Abstract

A sweatband used for headwear that is woven of 100% combustible synthetic yarn without any polyurethane. The sweatband provides excellent sweat absorbing capability and exhibits good elasticity through the structure of the textile without imposing undue pressure on the wearer so that the sweatband may be worn comfortably for a long period of time. The yarn used to produce the sweatband is passed through a bulky process, being shrunk through a low temperature short-term combustion method and dry heat treatment process after weaving. The sweatband preferably has a unitary, single ply construction that is planar and does not twist in the absence of elongating force.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention is related to the field of headwear and, more particularly, to an improved stretchable sweatband woven as one unit body and having a highly efficient sweat-absorbing capability. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Caps of the baseball-style type generally include a crown main body, a visor portion that is secured to the forward edge of the crown and extends outwardly therefrom, a headband or sweatband attached to the lower part of the inside of the crown, and a size controller attached to an underside of the rear of the cap. Alternatively, cap sweatbands have been constructed that include an elastic band made of fabric which includes spandex yarn, giving the sweatband size flexibility while eliminating the size controller. [0005] It has been found, however, that caps relying on spandex sweatbands for sizing exert pressure against the wearer's head which can become uncomfortable afte...
