    Abstract: The core of the modular cap assembly of the present invention consists of two selectively detachable elements, a visor component having a forehead or billboard portion made of velcro hook-adhering fabric, and a crown component with a permanent fold-down sweatband that allows it to be worn as a brimless cap or “beanie” when separated from the visor. These two selectively detachable elements can be worn assembled as a cap, or each one can be worn separately as a distinct piece of headwear. The selectively detachable crown can be made in any silhouette, in any materia, and with any back closure known in the art of making caps, visors, and brimless caps of “beanies”. In addition, one of more of the panels of the selectively detachable crown can be made of velcro hook-engaging material, allowing the selective display of detachable insignias and detachable pockets with velcro loop-engaging material permanently affixed on back of them.
