ABSTRACT:
A cap for wear by women to conceal a partial or total hair loss. It comprises a main fabric piece with a curved top margin and a straight bottom margin with hems along both margins. A hairpiece retainer band consisting of a fabric strip is sewn at its opposite ends along the inside of the bottom hem and provides between itself and the bottom hem a space to retain a hairpiece simulating bangs. An elastic drawstring is provided in the top hem to gather the curved top margin into a tight loop creating many large folds in the top and back of the cap when worn to conceal the back of the head and give the appearance of a full head of hair while applying tension to the bottom margin and retainer band to hold the hairpiece in place in a readily adjustable manner. In one embodiment, both the main fabric piece and the retainer band are elastically stretchable only in a direction parallel to the bottom hem. In other embodiments, the main fabric piece is non-stretchable either parallel to or perpendicular to the bottom hem.
