A wood brimmed cap includes a rigid brim, a brim attachment member and a head covering. The brim is composed of a plurality of layers of a rigid material, such as wood. The brim includes a recess for attachment of a portion of the brim attachment member. The recess is covered by a bottom layer of the brim. The brim attachment member and the head covering are stitched and/or adhesively bonded to the brim.

A method of assessing perfume on hair comprising the following steps: a) first treating the hair with a composition comprising an encapsulated perfume; b) contacting the hair with a textile item; 5 c) removing and sniffing the textile item; and d) using the fragrance on the textile item to determine the fragrance of the hair.

A method of forming a plate for an article of footwear is disclosed. The method includes applying a first strand portion to a base layer including positioning adjacent segments of the first strand portion to form a first layer on the base layer. The adjacent segments of the first strand portion having a greater density across a width of the plate between a medial side and a lateral side at a midfoot region of the plate than at a forefoot region of the plate and at a heel region of the plate. The method also includes applying at least one of heat and pressure to the first strand portion and to the base layer to conform the first strand portion and the base layer to a predetermined shape.

A food and beverage tray head gear for conveniently carrying food and beverages hands free. The food and beverage tray head gear includes a hat having a crown and a brim disposed about the crown. The hat has a bottom with a head-receiving cavity disposed through the bottom and into the crown. The present invention also includes a tray removably supported upon the hat for carrying food and beverages.

Headwear positionable upon a head of a wearer has a front, a back, sides, and a generally circular open bottom. A band has a first section extending downwardly from the side of the headwear. The first section is folded upwardly and terminates in a second section with a free end. A snap separably couples the free end of the band to a section of the band above the bend thereby creating a chamber. A vibrator is positioned in the chamber over the temple of the wearer. A tilt switch is positioned in the chamber and is operatively coupled to the vibrator whereby a nodding wearer will tilt the tilt switch to activate the vibrator and awaken the wearer. Batteries operatively couple the vibrator and the tilt switch.

A light-weight heat-reflective substructure for a hat can be comprised of a semi-rigid bottom loop, top loop, two or more angled supports, and heat-reflective panels. The bottom loop can have a diameter commensurate with the size of the hat. The top loop can have a diameter commensurate with the diameter of the hat's crown. Each angled support can be coupled to the bottom and top loops, creating a three-dimensional frame. The angle that each angled support is coupled can be a minimum of fifteen degrees from a horizontal plane. The heat-reflective panels can couple to the angled supports of the frame, covering space between angled supports. The heat-reflective substructure can reduce an amount of thermal radiation transferred to the user by five percent or more as compared to wearing the hat without the heat-reflective substructure. Angling of the panels can increase an amount of surface area available for reflection.

The present invention provides hats with attachment assemblies allowing them to be detachably secured to an article of clothing. In one example, the attachment assembly permits the hat to be detachably secured in an exterior-side out configuration to a belt of medium width worn around the wearer's waist, without requiring the hats to be inverted or reversed, and without any need for pockets, linings, zippers or the like. The hats may also be provided with retention members for holding the hats in a simple folded configuration when carried on the person. In such a configuration small personal items such as keys, loose change, mobile telephones may be carried in the retained, folded hat.
