Is this beanie warm enough for real winter?

It is a single-layer acrylic knit, so it handles cold commutes and mild winter days. For deep cold or long outdoor time, a wool or fleece-lined beanie keeps heat in better.

How does acrylic compare with a wool beanie?

Acrylic is lighter, cheaper to produce and holds its shape and color well. Wool is warmer, breathes better and resists odor more, but costs more and needs more careful washing.

Can the patch be removed?

The cotton patch is attached to the cuff, and the care notes say not to iron it. Treat it as a fixed part of the hat rather than something you swap out.

How should I wash it?

Hand-wash only, then air dry. Do not iron it, since heat can flatten or mark the acrylic knit and the patch.

What size head does it fit?

It is a one-size knit beanie listed at 7.5 inches wide by 8.5 inches high. The cuff folds, so it adjusts somewhat, but there is no sized fit.

Does it work as a branded giveaway hat?

Yes. The cotton cuff patch gives a clean spot for a logo, and the acrylic knit keeps the hat affordable in bulk. Embossing depth can vary because the fabric is pliable.
