Thermal Properties of Different Hat Fiber Contents for Baby

---

Abstract

Knowing how important hats are for a baby, parents have to make sure their children always wear hats in cooler temperatures. Looking at a few mass-market retailers to see what fiber contents are often used for children hats, it can be seen Target often utilizes polyester and acrylic fiber contents. Kohl’s offers a majority of acrylic and synthetic blends. Walmart offers a variety of fabrics such as polyester, nylon, wool, and acrylic. With there being a wide range of fabrics for children's hats in the market, the researcher wanted to gain a better understanding of what fiber content is the best option for children's hats. Thus, the purpose of this research is to determine what specific fiber content would be best for children to keep their heads warm.
