DYO The Lightweight Lisa Beanie

While our dear friend Lisa Cappuchi was fighting a long battle with cancer, she shared that a lot of medicines cause hot flashes, wigs become too hot to wear, and many of the beanie options available were too warm for the hot flashes, too scratchy for the nerve sensitivities, or just didn’t look great — she mentioned how she'd love a soft, comfortable but "slouchy" beanie she could wear during and after treatment.

We loved the idea of collaborating with her to design something that better suited her needs.

With Lisa’s guidance we sought to create a lightweight, soft, and comfortable beanie with plenty of slouch to keep it stylish. We also wanted to let folks include a personalized handwritten message of love, support, or just some words of fun, to be printed in the hem of every Lisa Beanie they create.

Great news, Lisa is still going strong!

Unique Features:

• Write your own special message, mantra, or signature to be printed inside the hat’s hem.

• Your one-of-a-kind artistic design is duplicated on the front and back of the hat for seam-to-seam coverage. Hand made with care in Las Vegas, NV.

•  A percentage of every Lisa Beanie sold goes directly to Lisa to help with medical expenses.

Our hats are soft and super stretchy, so each size fits a good range of head size!
Here's our size chart for reference:

Size Head Circumference Small Newborn 12"-13" Newborn 14"-15" Baby 16"-17" Toddler 18"-19" Child 19"-20" Teen 20"-21" Small Adult 21"-22" Large Adult 23"-25"

 

Our products are made with a buttery-soft, lightweight poly-spandex blend fabric – the same fabric used on higher-end t-shirts from Nordstrom, Free People, or similar. 

The material is prone to “pilling” with extreme wash & wear, if frequently slept in, or if washed in hot water. Follow wash & care instructions closely, and turn garment inside-out to wash for longest last of the garment.

– Machine wash cold
– Tumble dry low (hang dry for longest last)
– Iron medium heat
– Do not dry clean
– Do not bleach

Since it’s already been touched by 385ºF heat to get your artwork on it, there is no discernible shrinkage to your garment.

While we encourage the use of “Anything you can imagine” there are a couple things that are good to know before you start designing:

• NEON: We currently do not have “neon” inks. While we are able to come close on some colors, neons do often get muted to their closest non-neon-neighbor color.

• METALLICS: We do not have “metallic” inks. Metallic items can look really cool when printed, but it’s good to know that most shine or glitter effects show up as white or gray and create metallic or glitter effect from a distance but will look a bit strange up close. (Not bad, just strange.)

• WHITE SPACE
If your design leaves a lot of white space, please be sure to check out the “Fabric & Care” tab and preview this video.

We think our stuff works best when you fill the whole coloring sheet up with lots of bold, bright color and imagination! One of the coolest features is that your design will be printed seam-to-seam, and duplicated front and back – so make use of all that space!

• NON-TEMPLATE ART
If you decide to upload artwork that is not in one of our templates, our image processing team will do its best to fit it to the shape of the garment you order. Please note, some cropping will occur. We do not offer print previews, if you have exact design specifications, it’s best to use one of the templates.
