Abstract
A hat having a closure band which is removably attached to the hat is disclosed. The hat may have a sweatband that is sewn in place to the perimeter portion of the hat along the bottom of the perimeter portion as well as at a distance above the bottom portion to create a loop aperture. The sweatband and the closure band may have adjustable fastening devices such as a hook and loop material (e.g., Velcro®). The closure band may be removably attached to the hat by adjusting the length to accommodate the circumference of a wearer's head, and may be removable attached onto the hook and loop material on the sweatband. Hence, a wearer may remove and replace the closure band with another closure band having a different color, logo, or material to show support for another sports team.
