This invention relates'broadly to wearing apparel, and has more particular reference toahat. Y 1

The primary object of this invention is g therefore to provide a hat which can be constructed from a single blank of material, and which in its final phase of construction provides for a combined hat and neck scarf.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a hat of the above'mentioned character, that is easily adjustable to fit heads of varying size. e

Other objects andadvantages of the'inven- -tion will become apparentfrom a study'of taken in connection a with fthe --ac'c ompanying drawings wherein: 2 A

Figure 1 is aside elevationalview of'a hat embodying the features of the present inven tion.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the blank from which the hat is formed. 7 3

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the hat, the neck scarf portion of the same being shown rolled to one side for clearly illustrating certain features of the invention.

Figure 4 is a fragmentary view of a portion of the hat at the inside thereof for showing the pocket forming part of the adjusting means.

Figure 5 isa fragmentary detail sectional elevational view of a portion ofthe hat for clearly illustrating the adjustable means therefor.

Figure 6 is a substantially on the line 6-6 of Figure 5 Figure 7 is a plan view of an elastic strip forming parts of the invention.

Referring more in detail to the drawings, it will be seen that the hat is designated generally by the reference character 41, and the same is formed from a single blank of mate rial, such as felt, silk or other suitable mate rial, suitably out and shapedto provide a 4 relatively narrow elongated portion 42 tapering toward one end, and having one longitudinal edge thereof relatively straight and I the other longitudinal edge thereof cut in somewhat of a zig-zag manner. a

Atthat end remote 42 and continuing to accommodating the elastic strip from the tapered end of the portion 42, the blank is provided with a portion 60 which forms a continuation of the portion 42 and the portions 42 and :60 are rolled, and the curved edge of the portion 60 is stitched to the tapered end of the portion 42 as at a as shown in Figure 8. At

the junction of the portions 42 and 60, the

blank is provided with a projecting portlon 46 which is stitched to'the edge 43 0f the portion 42 as at 48a, the projection 46 thus, 60

providing: the crown of the hat. 7 In stitching the edge 43 to the edge of the portion 46 the portion 42 adjacent said edge is gathered as suggested in dotted lines in Figure 2 and more clearly shown in Figure 3; l a From what has been hereinbefore stated, it will be seen that the hat so provided is rimless and is of the type known in the art as a tur an.

The portion 42 of theblank adjacent its zig-zag edge, is folded .upon itself on a substantially zig-zagfold line 44 beginningfrom a point intermediate the ends of the portion the tapered end of said portion 42'as shown in Figure 2. Thus is providedportions 44' folded overthe body of the portion'42 at the outer face thereof which provides for a neat and attractive edge 7 portion for the hat at the frontthereof.

The portion 42 at that end thereof ad'acent 30 the portion 60'forms apart'of the back of the hat, andat'the zig-zag edge thereof :is I

provided with buttons or other ornamenta tions 59.; I The muflieror neck scarf-forming detail sectional view taken neck of the wearer 1 a manner conventional to neck scarfs: I

neatly when folded or passed around the neck I adgus'ting strip 63. *67 is also passedthrougha selected one 5 of clearly suggested in Figures 4 to 6i-ncl'usive to provide an open ended pocket to. the side and slightly rearwardly of the hat "for accommodating an elastic-adjustingband 63.

Adjacent one end of the pocket there is provided a series of"relativelyzspaced' eyes 66. Ad- -acent' the relatively opposite end 'of'the :pocket tl1ere:is'""a=single eye At eac'lrend .thereofithe'elastic'adjustingstrip '63: is pro- :i-vided flvith a 11001964. Thehoolr' 64:at 'one end of the strip isengageahle with i the single 1 eye 65,-whilethe hook64 at the relatively-op posite endofi the strip-is engageable with-a selected one of -theseriesofeyes 66according to the desired adjustment;

' 'Mea ns is"-'alsoipr evided to prevent total 1 displacement of strip 63,1 and such 'means comprises "a-suitable length' of cord 67' that is'firstzpassed through the single eye '65) at one end of therpocket'; and then subsequently secured tYtl'PltS'ED'ClS 50 fa =p1OXl111ttt"6Hl"Gf the A similar length of cor'd the series of eyes 66 and then has its 'ends'se fcured to aproximateend ofithe strip 63.

Thus it will be seen thatwhile thestrip63 is held 1 againsttotal"displacementjit 'mayibe readily: extended or I contracted 'as required for effecting the desired adjustment of the size-"of the hat.

Asshown in Figure 3, :at' the front -''of the i hat there'mayrbe providedsuitable ornamentat-ions-"as suggested by broken lines: to enhance the: attractive :appearance of the hat.
