Abstract: Various embodiments of article storage systems for hats and headgear provide for the removable storage of various articles within or on a hat or hats. In one embodiment, the hat includes multiple attachment points along the inner surface for the storage of embroidered emblems, patches, and similar articles within the hat, and one or more attachment points on the outer surface of the hat for the selective display of one or more of the emblems.
