We all scream for ice cream! I took one of my favorite ice cream flavors (Ben & Jerry’s - Chubby Hubby) and translated it into a wearable design. This hat is deliciously sweet and salty (which is hands-down the best combination), packed with peanut butter swirls and pretzels! Choose a regular brim or a super warm folded brim and then if you’re a cherry-on-top kinda person, top it all off with a classic pompom!
