  • Jan 2016 - Present

  STORY FlapJacks grew straight from a mother’s heart. Named after our Founder’s son Jack, this line of reversible products can be flipped like a pancake. As a mom, Jacqueline knew how important it was for children to cover their heads in both warm and cold weather. When Jack refused to wear a hat, it was time to put the fun in functional! With the invention of a unique line of parent-approved toppers, Jack forgot all about hats and became a parrot or a pirate, a lion or a monkey, a shark or a crocodile depending on the day. There was no limit to his imagination!
