Adjustable Hats Including Eyelets

Abstract

In some embodiments, a head wearable element may include at least one sidewall configured to form a headband having an opening. The head wearable element may further include a first eyelet extending through the at least one sidewall adjacent to a first side of the opening, and may include a second eyelet extending through the at least one sidewall adjacent to a second side of the opening opposite to the first side.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A head wearable element comprising:
 at least one sidewall configured to form a headband having an opening; and   a first eyelet extending through the at least one sidewall adjacent to a first side of the opening; and   a second eyelet extending through the at least one sidewall adjacent to a second side of the opening opposite to the first side.   
     
     
         2 . The head wearable element of  claim 1 , further comprising a flexible fastener configured to extend through the first eyelet and the second eyelet and to adjust a size of the opening to adjust a circumference of the headband. 
     
     
         3 . The head wearable element of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a third eyelet extending through the at least one sidewall adjacent to the first side and spaced apart from the first eyelet; and   a fourth eyelet extending through the at least one sidewall adjacent to the second side and spaced apart from the second eyelet.   
     
     
         4 . The head wearable element of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a third eyelet extending through the at least one sidewall adjacent to the first side and vertically aligned with and spaced apart from the first eyelet; and   a fourth eyelet extending through the at least one sidewall adjacent to the second side and vertically aligned with and spaced apart from the second eyelet.   
     
     
         5 . The head wearable element of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 at least one third eyelet extending through the at least one sidewall adjacent to the first side and spaced apart from the first eyelet; and   at least one second eyelet extending through the at least one sidewall adjacent to the second side and spaced apart from the second eyelet.   
     
     
         6 . The head wearable element of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one sidewall comprises at least one fabric panel forming a head covering portion of a hat with a brim. 
     
     
         7 . The head wearable element of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one sidewall comprises a visor. 
     
     
         8 . The head wearable element of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one sidewall comprises at least one of a beanie cap and a bucket hat. 
     
     
         9 . A hat comprising:
 a headband having an opening;   a first pair of eyelets extending through the at least one sidewall adjacent to a first side of the opening; and   a second pair of eyelets extending through the at least one sidewall adjacent to a second side of the opening opposite to the first side.   
     
     
         10 . The hat of  claim 9 , wherein the first pair of eyelets includes a first eyelet and a second eyelet, each of the first eyelet and the second eyelet spaced from the opening by a distance. 
     
     
         11 . The hat of  claim 9 , wherein the first pair of eyelets includes:
 a first eyelet spaced from the opening by a first distance; and   a second eyelet is spaced from the opening by a second distance.   
     
     
         12 . The hat of  claim 9 , further comprising an elongate fastener threaded through the first and second pairs of eyelets and configured to draw the first pair toward the second pair to adjust a circumferential size of the head band. 
     
     
         13 . The hat of  claim 9 , wherein at least one of the first pair of eyelets and the second pair of eyelets includes an eyelet having a non-circular shape. 
     
     
         14 . The hat of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 a fabric hat portion coupled to the headband and forming an outer surface; and   wherein the first pair of eyelets and the second pair of eyelets extend through the fabric hat portion and through the headband.   
     
     
         15 . An apparatus comprising:
 a headband including a first end and a second end, the headband forming a substantially circular shape with an opening;   a first pair of eyelets extending through the first end adjacent to the opening; and   a second pair of eyelets extending through the second end adjacent to the opening.   
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , further comprising an elongate fastener threaded through at least one eyelet of the first pair and at least one eyelet of the second pair. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein the elongate fastener is pulled to adjust a circumferential fit of the headband. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein the elongate fastener includes at least one of a shoelace, a ribbon, and a chain. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein at least one of the first pair of eyelets and the second pair of eyelets includes an eyelet having a non-circular shape. 
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the apparatus comprises a hat.
