A convertible hat is disclosed. The convertible hat of the present invention comprises: a band (110) coupled to the head of a user; and a brim (120) provided horizontally in a certain area on the front surface of the band (110) to block sunlight. Furthermore, the convertible hat of the present invention preferably includes a pair of shape transformation crowns (130, 130a) that each have one end coupled to the band (110) and the other end spread out over the band (110), and are positioned in either a cap position in which the crowns cover the head of the user, or a sun cap position in which the crowns extend from the side surface of the brim (120) to increase the sun blocking area of the brim (120). Accordingly, a single convertible hat can be used by transforming into the two forms of a cap and a sun cap.

A wearable hat/head garment which can be made up of many braided facets of materials. The process of the flip action, braided materials are stitched together in a circular direction at or to the degrees of 0 to 90 degree angles. The 45-degree angle produces a roll motion, which allows the braids to change the position in which they are. To include the design has an opening at the top and bottom, which give an automatic versatility in styles once flipped upside down and inside out. These hats are created in array of colors and not limited to future colors, fabrics and trims. The hat/head garment collapses into a flat position for storage.
