Disclosed here is an extended use mask hat. The principal components are a hat member, a mask member and an attachment means. Under conditions where there is no desire for protection, the mask member can be easily stored against the interior surface of the hat member. When there is a desire for protection, the mask member can be easily and quickly donned. The service period of the mask hat is extendable by washing. Several technological problems are overcome, including, individual and community protection from the airborne spread of infectious disease in a manner that is effective, not noxious to human sensibility and not overly bearing.

Disclosed herein is a headgear. The headgear includes a first attachment portion and a second attachment portion. The first attachment portion is on one side of the headgear. The first attachment portion is proximate a headband of the headgear. The second attachment portion is on a second side of the headgear. The second attachment portion is proximate the headband of the headgear. The first and second attachment portions are configured such that loops extending from a face mask may be removably connected thereon.

A face shield and head covering combination is provided. The head covering comprises a body and an attachment element. The body defines a head opening configured to receive a user's head therethrough. The attachment element is coupled to the body and configured to couple to a face shield positionable on the user's face. The attachment element is configured to transition between a first position on the body and a second position on the body, wherein the second position is spaced from the first position.

In an illustrative embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a system for releasably securing a face mask to a fabric hat, including a number of pin and socket cleats, each including a fastener surface for releasably retaining a strap of a face mask. Two or more cleats may be positioned to releasably engage the face mask to a surface of the hat when not being worn. Two or more cleats may be used to releasably retain the strap of the face mask to a face of a wearer during use. The face mask, cleats, and/or hat may each include a coordinating aesthetic design such as a logo or team emblem.

A holder for a feather has a coil portion. The coil portion has a center axis, an exterior, and an interior. The interior of the coil portion is configured to receive a shaft of the feather inserted into the coil portion along the center axis. The holder has a socket cup connector portion extending from the coil portion. The socket cup connector portion has an inner leg having a first region extending axially relative to the coil portion, and a second region extending in a direction away from the inner leg first region and away from the exterior of the coil portion. The inner leg first region is spaced from the exterior of the coil portion at a distance such that the inner leg first region and the exterior of the coil portion are resiliently engageable with a wall of a socket cup when the holder is releasably attached to the socket cup.
