These Clearance Santa Hats were Prototypes.
When I started making "Santa Hats" for our store I needed to try a lot of different color combinations, hat sizes, trim width, size of the poof ball, and washing durability. I tried things like "bright red" and "dark red", and different Minky furs for the trim. These are still great hats, absolutely nothing wrong with them, but they didn't make the final cut for the website.
I will include a picture of each clearance hat, but PLEASE pay close attention to the pictures, color, and sizes that you pick. These hats are clearance items and therefore a final sale, no returns.

Every Holiday Hat is handmade right here in Salt Lake City, for Santa at the North Pole! Good ol' Kris Kringle has asked us to hold back a LIMITED amount each year to share with BBB holiday shoppers. So, the Elves, at the Blankets by Brian shop, precisely cut & hand stitch each hat individually. This way we know that extra special attention and craftmanship is paid to each hat.
This is NOT made with cheap itchy felt or velvet material that are purchased for one use then thrown away. I have painstakingly searched for the warmest, softest, and most luxurious Minky Faux-Fur in the market. This is a winter hat that will last for years and something fun to wear during the winter and holidays. They are perfect for work, holiday parties & pictures, and general merriment. but the surprise comes when you realize they're so comfortable and warm you'll want to wear them everywhere and even after the holidays are over. Take them on the ski slopes, ice skating, shoveling snow, and holiday shopping.
**How to Measure Your Head: Take a soft and bendable measuring tape. Stiff, metal, or wood will not work. Measure around your head, typically where you normally like to wear a fitted cap or stocking cap. If you measure 23 inches or smaller buy the Small/Medium. If you measure 23 1/2 inches to 26 inches the Medium/Large should work. This material has a little stretch so that it will fit most head sizes.

Measuring Tape Assembly: Print page on 8.5” x 11” paper at 100%. DO NOT change the “Print Scale”. Cut out the FOUR strips following the light gray dotted line (include the Blue Tabs). Next, glue or tape the Dark Blue Tab (on the left) underneath (back-side) the Light Blue tab (on the right). Carefully line up the Blue tabs and ensure that the next strip continues the “One Inch” increments. (Place #1 tab on the back-side of the 1st strip. Blue tabs and solid black lines lining up.) Attach the strips in sequential order.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE HOLIDAY HATS:
We are recommending that you DRY CLEAN the DARK COLORED Holiday Santa Hats. This includes the following colors: Santa Red, Mistletoe Green, Blue Spruce, Midnight on Christmas (navy), and the Gingerbread colors. Minky fabric is usually color fast, and usually never bleeds. Especially after a few washings. However, when you place a Dark Color next to white fabric, the dark color might bleed onto the light color. The Good news is that you can follow normal "Blankets by Brian Cleaning" instructions (CLICK HERE) on ALL other light colored Holiday Hats. This includes the Black Hat with dark trim because they won't bleed on each other. Light colored Holiday Hats can be washed in cold water, 1 TBLS of simple soap or just vinegar. NO HEAT! NO FABRIC SOFTENERS! Tumble dry with NO HEAT or Air Dry. NO DRYER SHEETS with fabric softeners, use wool balls instead.
