Kathryn` S. Jordan, New York,v N. Y. Application June `11, 1932. Serial No. 616,702

1 Claim.

This invention relates` to wearing apparel and particularly to wearing apparel suitable for the head, the object being to provide an improved cap having a body and a veil extending therefrom. l

Another object of the invention is to provide an article'of wearing apparel whereina crownshaped body is provided with a veil connected therewith presenting a full veil structure at` the front merging into a band at the side and rear.

An additional object is to provide an article of headwear formed of netting or veiling and constructed in two parts arranged in such a way as to present a crown and a veil at the front, the Veil formation being pleated or tucked at the sides t0 present a desired adjustment.

y In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 is a side view of an article of wearing apparel disclosing an embodimentof the invention, the same being shown mounted on a gure.

Figure 2 is a front view of the disclosure in Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a rear View Figure 1.

Figure 4 is an enlarged longitudinal Vertical sectional View through the article-of wearing ap-l parel shown in Figure 1.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by nuof the disclosure in merals, l indicates what may be termed a crown` or body of the article of wearing apparel, and 2 a veil which is provided with a front section 3 and a rear sectionv 4. At the juncture of the front and rear sections a` number of folds or pleats 5 and 6 are provided so as to not only provide for adjustment but to draw in the veil 2 and thereby'produce a better t.

t will be noted from the drawing that the veil is stitched to the body and the line of rjuncture or connection 7 presents a threading or stitching between the veil and the body l which is a peculiar line and in a certain sense follows the face and the upper part of the neck so as to expose the face yfully as far as the body 1 is concerned, and also so as to permit the veil 2 to actin a commensurate way as a short veil. The line oi. connec- .tion 7 includes a front line 8 which is arc-shaped and merges into what maybe termed an ogee curve 9, and then merges into an arc-shaped line 10 at the back. By'reason of this construction, the crown or the body 1 is formed to snugly nt the head without attening the waves in the hair,I while permitting the veil section to be substantially loose and extend over the upper part'of the face without contacting therewith except for a short distance at the upper part.

It is to be understood that the entire structure is to be made from Veiling material or from a hair net structure in connectionwith a veil Vso that all the parts are `open `and very light in weight. At the back, instead of the lower line of the veil 2 continuing onV the downward curve, it is notched or curved upwardly, as illustrated in Figure 3, so as to leave the neck open and free of contact. l p The article of Wearing apparel may be used at any time, butis quite often used in the evening when out for a walk or when riding in an automobile.V Under these circumstances, the hair of the person would naturally beblown to one side by the air unless held in some manner. By reason of the construction disclosed, the hair is held in place and at the same time apleasing veil effect is' presented so that in a limited sense the device resolves itself into a net cap formed in a. peculiar `Way so that the veil portion at the front will be substantially out of contact with the face while the body will be lightly in Contact with the hair to prevent any displacement thereof but prevent any unduepressure thereon.

I claim:- A cap formed of material comprising a crown cut away at the front, and aveil section con# nected to the edge of the crown and entirely,

around the crown, the veil section being wider at the front than at the sides and the rear, the sides of the veil section being gathered at a point adja cent the lower part of the ears, whereby the veil section and the crown are caused to snugly nt the head Without appreciable tension. 1
