Benefits of technology

The present invention is an improved hat for wearers with long hair that solves problems of prior art hats such as not being comfortable, fitting poorly, and losing structural integrity. The hat has a larger opening at the back of the hat that allows accumulated hair to be easily threaded through without distorting the shape of the hat. The hat also includes a wider adjustment band that reintroduces material and ensures proper fitting and comfort. The wider band prevents the hat from shifting forward on the wearer's head and raises the wearer's long hair off the back of the neck. This allows wearers to use the hat with ease and comfort. The use of elastic material eliminates the potential for the wearer's hair to be caught in the band. Overall, the invention provides improved hats for wearers with long hair.

Problems solved by technology

When the rear opening of a hat is enlarged and positioned such that accumulated hair in a pony tail can be easily threaded through, the hat loses structural integrity in the rear of the hat due to the reduction of material comprising the crown.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an improved head covering and, more specifically, to a hat having a crown with an enlarged rear opening and wide band to allow the long accumulated hair of the wearer to be easily threaded through and to be comfortably worn.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Head coverings such as baseball-style hats and painter's hats have a domed or flat-topped crown that is constructed to accept and cover the top of the head of the wearer.[0003]Baseball-style hats and painter's hats are commonly worn on a casual basis and during athletic and non-athletic activities. Persons having long hair typically accumulate their hair in a ponytail on the back of their head in order to prevent uncontrolled movement of the hair during such activities. Such accumulation of hair can interfere with the proper fit of a traditional baseball-style hat or painter's hat. For instance, the ponytail may be bunched up under the crown of the hat on the top of the ...
