A structure for reinforcing a cap of the type including a soft crown body of flexible material, the crown having a pliant rim thereon and a foldably pliable template rim region bilateral thereof, a frontal bill joined to the crown rim to form a stiffened radial corner, said structure comprising:

• supplemental means for reinforcing at least one temple rim region, said supplemental means having at least one foldable delineation thereacross, said foldable delineation having means for offering decreased resistance to folding;
• means for securing said supplemental means adjacent said crown body wherein said foldable delineation generally overlies said temple rim region substantially perpendicular to said crown rim, whereby the crown temple rim is held generally aligned with the plane of said radial corner and the stiffened character of said radial corner is extended to said temple rim region, and whereby the rear crown body may be folded within the frontal crown body across the temple rim regions, the latter remaining foldably pliable.

A structure for reinforcing a cap of the type including a soft crown body of flexible material, said crown body having a pliant rim thereon, the interior crown including a headband joined to the crown rim to provide a pocket, a frontal bill joined to said crown rim to form a stiffened radial corner, said structure comprising:

• supplemental means at least portionally positioned within the headband pocket adjacent said crown body for providing reinforcement thereto;
• strip means for extending from said supplemental means away from said crown rim and curving adjacent said interior crown to an opposing crown rim region;
• means for adjusting the effective length of said strip means.

A structure for mounting an implement from a cap of the type including a soft crown body of flexible material, said crown body having a pliant rim thereon, the interior crown including a headband joined to the crown rim to provide a pocket, a frontal bill joined to said crown rim to form a stiffened radial corner, said structure comprising:

• supplemental means at least portionally positioned within the headband pocket for cleating said crown body;
• means for extending from said supplemental means across said headband to emerge exterior of said crown body for providing a mounting appendage exterior thereof, said extending means having connective means for joining with said supplemental means;
• means for adapting at least one element of said structure to support said implement therefrom.

A structure for mounting an implement from a cap of the type including a soft crown body of flexible material, said crown body having a pliant rim thereon, a frontal bill joined to the crown rim to form a stiffened radial corner, said structure comprising:

• supplemental means for cleating said crown body;
• means for restraining said supplemental means adjacent said crown body, said restraining means having means for utilizing said crown rim;
• means for adapting at least one element of said structure to support said implement therefrom.

A structure for mounting an implement from a cap of the type including a soft crown body of flexible material, said crown body having a pliant rim thereon and a pliant temple rim region bilaterial thereof, a frontal bill joined to the crown rim to form a stiffened radial corner, said structure comprising:

• supplemental means located wholly exterior of said crown body for extending the stiffened character of said radial corner to at least one temple rim region;
• means for restraining said supplemental means adjacent said crown body;
• means for adapting at least one element of said structure to support said implement therefrom.

A structure for mounting an implement from a cap including a soft crown body of flexible material, said crown body having a pliant rim thereon, the interior crown body including a headband joined to the crown rim, a frontal bill joined to said crown rim to form a stiffened radial corner, said structure comprising:

• supplemental means for cleating said crown body in a manner leaving said crown body unmodified and unbreached;
• means for restraining said supplemental means adjacent said crown body in a manner leaving said crown body unmodified and unbreached;
• means for adapting at least one element of said structure to support said implement therefrom.

A structure for mounting an implement from a cap including a flexible crown body having a rim thereon and at least one cleat adjacent thereto, a frontal bill joined to the crown rim to form a stiffened radial corner, said structure comprising:

• detachable means for providing a mounting appendage exterior of said crown, said detachable means having connective means for coengaging said cleat and said crown rim;
• means for adapting at least one element of said structure to support said implement therefrom.

A cap-eyewear structure comprising:

• a cap including a soft crown body of flexible material, the crown having a pliant rim thereon, a frontal bill joined to the crown rim to form a stiffened radial corner;
• eyewear means for cooperating with the sight of a wearer;
• means for supporting said eyewear means to effect cantilevered support of said eyewear means only from said crown body.
