         5 . The hat of  claim 4 , wherein one or both of the magnet of first polarity and the magnet of second polarity are coated or sealed with a corrosion-resistant material. 
     
     
         6 . The hat of  claim 4 , wherein one or both of the magnet of first polarity and the magnet of second polarity sealed in a thermoplastic material. 
     
     
         7 . The hat of  claim 1 , wherein the first attachment means is a hook-type material and wherein the complementary attachment means is a loop-type material. 
     
     
         8 . The hat of  claim 1 , wherein the first attachment means is a loop-type material and wherein the complementary attachment means is a hook-type material. 
     
     
         9 . The hat of  claim 1 , wherein the first attachment means comprises both a magnet of a first polarity and a hook-type material, wherein the complementary attachment means comprises both a magnet of a second polarity and a loop-type material, and wherein the first polarity is opposite to the second polarity. 
     
     
         10 . The hat of  claim 1 , wherein the first attachment means comprises both a magnet of a first polarity and a loop-type material, wherein the complementary attachment means comprises both a magnet of a second polarity and a hook-type material, and wherein the first polarity is opposite to the second polarity. 
     
     
         11 . The hat of  claim 1 , wherein the hat consists of one attachment means and wherein the detachable strap is sewn onto the hat on the opposite side of the attachment means. 
     
     
         12 . A curtain comprising a first array comprising at least two first attachment means and a second array comprising at least two second attachment means, wherein each of the first attachment means is configured to attach to each of the second attachment means, wherein the first and second attachment means are both on the same side of the curtain. 
     
     
         13 . The curtain of  claim 12 , wherein each of the first attachment means comprises a magnet of a first polarity and wherein each of the second attachment means comprises a magnet of a second polarity, and wherein the first polarity is opposite to the second polarity. 
     
     
         14 . The curtain of  claim 13 , wherein one or both of the magnet of the first polarity and the magnet of the second polarity are coated or sealed with a corrosion-resistant material. 
     
     
         15 . The curtain of  claim 13 , wherein one or both of the magnet of the first polarity and the magnet of the second polarity are sealed in a thermoplastic material.
