Abstract: An item of headwear which includes a visor portion. The item of headwear includes a hinge portion which permits the headwear to be moved from an open position, for wearing, to a closed position, for storage, which compacts the headwear into a small, collapsed configuration. The visor portion is of a fan-type construction which undergoes concertinaed movement when the headwear is moved from the closed position to the open position. The visor portion is stretched to a substantially planer configuration when in the open position and is accordian shaped when in the closed position.
