The headwear with integrated image projector comprises an image projector and a hat. The hat may be adapted to be worn upon a head of a wearer. The image projector may be coupled to the hat. The hat may project a projected image from the hat onto a viewing surface using the image projector. In some embodiments, the image projector may be coupled to a first position of the hat and the viewing surface may be a second position of the hat. As a non-limiting example, the first position may be the front of the hat bowl and the second position may be the top surface of the hat brim. In some embodiments, the hat having the image projector may comprise a wireless communication interface such that the image projector may communicate with an application program running on a wearer's smartphone.

A ball cap with a concealed opening that allows for a greater variety of hairstyles to be worn while simultaneously retaining the general shape, appearance, and functionality of a typical ball cap. The concealed opening is hidden in a default configuration of the hat, but it can be selectively opened to allow for hair such as a ponytail to pass through. The ball cap can include a protective coating on the sweatband to prevent makeup, sweat, and dirt from soiling the sweatband.

An adjustable headband bow includes an elongated strap and a loop encircling the strap. The strap has a first surface and a second surface, and tapers from a first end to a central portion and gradually widens from the central portion to a second end The strap is curved with the first end and the second end positioned next to each other. The first end is slidably passed through the loop in one direction and the second end is slidably passed through the loop in an opposite direction, forming a bow on a headband. The elongated strap and the loop tighten the headband responsive to tension on the first end and the second end. The headband adjusts to fit a wide range of head sizes.
