Abstract

The present invention relates generally to adjustable headwear in the form of caps or visors which are adjustable to fit wearers with a range of head sizes. In particular, the cap or visor is constructed of a uni-axially stretchable material with a sweatband around the inside periphery of the cap or visor constructed of a bi-axially stretchable material. Attached to the front of the headwear is a bill, a rigid structure that shields the wearer's eyes and is arched in the preferred embodiment.
