The visor is secured to a front side of the crown. At least one incision line is made on the rigid material thereby creating a main portion and a strip portion, the main portion is inserted below the strip portion to retain the visor curved. The panels of crown are made out of a common woven fabric material or a stretchable fabric material. The rigid material is a flexible rigid material or a non-flexible rigid material. At least one incision line is made on the rigid material in equal distance from an outer edge of the rigid material along a periphery of the rigid material. The rigid material is covered by the outer panel and the inner panel which are jointly stitched together at a periphery. A periphery of the visor may be covered with different color of fabric and stitched together with the outer and inner panels.
