The Ultimate 3-Month Test: Is the Wholecustomdesign Luxury Fleece Lined Beanie Worth It?

Finding a winter hat that is both genuinely warm and stylish can be a challenge. Most warm hats tend to look bulky, while most stylish ones often let the cold wind right through. I decided to put a hat that promised both to the test: the New Luxury Rhinestone Winter Hat from Wholecustomdesign.

This is my detailed timeline review of this specific fleece-lined beanie for women. I purchased the dark pink color and have been using it for 90 days (three full months). I'll break down everything from the moment I opened the package to how it looks after multiple washes.

Don't buy a luxury beanie before reading this review. This hat is an investment, and you need to know exactly what you're getting.

I decided to explore the beanies section from Wholecustomdesign, specifically looking at the sub_category that included this luxury option. Here’s how it performed.

Day 1: First Impressions

The package arrived quickly, and unboxing it felt exciting. The hat is visually striking. The dark pink color is rich and doesn't look cheap. The angora rabbit fur blend gives the surface a fluffy, soft appearance.

My first step was to check the rhinestones, which are usually the weak point on decorated items. I gently ran my finger over the pattern. The stones felt securely attached, and the glue was clear and not messy. This gave me confidence in the quality right away.

Next, I checked the inside. The entire hat is lined with thick, soft fleece. The fleece lining is the main reason I chose this style. It completely covers the inside from the rim to the very top, which is critical for real winter warmth.

The hat fit well. My head measures about 57cm, and the 54-60cm size range was accurate. It was snug enough to stay put without being tight enough to cause a headache.

Verdict: Excellent initial quality and visual appeal. I was cautious about the long-term staying power of the sparkle.

Week 1: Getting Used to It

I wore the hat nearly every day during the first week. Temperatures ranged from 40°F down to 25°F. The warmth was immediate and noticeable. Thanks to the double layer created by the knit and the fleece, the wind didn't cut through the hat at all.

I made two important observations in Week 1:

  1. Initial Shedding: Since the hat uses angora rabbit fur, it shed a tiny bit for the first two days. This is normal for natural fibers like this. It was just a few dark pink hairs on my black coat, and it stopped completely by Day 5.
  2. Washing Test: I hand-washed the hat carefully at the end of the week using cold water and gentle wool detergent. I laid it flat to dry, a crucial step for any hat with embellishments. The hat dried perfectly and kept its shape. The fleece did not bunch up inside.
