Hair covering

Abstract

A hair covering for covering the hair of an individual to protect it or ornament it includes a head section which comprises a flexible fabric material and has a generally tubular shape. The head section has a front rim which defines a front opening and is sized and shaped to circumferentially surround the head of the individual. A pair of sleeves comprising the flexible fabric material is coupled to and extends rearwardly from the head section. The sleeves are laterally spaced apart from each other with respect to the head section. Each sleeve of the pair of sleeves defines a sleeve slit which extends therethrough into an interior space of the sleeve. The sleeve slit of each sleeve extends from a distal end of the sleeve with respect to the head section toward the head section.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A hair covering comprising:
 a head section comprising a flexible fabric material and having a generally tubular shape, the head section having a front rim which defines a front opening, the front rim being sized and shaped to circumferentially surround a head of a user; and   a pair of sleeves comprising the flexible fabric material, each sleeve being coupled to and extending rearwardly from the head section, the sleeves being laterally spaced apart from each other with respect to the head section, each sleeve of the pair of sleeves defining a sleeve slit which extends therethrough into an interior space of the sleeve, the sleeve slit of each sleeve extending from a distal end of the sleeve with respect to the head section toward the head section.   
     
     
         2 . The hair covering of  claim 1 , wherein the sleeve slits of the sleeves face each other across a gap between the sleeves. 
     
     
         3 . The hair covering of  claim 1 , wherein each sleeve defines a rear opening at the distal end of the sleeve. 
     
     
         4 . The hair covering of  claim 1 , further comprising a pair of sleeve closures, each sleeve closure of the pair of sleeve closures being coupled to an associated sleeve of the pair of sleeves, each sleeve closure being configured to selectively close the sleeve slit of the associated sleeve. 
     
     
         5 . The hair covering of  claim 1 , further comprising a resiliently stretchable member coupled to the head section and positioned along the front rim. 
     
     
         6 . The hair covering of  claim 1 , wherein the head section defines a front slit in the front rim to facilitate widening the front opening. 
     
     
         7 . The hair covering of  claim 1 , further comprising a front closure coupled to the head section, the front closure being configured to selectively close the front slit. 
     
     
         8 . A hair covering comprising:
 a head section comprising a flexible fabric material and having a generally tubular shape, the head section having a front rim which defines a front opening, the front rim being sized and shaped to circumferentially surround a head of a user, the head section defining a front slit in the front rim to facilitate widening the front opening;   a pair of sleeves comprising the flexible fabric material, each sleeve being coupled to and extending rearwardly from the head section, the sleeves being laterally spaced apart from each other with respect to the head section, each sleeve of the pair of sleeves defining a sleeve slit which extends therethrough into an interior space of the sleeve, the sleeve slit of each sleeve extending from the head section to a distal end of the sleeve with respect to the head section, the sleeve slits of the sleeves facing each other across a gap between the sleeves, each sleeve defining a rear opening at the distal end of the sleeve;   a pair of sleeve closures, each sleeve closure of the pair of sleeve closures being coupled to an associated sleeve of the pair of sleeves, each sleeve closure being configured to selectively close the sleeve slit of the associated sleeve;   a resiliently stretchable member coupled to the head section and positioned along the front rim; and   a front closure coupled to the head section, the front closure being configured to selectively close the front slit.
