Most of the beanies I look at are acrylic. How do these things behave?

we have tried this a bunch of times on a bunch of different beanies...and the results are always crap.  beanies stretch like crazy and are typically ribbed. transfers adhere poorly and deform. they tend to show press marks even with a bunch of bandaid solutions.  we just offer embroidery on these now.

Yeah, even before I read these responses, my wife had doubts, offered up her Sharks cap as a volunteer, and it was indeed crap.
