  • Patent number: 10076148
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a bespoke cap for covering and gathering dreadlocks. More specifically, two distinct fabric patterns are layered to form a cap. The first layer's fabric pattern is a crown having a front facing brim and a half oval cut into its rear surface. The crown provides a deep volume to accommodate a large amount of dreadlocks. The second layer is a five piece fabric pattern that is sewn onto and over the first layer. Both layers combine to provide an adjustable oval like aperture at the back of the cap, which allow dreadlocks to be covered and gathered naturally without being damaged. Top panels associated with the second layer have rear closing straps that cinch the aperture at an angle. Each top panel stretches and folds over the first layer's front facing brim to its underside, providing a stylish flat-cap appearance.

  • Publication number: 20140223637
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a bespoke cap for people with long dreadlocks or long un-matted hair. The cap covers long dreadlocks in an aesthetically pleasing way. The bespoke cap provides a deeper crown to accommodate a large volume of dreadlocks about a wearer's head, a wide oval aperture, and an adjustable closure set at a unique angle at the rear of the cap that, together, allows locks to be gathered more naturally without being constricted. The present invention addresses the special need to cover dreadlocks without damaging them and giving a cleaner profile and a more refined appearance than caps typically worn by persons with dreadlocks.
