System and Method for Customizing Headwear

Abstract

The present invention relates to a combination of a unisex hat and a booklet to produce a unique piece of headwear that can fit a specific style, outfit, statement, passion, occasion, brand, or voice. The unisex hat is comprised of a single color, basic felt, a rounded crown with no indentations, a two-inch brim, an internal sizing band, and two openings on the side. The openings accommodate an exterior rawhide band that loops around to create a chinstrap securing the hat to the head with a bead. The booklet provides a variety of material instructions for technical applications/manipulations, appliques, and/or suggestions for thematic research to help personalize and customize the hat. The outer surface of the hat can be customized by drawing, painting, stenciling, sewing, cutting, embroidering, felting, and appliqueing. The accompanied booklet can be a physical booklet or a digital booklet.
