The hat is provided with a shape suitable for securing the hat around a person's head so as to conform to the contours of the head to substantially minimize gaps between the hat and the head. Unexpectedly, the band of the ear warmer within the sleeve of the hat provides tension to the hat that causes it to hug the back of the head.
