  • Article of headwear and method of making same
    Patent number: 7290293
    Abstract: A method of making an article of headwear comprises forming a first fabric member such that a first intermediate portion extends between a first end portion and a second end portion. The method further includes forming a second fabric member having a first edge opposing a second edge and extending between a third end portion and a fourth end portion. Additionally, the method includes attaching the third end portion and the fourth end portion to the first intermediate portion so as to define a first opening and an opposing second opening between the first fabric member and the second fabric member. The first edge of the second fabric member and the first end portion and the second end portion at least partially define the first opening, while the second edge and the first intermediate portion define the second opening. Another aspect includes an article of headwear formed by this method.
