Benefits of technology

[0010]This Summary is provided to introduce concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject

Problems solved by technology

One drawback of this approach is that by utilizing hook and loop fasteners, a corresponding hook or loop fastener will have to be fixed to a cap visor before the insert can be connected.
This can be a particular problem if the insert is configured to hold any not pictorial elements, such as attachments with any mass.
Unfortunately, this may require additional hook and loop fasteners, therefore increasing the amount of pre-fixing corresponding fasteners to the cap visor while also increasing the difficulty of quickly attaching and detaching the visor to access any attachments connected to the insert.
One drawback of this approach is that sewing a holding receptacle to a hat involves a relatively permanent connection to the hat.
Unfortunately, this results in a specialized use hat that may not be used in its original fashion due to the relatively permanent connections of the receptacles.
Furthermore, by having relatively permanent receptacles sewn to the hat, if these receptacles are near the bill of the hat then this may make it more difficult to attach a cover to the bill of the hat as the receptacles are not readily re-adjustable.
While this approach utilizes magnets that allow detachment and attachment of one or more accessories, unfortunately this approach is not removably attached as it involves reconfiguring a hat to house the magnets.
While the aforesaid patents show various designs for caps and hats, none of them shows the unique design of designs disclosed herein.
