can spot him easily (he's a runner )but not that will make him look ridiculous (ie not those jester type hats so beloved of the attendees of Glastonbury). I know I'm asking alot but there must be something out there! Thanks.

Some nice ones here?

last year ds who was 1 at the time would not keep a hat on for love or money. DP bought him an adult beanie and he wore it all winter, so maybe something like that?

This?

or this?

or this (certainly stands out)?

or this?

This comes in turquose or red. Not sure of the sizing.

Thanks Jackieno, I would quite like one with ear flaps woodenchair as he really feels the cold I like the little blue one with ear flaps on the first page of the little trekkers one but it doesn't come in his size...bum!

This is lovely and bright, but not sure if you'd think the tassel was too much. In fact that website has several pages of colourful hats.

flaps it is then. have you tried any supermarkets, they are pretty good.

I think I saw a deer stalker hat in Tesco's yesterday

DS has one I bought last year in Primark with shaped earflaps. Mid blue.

Bush Baby Snow hat (down at bottom of page) in red or royal blue.

Fair trade rainbow one (scroll down) or the one below in bright blue?

Seesaw do lovely nordic hats and matching scarves - they have nice stripes in grey and bright red.

pompoms?
tassels?

There's a poster up in DS's nursery for someone who handmakes hats with flaps, come to think of it -- I'll take down the details.

Thank you! Loads of brillian suggestions. I think I'll get him a couple from the Jako-o website, they're great! So I have one more quick question. Ds's head circumferance is 52cm. They have ones in 50/52 or 54/56. Do you think I should go for the larger one or the one that is exactly his size?

My inclination is always to buy bigger, but I guess it might slip down over his eyes. Sorry, that's not really any help, is it. You might be able to fold the 'brim' up a bit to make it smaller if it's really too big.
