WHICH CRAZYHEADS ARE YOU?

PUNCH BRAND PREMIERES A NEW LINE OF CUTE ANIMAL FLEECE HATS AT THE 2006 ANIME FAN EXPO

Punch Brand is the manufacturer of cute things. Crazyheads is all about being fun and unique. There’s sure to be a Crazyheads hat to suit each person’s unique style.

Toronto, ON. (August 17, 2006) – Punch Brand makes its second appearance at the Toronto Fan Expo on Sept 1. CN Anime is Canada’s largest anime/manga event. This year they will show all 10 styles of cute animal ear hats. Most popular styles include: Black Cat, Black Bunny, White Bunny, Fox, and Panda. The newest styles are Red Devil, Black Devil, Dog, Brown Bear and White Cat. Punch Brand will be located in the artists’ alley section at Metro Toronto Convention Center, South Building. Show dates are Sept 1-3, 2006.

“These hats are great for wearing on the slopes, anime conventions or just anywhere you want to stand out.” said Glynis Tao, creative director for Punch Brand. "Most hats in this market have character faces on them. It’s nice to have a generic hat you can customize or wear on the street and not just at conventions”.

The manga/anime fan base has grown substantially in the past several years. Almost every major city in North America hosts an anime convention. They draw hundreds of thousands of anime fans and enthusiasts. One distinguishing factor about anime conventions is the enormous turn out rate of attendees wearing costumes of their favourite characters. Crazyheads hats are the perfect compliment to these fans’ costumes.

Not only are Crazyheads hats extremely cute, they are also practical, warm and durable. They are made of 100% polyester polar fleece. This means the hats are very stretchy and can fit most adult size heads. Each hat is manufactured with very high quality standards and most importantly made to last. In the winter, they keep the wearer’s head warm and toasty. Another important feature is that the hats are made in Canada. “Keeping the jobs in Canada is very important to us,” says Glynis.

Crazyheads hats are sold at many retailers across Canada and the U.S.A. specializing in manga/anime.

Punch Brand is headquartered in Richmond Hill, ON, Canada. It is a leading North American designer, marketer and distributor of specialty apparel and headwear under the Punch Brand and Crazyheads brands.
