Abstract: A strap that has two hooks placed on the ends and a curved clip in the center of the strap. The strap is elastic so that it holds onto a hat brim firmly. Once in place, the strap stays on the brim until it is needed. Because there is no large clip, the strap can be used on sun visors as well as hats. To store eye ware, the user places the eye ware on the brim and flips the curved clip over the bridge of the glasses. To release the glasses, the user simply flips the curved hook back, thereby releasing the glasses. Moreover, the user can easily remove the strap when it is not needed. Thus, the device does not permanently alter the look of the hat. Finally, because the device hooks onto the brim, it does not alter the feel of the hat when worn.
