Aja hat is a part of my Truly Outrageous collection, a 5 pattern hat collection. Each hat will be inspired by a different member from Jem and the Holograms. If you’d rather buy the full collection, you can currently get a discount on the collection. With each release of a new hat, the price will go up.

Aja features short row ear flaps that create just enough coverage for the ears without getting too much in the way!
