I came across a fun product that I thought I would share with you.
I am not being compensated for this in any way. I just really enjoyed their presentation that I saw at a Christmas show last year and asked them if I could share their video with you.
They have a great web site with more videos but I will go with the one that I saw originally.
They are called Pook Toques and they are so cute and fun and so are the demonstrators. You don’t just buy a Pook Toque you learn how to wear one. Have a look.
These guys say it best…..taken from their own website……..As can easily be guessed, yes, alcohol was involved. One night while Tony's mouth was running a little too freely from the talking juice, a friend picked up one of his traditional Canadian wool socks from the floor, threw it at Tony, and told him to "put a sock in it". Instead of in it, Tony put it on it, on his head. Wearing the sock around the apartment while consuming some more of Uncle Tom's magic cough syrup, Tony's creative juices got flowing. Somehow he was able to envision a toque made from these socks and thought it would be a good gag for the upcoming Christmas season. A visit to Walmart° for some socks, a local fabric shop for some fleece, and a few hours tutorial from his mother on the family sewing machine, soon Tony had a working prototype of the Pook Toque'. It took a few bags of socks wasted to get the right sizing of the cuts, but finally the toque came to its present form, and what a toque it is. The original demand Tony received from friends and relatives that found it to be a great toque got Tony to thinking there might be enough crazy people out there willing to wear it.
You can also download the instruction guides. Now how many hats do you know of that come with a guide on how to wear it. It is a different look every day. Stop in and visit their fun website and tell them Lori sent you.
I am in no way affiliated with this company nor am I receiving any compensation for this post. I just like to share fun things with you.
Thanks for the tip post...I will check it out

ReplyDeleteHi Lori,
ReplyDeleteThis is too funny! The funniest part, is that he takes it so seriously. I would be laughing during my demonstration. I actually really like this item, so many things to do with it. If I purchase one, I'm sure I would memorize all the features, and give a demonstration to everyone I met that asked me about the hat. ;)
I'm crazy like that.
Thanks for sharing this.

So west coast (my home and native land).... i have lived here in the east (Ontario)for only 11 yrs and i think that hat is too down to earth for here. No mall brand name for the kids.....
ReplyDeleteBUT I LOVE IT...would look great with my red plaid flannel shirt, grey wool work socks with my jeans tucked in and berkinstocks!
Interesting. I'm thinking my son and son in law need one of these.
ReplyDeleteFirst time seeing so many styles on a hat!What a hoot! LOL I would have laughed through the whole thing! XD But I prefer big wooly hats myself! :P
