Thumbs up Sampling the Merchandise.... Beanies!

Hi guys

I've got some sample merchandise for the next round of IceInSpace branded gear, and I've been testing out the beanie.

With today's freezing weather here, it's a good test

It's been on my head for the past few hours and my head is certainly warm Nice and comfortable, not too tight, and doesn't get *too* hot so your head sweats etc.

Could easily wear this outside while at the scope for an all-nighter.

The IceInSpace logo would be embroidered just above the red stripe.

Thoughts (about the beanie)?

And yes, the mug shot has incited some comments on the IceInSpace Facebook page, too

yeah, I feel the need to duck to one side to avoid the head butt Mike.

Are the beanies knitted or make from polar fleece? Ok, knitted. durrrr
Some people find them very itchy.

I've got to buy a couple more Mike, I really liked the originals, I hope these aren't too itchy, or do you still have some originals left?

The originals are all gone.

These aren't itchy at all. I've had it on for hours now and not scratched once.

The tag says "100% acrylic".

So it's not itchy wool.

I like the beanie and actually prefer this style to the thinsulate (original) one...

I will make no comment on the mugshot other than to say I think I saw a similar photo at the post office (the wanted posters)...I recommend that you do not travel overseas just in case.
