Autism Awareness Do Rag

Eugene reached out, looking for someone to craft do rags from his custom Autism Awareness material after losing touch with another source. He mailed the material and included a note with photos of his bike, which featured the same custom graphics. Wow, outstanding!

We made and sent out three do rags, complete with pictures and tracking. Eugene will be attended a big Autism awareness event and will look great!

Friend’s Hair Bag Prompts Me to Get Some

The website order for a pair of hair bags in the scrub caps style came in and, when asked how he heard about the hair bags, Dan replied, “A friend of mine from NM has one he uses when on his motorcycle. I saw it an decided I needed some also.”

After receiving them, Dan reached out for more, “I’m looking to get another Hair bag or 2. Size Regular – Scrub Cap Style Hair Bags. I’m looking for a Blaze Orange Color, and possibly a US Navy themed one also.”

After much searching for the blaze orange and confirming the US Navy, Dan’s newest hair bags were created. Dan got 3 in orange and a US Navy hair bag in the scrub cap style.

Do Rags for Jane

Jane got her first do rag at a show in western Kansas. She liked it so much she made the trip to get her second one at the Cassoday Bike Run. It had sugar skulls and she stopped for a pic.

It was when she saw a picture of me in my boonie hat in the scarlet Macaw that she reached out to me for another one in something like that for her next do rag. I sent her a link and her project was under way. When I sent it, I asked if I was remembering correctly that she had gotten her 2nd do rag from me at Cassoday and she replied, “Hi Becky, yes you are remembering correctly.  I love this new do rag. You did an awesome job. Yes I will try to get a picture and post it.  Thank you so much for helping me find the perfect fabric for you to work with.  I hope you have great success with the show you are doing now.”

Hair Bags Work for Welder Alondra

Hello, I was wondering if the leaf print hair bag do rag (attached below) was out of stock. I took the screenshot on February 1st and I don’t seem to find it just now when I looked for it on the website. Hope to hear from you soon!” wrote Alondra. Truly, the hair bag she wanted had just sold the day before and there was no more material to make another one. I dashed off a few links for her to find some material. “They look great! I am considering another fabric. Just making sure its in stock. I’ll get back to you when I have made up my mind on the fabric!” She to her first hair bag with strawberries on it. 

When I sent her pics and the tracking number, I asked how she learned about my hair bags. “Thank you so much! It looks amazing! I learned about it through google. I was looking for a bonnet but to weld. When I seen your website I just knew I had to try it. I look forward to using it at work. Thank you again!”

That was just the thing I need to suggest she might like to go with the big hair bag in the future for more coverage. After she received it, she did note, “I was wondering if you can make 1 just a tad bit bigger in the headband area. Thru out the shift my ears do start hurting considering i do tuck them in. The back and bag part is perfect. The area that surrounds the forehead and the ears is what is giving me an issue. I’ve tried tying it loosely but it still bothers me a bit. Let me know what you think.” I offered to exchange, but she decided to keep that for comparison as she had been wearing it and selected another material. That new tuttle on in the big size worked better.

It wasn’t long and Alondra suggested making a slight modification on the lenght of the side and ordered a new pair of hair bags after selecting some more material. The seafood and cow hair bags turned out to be good additions to her hair bag colletion.

A month later, I asked how the adapted big hair bags were working for her and her reply, “So far so good! They’ve been holding up great as well!” Glad to have the opportunity to work with Alondra on these projects.

RV Old Welding Cap Gets Replaced

Worn Out Welding Cap Gets Replaced

Ron got his welding cap in 2017 and it was at the ABATE of KS state meeting in March 2020 that he made a special point of telling me how much he really appreciated using my cap. He said, “I use it every day at work and really like it. Of course I turn the bill around to the back so it will be out of the way, but it always stays just fine. I really like the hat!” By 2023, it was totally worn out when he decided he’d really like to get a replacement.

I reminded him that he could wash it if he would like, but he said, “I wear it in the shop and it gets covered with crud so I just hand wash it in the sink every once in awhile in some heavy duty degreeser and rinse.”

He let me take a picture of the old and the new welding cap. Glad he got a replacement. He knows where he can get another replacement when this one wears out in a few years.

Hair Bag Protection from Singed Ends

Avery reached out for a hair bag to protect her hair, “Hello, my name’s Avery. I stumbled apon your hair bag do rags and was wondering if they could be made of heat resistant materials? I’m a welder with long hair and don’t like getting dead or singed ends, especially doing overhead positions.” After talking over some possibilities and checking out some material links, she decided on a hair bag with basset hounds.

Welding Cap Keeps Sweat Out of Eyes

Michaeline reached out to me for more, “My husband purchased one of ur welding caps at the Festival of the Little Hills in St Charles Mo either last year or two years ago. He absolutely loves it. He is interested in purchasing two more caps, however he cannot find his size on ur website.” No problem. Sent her pics of material from my stash and she selected 2 so the project was on its way.

Once she received them she sent pics, “My husband, Steve, just received ur welding caps. He really likes them. He’s retired and works outside in our yard and wears these caps to keep the sweat out of his eyes. Here’s a few pictures of ur caps…

Thank u very much!”

Do Rag Fits and Keeps Me Warm on Cool Days

“I wanted a large light weight cap to keep warm on cool days. “One Size fits Many” didn’t include me. Rawls-Riley Creations was the only website I found to offer different sizes, plus they actually give the sizes based on standard measurements. Not finding a do-rag in a pattern I liked, I called and talked to Becky Rawls-Riley. It was a friendly, easy conversation and I got choices that suited me. Several quick emails later, my cap was being made and mailed including a tracking number. I received it before the given delivery date. It’s just what I was looking for. Working with Becky is easy and a pleasure. She is the best of a small business. Becky – Thank you!”

Do Rag Coolness on Long Hot Rides

Mentioned about the terry in the band keeping him cooler and that if it was a hot day he could wet it down to be even better when I sent out his do rag to Richard. He replied, “Great product I ride in a club and sometimes we are on the road over ten hours at a time. South Texas is hot during this time your note was helpful.

I Can Never Get It Tied Tight Enough

After getting three skull caps at the Bikes, Blues & BBQ Rally in 2017, the next year Bill reached out to get another skull cap and it was at the 2019 January meeting for ABATE of KS that we connected next. He got his new skull cap to match his green motorcycle. He said, “It really stays on my head. I can’t tell you how many do rags I have lost to the wind. I can never get them tied tight enough to keep them on.”

He selected the money on black skull cap for his fourth one. How perfect, bills for Bill.

Still prefer a do rag? Press here to check those out.

Baker LOVES Hair Bag®

At the 2016 SantaCaliGon Days, she explained that she owns a bakery in Topeka and makes lots of cakes so it’s flour and more flour. She was glad to see how easy it was to put on the hair bag® and all the coverage it would provide for her hair. But, it is the heat from the ovens that can make it a warm place when everything gets going so it was the enclosed terry in the band that absolutely would work.

In 2017, at the Wamego Tulip Festival, she stopped to say she LOVES the hair bag® do rag! it was very good to have the baker stop and share how much she enjoys the way the hair bag is working for her. She tells everyone how much she likes it. This time she selected the white lace hair bag and looked great in her picture.

“Best hair bags and products I’ve found. Quality is key here!! Becky is top-notch, very helpful, and kind! I have been buying hair coverings from her for several years now to use in My Bakery “Miss Roxy’s Bakery” Great investment and they wash up so nice!!!! A must-have for anyone looking for hair coverings, hats, welding caps, or under your motorcycle helmet (which I have as well). Thanks Becky for always taking such good care of me and my Bakery needs! You’re the best!!!” I was happy to get the comment on a video post and had to share it. I always enjoy working with you and having you stop by at my shows, Roxy. Many thanks.

Baker Transitions to Skull Cap

In 2018, Roxy learned about the release of the welding caps via the opt-in show emails and reached out to get a big one for her husband for mowing the lawn. While it didn’t turn out to be something he liked for that job, Roxy began to wear it after she cut her hair short.

She stopped by at the Wamego Tulip Festival that spring and got a skull cap for her baking. It was in the XL size just like the welding cap, but she really felt the bill was not necessary so the skull cap should work better. Press here for the welding caps and here for the skull caps.

Roxy continues to stop by to see me at the shows and I’m always glad to reconnect. Press here to see the show schedule and opt-in to receive those emails, too.

 

Welder Thrilled with Hair Bag for Dreadlocks

Tricia A., of D & T Metal Arts, got her first hair bag® do rag with the black pirate skulls on black at the Maple Leaf Festival. The next time we connected was at the Garnett BPW Square Fair. She could not wait to tell me how truly happy she was with her welding cap. I was thrilled when she shared pictures in her second one showing how all of her dreadlocks really do fit in it. She said, “All this gets tucked into my awesome welding cap.”

It was good to see BarePhat in Independence KS at Neewollah. Brian had gotten a fisherman cap from us last year and Stacey shared that he wears it all the time. This year she wanted to be sure to find one she could use.

She stopped by to check a couple of times that day and kept coming back to the slouchy beanies. It was the flowered one that had an antique look in a soft velvet that would work for her. So pretty with her beautiful hair.

I snapped her picture and go it out to her. Her reply read, “Love, love this hat!!! So comfy and cool looking and fabric is beautiful and soft! Just feels great on. Thank you again.😊 💗

Really like the BarePhat myself and picked more at the show. Learn more about BarePhat at https://barephat.net/ and https://www.facebook.com/BarePhat/
