Abstract
A cap includes a cap band defining a cap base, and a crown is attached to the cap band. The crown has a front portion and a back portion. First and second spaced-apart tabs are attached respectively to the cap band at the front portion of the crown. The tabs include respective fastener members. A removable adjustment strap is located between the first and second tabs, and includes complementary fastener members at opposite ends thereof for being mated with the fastener members of the first and second tabs. The front portion of the crown defines an open area thereof adjacent to the first and second tabs and adjustment strap for permitting ready attachment and removal of the adjustment strap by the wearer. A bill is attached to the back portion of the crown opposite the adjustment strap, and resides adjacent to a back of the wearer's neck during cap wear.
