The hat they will
actually keep on
An ounce and a half, nothing covering the face, and it sits right over a hood. Add whatever black is already in the closet and your kid is out the door in about a minute.
Fits a three-year-old and a fifth grader
No elastic, no sizing band. It settles onto the head instead of gripping a number, so the same hat works on a preschooler and on the parent walking behind them.
Gold that shows up after dark
The stars are pressed foil, not flat ink. They catch porch lights and phone flash, so the doorstep photos have something in them.
Light enough to forget about
An ounce and a half. Kids stop noticing it by the second house, which is the only way a hat makes it home instead of into your coat pocket.
They pick the color, not you
Red, pink, orange, purple, blue and black. A kid who chose their own hat puts up a lot less of a fight about wearing it at the door.
Folds flat on November 1
Press the cone down and it goes in a drawer. Next October it comes back out and still fits, because there was never a size to grow out of.
It goes on over the coat
October nights are cold. This sits on top of a hood and a winter jacket, which is more than a mask or a full costume can manage.
Let them pick the color
Six to choose from at the top of this page. Orange, pink and red are the easiest to spot under headlights. Add them to the cart one at a time to get more than one color in the same order.
One night, start to finish
What the hat is doing while your kid works the block.

The costume takes one minute
Dark sweater, black leggings, the hat. Nothing to zip, nothing to try on, no face paint drying while everyone waits by the door.

The first doorstep
Nothing covers the face, so they can see the step, the dog and the bowl. The neighbor gets a real smile in the photo instead of a mask.

Three streets in, still on
An ounce and a half, sitting over a hood, held down by two bobby pins. This is the hour when most costume pieces are already in a parent pocket.
Home, still on their head
Press the cone flat, put it in a drawer, and it is ready next October. There is no size to grow out of.
The actual measurements
The cone stands about 13.8 inches tall and the brim measures 15 inches across. The whole hat weighs 1.4 ounces.
There is no sizing band inside. The opening is wide and soft, so it settles onto the head rather than clamping down. That is why one size covers a three-year-old, a fifth grader and the adult walking them around the block.
It arrives folded flat. Stand it up, give the cone a shake, and it holds its shape on its own.

Two bobby pins and it survives a running kid
Standing at a door it stays on by itself. For a kid who sprints between driveways, slide two bobby pins through the inside of the brim into the hair before you leave. That is the whole trick, and it takes ten seconds.
Over a hood, skip the pins and let the hood hold it. Want the cone perfectly upright for the porch photo? Roll a sheet of tissue paper into the tip.

Big stars, small stars, gold dust
The print mixes full stars with a scatter of fine gold speckle across the cone and the brim, so it reads from the end of the driveway and still holds up in a close photo on the doorstep.
Foil sits on top of the fabric, which is what makes it shine. It is also why this one is a spot-clean hat.
What it is made of
Lightweight woven polyester with a sewn brim edge, gold foil star print on both the cone and the brim.
One hat per order in the color you choose above. No lining, no wire, no sizing band.
Keeping it alive
Spot clean with a damp cloth and let it air dry. Skip the washing machine and the iron, because heat and tumbling lift the foil.
Store it flat or hang it by the brim. Creases from the box fall out within an hour of standing up.
Questions we get every October
Will it fit a four-year-old?+
Yes, and a fifth grader, and you. There is no band or elastic inside, so it rests on the head rather than gripping a size. On a very small head it sits a bit loose, which two bobby pins solve in ten seconds.
Will it stay on if they run?+
Standing at a door, yes. For a kid who sprints between driveways, slide two bobby pins through the inside of the brim into the hair before you leave, or let a coat hood hold it down. Both work, and the hood costs you nothing.
Can they wear it over a coat hood?+
That is the easiest way to wear it in cold weather. The brim is 15 inches across, so it sits over a hood without squashing it, and the hood holds the hat in place. No pins needed.
Is it safe for walking after dark?+
Nothing covers the face, so vision is not blocked at curbs and steps, and there are no cords, wires or small parts. The hat itself is fabric and not reflective, so for a dark street pair it with a light-up candy bucket or a strip of reflective tape on the coat. Orange, pink and red show up best under headlights. Keep it away from open flame, including jack-o'-lantern candles.
Will the gold stars flake off?+
Not from a night of wearing it. Foil lifts under heat and tumbling, so keep it out of the washer, the dryer and away from an iron. A damp cloth handles anything a walk around the block puts on it.
One choice and the costume is done
