Our SAUCE Signature Toppers

Since the very beginning, we've delighted in the fact that our hats can be personalized with an added 'ingredient' for just the right look and feel. Added after production, our tassels and pompoms ("toppers") are securely tied to the top of the hat. They can be removed or replaced as desired.

While most tassels and pompoms survive a trip through the washing machine without serious consequence, we recommend removing them prior to washing your hat if you'd like to keep them looking pristine. Read below to find out how...

How to remove your traditional tassel or pompom.

1. Locate the Knot

Look inside your hat. At the top of the hat you'll see a bow or knot surrounded by eight little gathered loops.

2. Untie Strings

Untie the bow or knot at the top of the hat. Please keep in mind that in an effort to keep the topper from falling off the hat, we typically tie them quite securely.

3. Remove the Tassel/Pompom

Gently pull on the tassel or pompom from the outside of the hat. If the knot was fully untied, you should see the strings pull through the loops at the top of the hat.

How to re-attach your traditional tassel or pompom

1. Locate Holes

If you poke around the top of your hat from the outside, you'll discover eight holes that surround the center gather point. Find two holes that are opposite one another.

2. Thread Strings

Thread one attachment string from the tassel or pompom through each hole, from outside of the hat to end with the strings on the inside.

3. Secure Tassel/Pom to Hat

With medium tautness, tie the attachment strings together. Pull taut enough that the topper is tight to the top of the hat, but please note that the strings can break if pulled too tight. We usually choose a double bow.

Our NEW House-made Pompoms

In a continued effort to have as much of our production under one roof as possible, we decided it was time for us to make our own pompoms! Our pompom maker gives us exciting options for new sizes, colors and styles (think multicolor or rainbow!). We are thrilled with the change, but our new pompoms do look different from the pompoms we have been using for the past many years.

As we work through our existing pompom inventory there will be a transition period. There is a chance that your hat will have a new style pom, or an old style pom. And, if you order more than one item, it's possible that you'll see some of each. Change can be hard and we appreciate your understanding.

Where did your Flower Tassels go?

Recently, we made the difficult decision to retire our signature 'Flower Tassel'.

If you are a big fan of the flower tassel please know that we still have a few kicking around and you are welcome to make a special request on your order.

OR you can make your own! An instructional blog post can be found here.
