An expandable fabric hat liner insert is an apparatus in which the device can be inserted into any standard brim hat and fitted cap style hat, undetected by others, to protect the hair and skin of the user when wearing. The invention can be manufactured by the method of sewing. A semi circular front side and semi circular rear sided is formed from non-woven fabrics. The non woven front and rear side of the semi circular crown is attached by a central flexible fabric between each side. A flexible foldable Protective hair fabrics are sewn to the underside of the apparatus closest to the hair of the user head. A parallel, sewn in grid on the rear portion of the device allows the user to modify the device by cutting the selected grid lines to accommodate various type of hats manufactured with a sewn sweatband bow. The invention demonstrates the ability to allow the device to accommodate fasteners for the purpose of securing the two sides of the non woven fabric together, enabling the expansion and collapsing of the device. The top side of the apparatus demonstrate multiple eyelets for ventilation purposes. This form of the expandable fabric hat liner insert is manufactured to also accommodate a fitted baseball cap style with a closed rear design.

A protective headwear liner may include an encasement and a moldable and hardenable material within the encasement. The encasement is deformable to a U-shape while containing the material prior to hardening of the material. The U-shape may have a flat front and two flat sides corresponding to a front and sides of a person's head, respectively, wherein the two flat sides are joined to the flat front by curves. The material is configured to retain the U-shape following hardening of the material.

A protective hood for a garment is provided. The hood can have a multi-layered sidewall that has an inner fabric layer and an outer fabric layer that cooperate to define a first pocket. A padding layer is positioned within the pocket.

A manufacturing method including providing a mould including at least two mould parts having first and second moulding surfaces which are complementarily profiled to give shape to headwear; shaping a first substrate in the mould resulting in the first substrate having a non-planar profile which matches at least a portion of the profile of the moulding surfaces;shaping a second substrate in the mould resulting in the second substrate having a non-planar profile which matches the profile of the moulding surfaces; overlaying the first substrate on the second substrate and matching their non-planar profile to form a combined substrate; placing a third substrate in the mould with the combined substrate, sandwiching the first substrate; and shaping the third substrate with the combined substrate in the mould resulting in the third substrate having a non-planar profile which matches the profile of the moulding surfaces, thereby forming a seamless structure for the headwear.

An article of manufacture for providing a self-attaching headscarf that stays in place is disclosed. The self-attaching headscarf is made of an under cap having a plurality of attachment devices on an outside surface for attaching and holding a head scarf in place while worn about a head, and a headscarf having one or more mating attachment devices for coupling the head scarf to the under cap. The attachment devices comprise one or more pair of items of Velcro™, snaps, buttons, extra fabric meant to be tied, zippers, and magnets. The self-attaching headscarf may also include earholes and attachable earmuffs, a visor, a neck cape, and decorative adornments, all of which are secured to the head scarf using mating attachment devices.

A method and assembly for cushioning a person's head from headphones includes a crown that has an upper surface, a lower surface and a perimeter edge. The upper surface is convexly shaped and the lower surface is concavely shaped. A visor is attached to and extends along a front edge of the perimeter edge. The crown is comprised of a plurality of panels attached together including a central panel that traverses a central area of the crown from a first lateral edge to a second lateral edge. The central panel includes the apex and the central panel comprises a unitary member.

An interactive sweatband includes a center portion having a first end and an opposing second end. The sweatband includes a first wing portion that extends from and is operably engaged with the first end of the center portion. The sweatband includes a second wing portion that extends from and is operably engaged with the opposing second end of the center portion. The sweatband device may further include a front surface and an opposing rear surface. The sweatband may include an outflow channel that extends along and is defined by at least one of the front and opposing rear surface of the sweatband.

A modifiable transferrable insert-able hair and skin protection baseball cap liner is an apparatus in which the device can be inserted into any standard baseball cap undetected by others, to protect the hair and skin of the user when wearing. The invention can be manufactured by the method of sewing. A crown is formed from a non-woven fabric. A structural felt fabric is attached to the underside of the front formed crown and is sandwiched between the non-woven fabric in the underside of the crown, and the skin and hair protecting satin fabric. The felt fabric lines the lower inner portion of the invention to the rear of the apparatus for structural support on both sides of the invention. A parallel, sewn in grid on the lower left and right side of the invention allows the user to modify the device by cutting the selected grid lines to accommodate various type of baseball caps. The invention demonstrates the ability to have ventilations holes sewn into the upper crown nonwoven fabric to allow air flow between the baseball cap and the users head. The rear portion of the baseball cap insert is formed to accommodate a fitted baseball cap as well as an open back baseball cap.

A ballistic garment includes a fabric cap and a plurality of flexible ballistic panels. Each of the plurality of flexible ballistic panels has a bottom edge and an acutely pointed head that is spaced from the bottom head. The acutely pointed head of each of the plurality of flexible ballistic panels is positioned adjacent a top portion of the fabric cap. The bottom edge of each of the plurality of flexible ballistic panels positioned adjacent a bottom portion of the fabric cap.
