Abstract: A three dimensional weave fabric material is disclosed for use in producing woven hats and other items. The three dimensional weave fabric material having two layers of material, a face layer and a back layer. The face layer and the back layer are then woven together via floating threads to create predetermined patterns or areas where the two layers are not woven together. These areas which are not woven together create tubes. Specifically, the weaving is controlled by a computer program that will weave or not weave the two layers together. Once the weaving is complete, the three dimensional weave fabric material may be subject to post processing such as heat. The three dimensional material is then assembled to produce a woven hat.
