Patent attributes
Headwear such as a cap includes a crown defining an opening for receiving the head of a wearer, a brim joined to the crown defining the front thereof, and an unoccluded aperture in the crown adjacent the brim for allowing an accumulation of hair to extend therethrough. The brim is positioned for providing shade for the wearer's face and the aperture is positioned adjacent the brim for allowing an accumulation of hair to extend therethrough and be deflected by the brim without permitting airflow through the aperture into the cap. A reinforced border region of the crown ensures that the cap will assume a desired position while worn by a wearer. The brim may be fastened to the crown rearward of the aperture in such a way to allow relative movement between the crown and the brim. The cap may also be constructed so that the brim is removably fastened to the crown.
