Abstract: A fitting system for a hat includes a band configured to be coupled to the hat; and a resilient member disposed within at least a portion of the band. The resilient member includes a first end, a second end, and an intermediate portion between the first and second ends. A crown extension and a crown extension bottom edge extend downwardly below a circumferential bottom edge of the hat wherein the resilient member is only positioned within a front band portion, a first side band portion, a second side band portion, and the crown extension. The first side band portion and the second side band portion are adapted to attach to the crown to form side gaps. Each of the side gaps are designed to receive the top portion of the user's ear so that the hat is designed to sit lower on the user's head without impinging upon the user's ears while the hat is being worn. A system and method are provided.

Abstract: A hat includes a crown, a band and a resilient member. The crown includes a front having a first height; a rear having a second height wherein the second height is greater than the first height; an interior including a forward portion; an exterior including a rearward portion; and a circumferential bottom edge separating the interior and exterior. The band is coupled to the interior of the crown. The resilient member includes a first end, a second end, and an intermediate portion between the first and second ends, wherein the first end extends through the exterior rearward portion of the crown, and wherein the second end extends through the exterior rearward portion of the crown, and wherein the intermediate portion is positioned between the band and the interior of the crown.
