The combination of a headwear piece having: a) a crown with a wall having an inside surface bounding a space for receiving a part of a wearer's head; and b) a rim/bill projecting from a forward region of the crown; and an accessory having a body with a thickness between front and rear sides and made from a material that substantially blocks migration of moisture therethrough. The accessory has an array of small openings extending through the body thickness to provide for air passage. The accessory is configured to be placed in an operative position against the inside surface of the crown wall at the forward region of the crown to reduce contaminant transmission from a wearer's head to the inside surface of the crown wall at the forward region.

The disclosure relates to headwear, the headwear including a hat body and a size adjustment mechanism positioned along a flap in an interior of the hat body, where the size adjustment mechanism includes a cord extending along a first side of the flap and having a first end fixedly attached to the interior of the hat body and a second end removably attachable to a second side of the flap via a fastener. The headwear is lightweight, devoid of any rigid or bulky components and is configured to bend or flex at any portion of the headwear without permanently deforming the headwear.

Embodiments include a cap or hat decoration method by providing a press including a lower platen and upper platen, and coupling a pad to the lower platen, where the pad is dimensioned based on one or more dimensions of the cap or hat, and positioning the cap or hat onto at least a portion of the pad. Further, the method includes positioning at least one decoration onto at least a portion of the cap or hat, where the at least one decoration includes a heat-activated adhesive, and heating and compressing the decoration onto the cap or hat by compressing the cap or hat and decoration between the lower platen and upper platen.

A method of forming a plate for an article of footwear 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.
