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, a headband having a plurality of slits thereon and a stretchable fabric interconnecting the crown and the headband. Further, a sponge-containing headband is secured to the lower peripheral edge of the crown by the stretchable fabric, and the headband is stretchable in accordance with stretching of the crown. The structure permits a cap to be designed which is produced easily, attractive in use or other time by keeping its shape, comfortable for the wearer by causing no oppression, and further provides the advantageous feature of multiple size capability.
