The technology disclosed herein provides a method and device for storing and transporting a hat that is compact and addresses the problem of attaching a hat to a carrier, for example a bag, without the primary use of friction or clamping force to secure the hat, as these tend to damage the hat. More specifically, the clipping apparatus attaches to the hat by utilizing features of the hat to create mechanical interlocks to secure the hat, as opposed to friction. Further the device is easily and repeatedly attachable and removable from a hat without causing damage to the hat.

A soft headgear is provided. The soft headgear includes a soft outer layer, an inner liner layer formed from an air permeable material, a rigid substructure disposed between the soft outer layer and the inner liner layer, an active ventilation system located at the crown of the soft headgear, and a power supply operably coupled to the active ventilation system. The rigid substructure includes a plurality of ribs extending radial from a crown of the soft headgear to a ring of the rigid substructure, thereby forming air conduction pathways. The active ventilation system exhausts air drawn in through the ring of the rigid substructure and out through the crown of the soft headgear. The power supply provides power for the active ventilation system.

A detachable veil device may include a support frame having a right temple support, a central support, and a left support. A veil, which may be configured for covering portions of the head of a wearer, may be coupled below and to the support frame. A first accessory fastener may be coupled to the right temple support, and a second accessory fastener may be coupled to the left temple support. Optionally, the device may comprise a nose cover which may be coupled to the central support. The device may be removably attached to a wearable accessory that may be worn by a wearer by removably attaching the accessory fasteners to the wearable accessory so that the veil may be positioned to cover portions of the head of a wearer by being supported by the wearable accessory that is being worn on the head of the wearer.

New articles of outerwear with measuring indicia enable both the wearer and others to make instrument-free measurements. The outer surface of the outerwear has measuring indicia in one or more location, and can measure angles in degrees and lengths in metric units or American Standard units. Every article has at least two or more measuring indicia, such as protractors, metric rulers, American Standard rulers, rulers in the shape of a bar chart, T-shaped rulers, X-shaped rulers, and bands of fixed lengths. Every article of outerwear also has a system of making instrument-free measurements of angles and lengths by making use of two or more measuring indicia positioned in different parts of the outerwear. Each indicia can operate independently or in combination with other indicia to measure greater lengths. This is achieved by moving parts of the body such that some of the indicia become aligned with one another.

Caps that are capable of being converted into protective face masks are provided. A cap can include a crown that can be placed over the face and that can be at least partially disconnected to provide a viewing aperture, and overlapping layers that cover the mouth and nose. The headband of the cap can be converted to straps for securing around the head. A visor can be configured to shade the eyes in both the cap configuration and the face mask configuration. A one-way breathing valve can be included in the crown to assist with breathing when the face mask is worn.

A multi-purpose protection mask for protecting the human face and head against viruses, bacteria, dust or environmental harsh impacts is presented. It has four elements. A face shield transparent sheet covers comfortably the user's face providing adequate space for freely breathing and wearing glasses. A removable and replaceable filter mask element which is a multi-layer filter piece of a proper material affixed over an opening window in the face shield. A ventilator for draining and filtering the exhalation air and humidity before dumping into the atmosphere and it consists of exhaust fans, suction tubes, suction vents, and exit filters. The ventilator prevents condensation of fogging on the face shield and glasses. Another element is a head cover mask made of a fabric material affixed to the face shield element. Fastener strips means are provided for keeping the face shield comfortable and stable on the wearer's face.

An interior surface storage structure for headgear is provided. The structure comprises a headgear, a plurality of contiguous panels disposed in a circular manner around an interior surface of the headgear, each panel separated from its immediately adjacent panel. The structure also comprises at least one pair of contiguous panels covered by fabric at panel edges to form a compartment, a panel edge along a circumference edge of the headgear open and providing access to the compartment. The structure also comprises a binding mechanism positioned at the panel edge along the circumference edge enabling compartment sealing, the binding mechanism concealed by a headband. The headgear alternatively does not have panels on the interior surface and the pocket enclosure is attached to the interior surface and to the circumference edge with binding mechanism concealed. Up to four pocket enclosures are installable on either side and in various configurations of the quadrants.
