A head covering garment comprising two exterior components and a stretchable band. The garment is formed by folding a rectangular stretchable material in half and sewing side edges, except for a small portion which is left unattached, to create a stretchable band. Next, at least two exterior components are then sewn to the top and bottom edge portions of the stretchable material. The exterior components and the stretchable material are pulled through the opening left at the unattached portion in the stretchable material and is finally sewn to form the finished garment. The additional versions of comprise of an opening in the stretchable band, a slip proof material, a storage strap, and a hairline treatment strip insert.

An extender for an outerwear is described. The extender includes a first section and a second section. The first section provides a tapered first side and a substantially straight second side. The second section provides a tapered first side and a substantially straight second side. The extender also includes a fastening arrangement adapted to removably secure the second side of the first section to the second side of the second section. The extender also includes an anchoring arrangement arranged on the first side of the first section and the first side of the second section. The anchoring arrangement is adapted to removably secure the first section and the second section to first and second seams of the outerwear.

A system of hoods built into hooded hunting garments, which makes the hunting garment multifunctional for concealment, or for high visibility safety. The hood system consists of an outer hood that is drab or camouflage, matching the garment itself, for the purpose of concealment, and an inner hood that is blaze color or blaze camouflage, for the purpose of high visibility safety. The hunter can quickly, easily, and quietly alternate on demand in the field, between functions of concealment or safety by selecting how the hoods are worn and exposed, without having to remove the entire garment from the body, or detach/reattach components, to do so. The hoods and garment's functions can be altered with one hand, and without removing hand coverings. The system of hoods creates a single multifunctional hunting garment that replaces the need for two distinct garments for specific hunting applications.

A hat or visor incorporates magnetic inserts that secure various attachments. The hat includes a crown, a bill secured to the crown, and a plurality of magnets embedded in the bill across a width of the bill. Exemplary attachments may include lights, fishing gear, tools and the like.

The present invention relates to a hood for use in a garment that deploys/retracts easily and retracts unobtrusively. Such a hood can improve the stackability of the hood or a garment incorporating such a hood. Therefore, the teachings herein cover both a garment with such a hood, and such a hood for attachment to a garment. The hood comprises: (a) a first edge and a second edge, at least a portion of the second edge being opposite the first edge; and (b) a first seam disposed between the first edge and the second edge, wherein the first seam does not extend from the first edge or the second edge and does not extend to the first edge or the second edge. The second seam and the first seam can form a shape such as a T-shape, a Y-shape, an arrow-shape, or a shape substantially similar thereto.

A workout towel and hood combination is disclosed. An example workout towel includes a body configured to be worn down around the person's neck as a workout towel, and separately to be worn up over the person's head as a hood. The example workout towel and hood combination also includes a fastener on the body for connecting two substantially opposite portions of the body together around a person's neck. The example workout towel and hood combination also includes a hem along a first edge of the body. The example workout towel and hood combination also includes a cord provided in the hem, the cord to be fastened around the person's chin when worn as the hood.

Aspects herein are directed to an article of headwear having a first layer of material formed from a polyester yarn, a second layer of material formed from a polyester yarn, and an absorbent layer positioned between the first layer of material and the second layer of material at a front of the article of headwear. The article of headwear is configured to temporarily store perspiration produced by a wearer's forehead area and transport the perspiration to the sides and back of the article of headwear where it can subsequently evaporate or be harmlessly released.
