Abstract
A cap with protrusive effect that can effectively display letters or diagrams of logos, emblems, etc. in a three dimensional fashion. The headwear includes a multi-panel crown, and a crown front portion consisting of two fabric pieces or two fabric pieces and one piece of woven or non-woven material. A flexible molded material or a piece of sheet is used to create letters or diagrams to be used as logos, emblems, etc. and is attached to the crown front portion and upper bill portion. The fabric materials that can be used are any type of common textile fabric or stretchable fabric material. Through a washing process, a natural three dimensional visual effect is provided to maximize the advertising effect of the cap. In addition, a dyed fabric with black pigment coating is used so that when the cap is washed the black pigment is decolorized and a mixed color contrast is provided between the remaining black color and the original color of the dyed fabric to maximize the aesthetic value and effect of a cap.
