Abstract
A baseball-style cap having a pliable visor which includes an upper fabric portion, a lower fabric portion, and a resilient stiffener placed therebetween. The cap further includes a piped fabric portion that is located between the upper and lower fabric portions, adjacent an outer periphery of such upper and lower portions, into which a deformable material is inserted. The combination of the resilient stiffener and the deformable material allows the visor to be readily bent or folded as well as easily restored to its original configuration. The resulting cap can be produced easily, is attractive in use and can be carried in a pocket without damage to the visor.
