Jax Hats {review+giveaway}



Ready for a innovative, eco-friendly shop?






Meet Jax Hats, a shop full of earth friendly hats for all! These hats are made from upcycled sweaters, cotton shirts, and other fun fabrics that coordinate for a unique and stylish hat! They are truly saving the world from ugly sweaters :) I love that the shop sells the hats at up to 50% off the stores retail price, so you'll be getting a great deal! And with the quality and how cute these are, you can't go wrong! You can also check out the huge selection of hats at Jaxhats.com too! I'm sure you'll find a combination you'll love!









The wonderful Jackie, the creator of these little lovelies, is a very green woman at heart. She is a self taught seamstress who loves to experiment with different styles and out of the box designs. She creates everything from reusing clothes and fabric, including kids clothes! Everything on the hat is recycled -- the brim, the lining, the little cotton zinger, but you wouldn't know it when you put one on! They are comfy, lightweight, stylish, all things you would never imagine with recycled clothing. That adorable little button you see? A handmade piece of polymer clay button -- art for your hat!








It doesn't stop there either! She also offers team colors, where she can customize a hat to whichever team you are rooting for! I love her new line called Warm Memories, where you can send her an old sweater of yours or a loved ones, and she'll create a hat just for you! Wouldn't that be perfect for outgrown baby stuff?






Sweet Jackie has offered this beautiful blue Jax Hat up for a giveaway at The Ivy Twines! Yay!
