Hats including hair ports are disclosed herein. One hat includes a first portion, a second portion, and a set of straps coupling the first portion and the second portion. Here, the set of straps, the first portion, and the second portion create a set of ports located at a rear portion of the hat that extends from a crown of the hat to a bottom of the hat. Further, at least one port in the set of ports includes a size that allows the hair of a person wearing the hat to be placed there through.

A protective headgear having a protective outer layer, an inner impact dispersing layer, an opening in the posterior of the helmet to allow hair to exit the protective helmet, and juxtaposed to the posterior opening, a flap that covers a portion of the opening and is selectively attachable to the inner impact attenuating layer.

A long hair protector apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a headwear and at least one hair sheath for protecting long hair in either a pigtail or ponytail configuration. The headwear is dimensioned and adapted to be worn on the head of a human wearer, wherein the headwear has a tail portion and a band portion, each providing detachable first fasteners. The tail portion is near the rear neck of the wearer, while the band portion extends around the front of the head, providing the detachable first fasteners near each ear of the wearer, and wherein the band portion provides distal portions for tying together so as to further secure the headwear to the wearer. The hair sheath(s) may be removably attached to the tail portion in the ponytail configuration or to the band portions providing the pigtail configuration.

A protective head gear with a substantially hemi-spherically shaped portion intended to be worn over hair on the head of a wearer and including at least one opening therein large enough to accommodate a bundle of hair passing through the opening and means for securing the cap to the bundle of hair. An a fixed mechanism is attached to the cap body around the perimeter of the opening to compress the aperture containing the bundle of hair and hold the bundle of hair and the cap body in a fixed relationship. The fixed mechanism includes an O-ring attached to the cap body along the perimeter of the opening and a drawstring passed through the interior. The drawstring may be drawn to gather the sleeve to compress the bundle of hair. Two clamps are locked to the drawstring in a drawn disposition to hold the aperture gathered about the bundle of hair.

One example hat may include a cinch hole in a top portion of the hat with an opening surrounded by a closed loop pocket which houses a drawstring that exits the closed loop pocket in a same location or a substantially close location.

The invention is an article of headwear that incorporates a hair compression system and adjustment system for compressing one or more sections of a wearer's hair. The headwear may be formed of a crown, a compression system, and an adjustment system. The compression system includes one or more stretchable materials that form the inner layer of the crown. The compression system may compress along a horizontal, diagonal and/or vertical plane of the head of a wearer. The compression system is attached to an adjustment system often at the back of the headwear which can be attached to the crown. The adjustment system allows a user to manually tighten the compression system to a desired pressure to keep the hair of the user compressed while the user wears the headwear. The desired hair compression is capable of being regulated by the adjustment system. When the user is finished wearing the headwear, the adjustment system may be released to allow the user to remove the headwear without undoing the effects of the compression system.

A single strap fastening system is provided that can selectively fasten close and/or adjust a wearable article. The system may comprise two-sided fabric strap comprised of a first connectable fabric operable to releasably attach to a second connectable fabric of a wearable article. The system may also comprise a wearable article comprised of the second connectable fabric operable to releasably attach to a first connectable fabric of the two-sided strap. The first connectable fabric of the single fastening strap may be releasably coupled when joined to the second connectable fabric of the wearable article, thus fastening, closing and/or adjusting the wearable article.

Hats and methods of making the hats. The hats include a closed front and an open back. A band extends around the back to attach the hat to the user. The band is constructed to securely attach the hat to the user, and also have an attractive appearance. Further, the band is adjustable to accommodate a variety of different users. The band includes a variety of materials that are secured in an overlapping arrangement with extensions.

A head garment assembly includes a hat that is wearable on a user's head. The hat has a plurality of first slots each extending through the hat and the user's hair can be extended through a respective one of the first slots when the user wears the hat. The first slots are distributed along a line which bisects the hat to accommodate a ponytail of the user that might be positioned at a variety of locations on a back of the user's head. The hat has a plurality of second slots each extending through the hat. Each of the second slots is laterally displaced from the line defined by the first slots to accommodate the user's ponytail when the user's ponytail is positioned on a side of the user's head.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are drawn to adjustable wearable headwear with integrated openings for accommodating one or more styles of hair. Aspects of the present disclosure also relate to adjustable headwear with integrated openings having a flexible member formed from one or more flexible elements (e.g., elastic bands, elastic straps, etc.) for permitting the headwear to adjust (e.g., expand or contract) based on a wearer's head size and/or hairstyle (e.g., a bun, a ponytail, or similar hairstyle), and for permitting natural contraction or expansion of the wearer's head. In an embodiment, the flexible elements may be arranged in a “ladder” pattern in a rear, flexible panel of the headwear. In another example of a headwear, the flexible elements may be arranged in a generally “X-shaped” pattern in a rear, flexible panel of the headwear. In such an example, two or more “X-shaped” elastic or flexible elements may be used.
