She has a lot of hats on ebay, can anyone recommend her hats and/or have any pics of someone wearing one?

The lady, Jackie, is very nice and I had a lot of correspondance with her,
but her hats are just weird. I don't know if she's changed the design, but
the hats are huge! I wear a 7 1/8 fitted baseball cap and her hats were
just too "deep." By deep, I mean that they went halfway over my ears.
Also, she embroidered my name on the hat, which was a little weird. Very
nice of her, but sort of weird... If she's changed the design to a more
traditional cycling cap design, then you can't beat the price.

I got mine pre december, I'm not sure when though. When I
got mine, the hats were still fitted and I suggested to her
that she make them with elastic. I guess she changed the design.
The hats used to be so awkward that I couldn't give them
away. They just ended up in the trash. What still confuses me
is that when I contacted her, she made it seem like she was
hand making these.... But how could someone hand make a hat
and only sell it for $6? She must be getting them wholesale
from somewhere, right?

She musta taken your advice because mine has elastic in the back for a nice snug fit. I have no idea how she can sell them for so cheap because if they are handmade she must only make pennies on each hat. Not really worth it for the seller but a great deal for the buyer. Either way she is still at it so she must be making some $.

I need a lightweight logo-free cap for spring, and the price was right so I gave her a shot. Sounds like the sizing may not be all that consistent, so I guess I'll just wait and see.

Old swobo wool winter cycling caps are awesome. especially so if you get it for free.
