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.

The present specification discloses headwear configured to permit the user to easily don an item of eyewear, such as prescription glasses, reading glasses, sun glasses, safety glasses, and the like. The present headwear provides a unique pocket design on each side with an eyewear temple aperture located within the pockets. The pockets are created by forming a z-folded configuration out of a fabric panel for each pocket and tacking the three layers of material together, above and below the eyewear temple aperture. Each of the pockets are positioned forward of at least part of the ears, and open towards the user's anterior. The outermost panel of each of the pockets protrudes from the sides of the headwear to provide sufficient clearance for the temples of the eyewear to easily slip into the pockets and through the eyewear temple apertures.

A headgear includes a plurality of panels on an interior surface, each panel separated from its immediately adjacent panels by a pair of seams. A compartment fabric covers a first panel and a second panel of the plurality of panels to form a compartment between the interior surface of the headgear and the compartment fabric. The compartment fabric is attached to a first seam of the first panel and a second seam of the second panel and includes a compartment seam that runs parallel to a middle seam that attaches the first panel and the second panel. The headgear further includes a closing mechanism positioned beneath a headband and that attaches to the compartment fabric to enable sealing of the compartment.

A face covering hat assembly for includes a hat for wearing on a user's head. The hat has a head portion and a flap that is coupled to the head portion. The flap is positionable in an exposing position having the head portion is exposed. A mask is provided for wearing on a user's face such that the mask covers the user's mouth and the user's nose. The mask is storable between the flap and the head portion of the hat when the mask in not is worn. A pair of first straps is each coupled to the mask and each of the first straps is releasably matable to the flap. A pair of second straps is each coupled to the mask and each of the second straps is extendable around then user's neck when the mask is worn.

Headwear in the nature of hats and caps may be made with openings through an outside surface, near a lower edge of the rim. These openings admit small items through the crown of the hat and allow the items to rest in a crease between the crown material and a headband inside the hat. This provides convenient storage in the hat without allowing the stored items to come into contact with the wearer's hair or head. The simple structure, where items are in direct contact with both the inner surface of the crown material and the outer surface of the headband, facilitate efficient manufacturing (methods of which are also described and claimed).
