A lid liner adapted for use as an add-on for a garment such as a hat or cap. The inventive lid liner is a removable multilayer construction of absorbent material adapted for easy manual removal without the use of scissors or tools of any kind. The lid liner includes: a first wicking layer, a second absorbent layer, a third water repellent layer and a fourth adhesive layer for retaining the layer of absorbent material between a wearer and the garment. The first, second, third and fourth layers are disposed in adjacent parallel relation whereby the first layer has first and second edges thereof that extend at least partially over the second and third layers and terminate on and are secured by the fourth adhesive layer. The material is positioned in the cap or hat to absorb perspiration from the wearer and thereby protect the garment. In the illustrative embodiment, a protective strip of paper is removed from the adhesive layer and the multilayer construction is positioned inside the garment such that it is retained by the adhesive layer to the garment in a position at which the multilayer construction is positioned between the head of a wearer and the garment when the garment is placed on the head of the wearer.

A ball cap is provided that has a crown that has a highest crown point located in a vertical direction and a lowest crown point located in the vertical direction. A brim extends forward of the crown in a longitudinal direction of the ball cap, and the brim extends in the vertical direction to a highest brim point. The highest brim point is closer to the highest crown point in the vertical direction than to the lowest crown point in the vertical direction. In other versions of the ball cap, a crown is provided in the ball cap and in yet further versions portions of the crown can be covered by the brim.

Described herein are sweat-diverting devices which can be adhered to a wearer by an adhesive. The sweat-diverting devices described here may be adhered over a portion of the face without circumscribing the head. Such sweat-diverting devices may comprise one or more curves or other features that conform to the facial features of the wearer. In some variations, a sweat-diverting device is configured to be worn at various heights on the forehead, over or under the brow line, and/or over the eyes. A sweat-diverting device can also be used in pairs, for example, where one device is positioned over each eye. Sun-shading devices, with or without sweat-diverting features, are also described.

A hat including a crown with a base. An outer headband layer is affixed to the crown at the base by a base seam that extends around a circumference of the crown. an inner headband layer is affixed to the outer headband layer at a position opposite the base to define a circumferential pocket between the outer headband layer and the inner headband layer. A rail has a T-shaped cross section disposed in the pocket. The T-shaped cross section is defined by a stem and an arm. The rail is affixed to the outer headband layer and the inner headband layer by a first rail seam through the stem, the outer headband layer, and the inner headband layer. The rail is further affixed to the outer headband layer by a second rail seam only through the outer headband layer and the stem. A bill has a track with a figure four shaped cross section affixed thereon. The track has a channel that receives and retains the rail therein to guide the bill around the crown.
