I think it's great that the pompom comes off. I wore this hat at a camp fire and needed to wash the smoke smell out. I just snapped off the pompom and tossed beanie in the washer. Snapped the pompom back on when out of dryer. Done. Easy. I will be ordering other colors!

This item is exactly as shown in the photos, fits nicely around my head, but extra slouchy in the top/back. It even came with a free, extra yarn pom in addition to the fur pom it came with. The poms snap on and off easily, and the fur pom is easily fluffed by holding it under a blowdryer for a few seconds.

Its absolutely perfect for my daughter. She is going to love it!

I am in love with this hat. It fits my petite head perfectly and it is soft and comfortable.
