Abstract
A free-size cap is capable of fitting wearers having a range of head sizes. The cap includes a multi-gore shell forming a crown portion and flexible seams therebetween. Ones of the gores and flexible seams forming the multi-gore shell are composed of a biaxially stretchable woven, or knitted, material. In addition, an elastic headband also is adapted to accommodate a variety of sizes of heads. The structure permits a cap to be designed which is produced easily, attractive in use or other time by keeping the shape, comfortable for the wearer by causing no oppression, and further provides the advantageous feature of multiple size capability.
