The description
A soft, standard, seasonal Santa Claus, red hat with white brim, bought on sale at a pop up Flying Tiger Copenhagen pop up store in Maruhiro Kawagoe.
The good
Unless you get a high quality or character branded Santa Claus hat, I find they are pretty standard across stores. Even the 100 yen store's Santa Claus hats are relatively 'good' quality, but what I liked about the Flying Tiger Copenhagen Santa hat is it feels a little less rough than the 100 yen store's Santa Claus hats. The finish is also marginally better to the touch, but to look at , it just looks like a better quality overall. The size of this red and white Santa Claus hat is good for a child, but tight on my western adult head!
The not so good
As above, the fit is tight for an adult head, so this particular Santa Claus hat is not really suitable for an adult or teenager. It is just right for a child of elementary school age. I bought this Santa Claus red and white hat on sale at Flying Tiger Copenhagen. The sale price was 200 yen. However, this product is normally 450 yen. Therefore, if it was not on sale for 200 yen I probably wouldn't have bought it and just got one in the 100 yen store instead. Like the 100 yen store's ones, this hat probably won't endure the test of time. However, if I get two to three years out of it, like I have with 100 yen store ones in the past, I'll be happy!
