Out of all my beanies, I have two favorites. This one, and a more expensive version by this company. That one got 4 stars, even though I like it better (I'm wearing it this second, matter of fact), mostly because it was pricier than this one. What's weird, is that this one is softer and thicker, but costs less.My only real, but minor gripe with them, is that there are two layers of fabric (which is good, for sure, but), and the outer layer likes to ride up and make it funny shaped, after moving around for a while. This also happens with others, as I have a smaller head, so it's not exclusive to this brand. I'd like to see them add some stitching in between the two, to keep them from sliding. This may not happen if you have a bigger head, and have it stretched tighter.I didn't look at the reviews for this one, as it has a high rating, but on the other one, people were complaining about it shrinking in the wash. I've washed both of them, and haven't had that issue. I think the secret is to use cold water, and low heat.This one, like I said, is thicker and softer than the more expensive one (I think I just like the color and look of that one better), and I think a lot of people would prefer this one if they were to inspect both of them at the same time, without knowing the price difference. So, I'd call it a win. ?
