A notch is formed, and a stretchable rib is provided below each of the left and right ends of the crown. One end of the bonnet is fixed, and the flange is around the lower end periphery except for the space between the notches in the crown. The hat has an inner periphery with a circumference corresponding to the length of the hat. The edges are continuous approximately along the cutouts of the crown portion and are tapered toward the outer periphery. The distance between the ribbons is gradually increased. The distance between the notches can be adjusted to suit the head circumference. The interval is also adjusted.
[0008] In the hat according to the prior art described in Patent Document 2, the wearer must tie the left and right ribbons together. The size of the hat can be adjusted by adjusting the spacing of the notches in the crown to fit your head circumference. become.
[0009] As described in Patent Document 2, when the head sizes of the wearers are relatively different, The wearer adjusts the size of the hat by adjusting the position of the ribbons on the left and right sides. It is necessary.
[0010] That is, in the hat of this prior art, the left and right wrists are basically adjusted by the wearer before wearing. This will require adjustment of the position of the bonnet.
[0011] For example, Patent Document 3 discloses a hat (san) having a fastening band that is fastened by wrapping it around the head. The head restraint is attached to the head restraint body (visor, etc.) and both ends of the fastening band are wrapped around the head and fastened. The clamps are inserted through the clamping tubes from opposite directions and pulled out, then pressurized and laminated within the clamping tubes to clamp them. A hat is disclosed in which the length of the band is freely adjustable.
[0012] In the hat according to the prior art described in Patent Document 3, the wearer adjusts the length of the fastening band part when wearing the hat. The size of the hat can be adjusted by adjusting it to fit the user's head circumference.
[0013] As described in Patent Document 3, when the head sizes of the wearers are relatively different, The wearer can adjust the length of the fastening band with the fastening tube in advance to adjust the size of the hat. needs to be adjusted.
[0014] That is, in the hat of this prior art, the wearer basically tightens the fastening tube before wearing the hat. This requires adjustment of the length of the fastening band.
[0015] As described above, the hats of the above-mentioned prior art can be adjusted in size, but basically, The wearer must adjust the size of the hat before wearing it, and the wearer must There is a problem of reduced convenience. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
