The inner lining may incorporate recycled water bottles to achieve advantageous sun protective properties. A closure mechanism may be provided along a rear body portion, near a tensive brim seam joining the brim portion to the body portion, so that in a closed condition the closure mechanism maintains the shape of the headwear while adjusting its fitting so as to be suitable across a wide range of head sizes. The sun protective headwear system may also include a packable pouch dimensioned and adapted to be crushably folded when the packable pouch houses the headwear.

For example, the headwear may include a headwear body including a crown, and a hat brim extending from the crown, the hat brim including one or more slits forming a hinge on an underside of the hat brim for folding the hat brim, each slit being reinforced with bias material along each edge of the slit and a center webbing over an opening formable under the slit when the brim is in a folded position, the bias material being coupled to an inner surface of each edge of the slit.

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.
