LIDS FOR KIDS
Morgan's Lids for Kids
These one-of-a-kind hats were specifically designed to keep one's neck warm with-out having to worry about a scarf falling off and leaving the neck exposed to the bitter winter cold, or worse, having the scarf choke the kid!

There are no gaps between a hat and a scarf allowing chilly air to sneak in. This unique, hand-made lid keeps the warmth in and the cold out.
  • Nice and warm!
  • Reversible.
  • So soft!
  • Kids love'em!
  • Hand made!
  • Big variety of styles.
  • No strings, zippers.
  • Adults like'em, too.
  • Good for hunting, skiing, snowmobiling.
