Abstract
A sun screen hat formed from a planar sheet of flexible, slightly stretchable, pliant, sunblocking material. The hat has generally a brim section, an adjoining and extending skirt section and a generally circular opening at least partly within the brim section to define a rim band. The pliant hat material is self-draping so that when the hat is worn, the skirt section hangs down in vertical folds at the back of the wearer's head and neck, and if desired, parts of the shoulders, and folds into a hanging drape-like shape.

A hat formed from a unitary single piece of material from relatively thin, planar, flexible, pliant, at least slightly stretchable, self-draping material comprising
- a continuous and nonreparable brim section;
- a single nonreparable skirt section contiguously adjoining said brim section and being continuous with and non-separable from said brim section having opposed lateral edge portions joined by an end edge portion, said opposed lateral edge portions of said skirt section extending outwardly from said adjoining brim section and away from each other, said hat having a generally circular opening at least partly within the continuous brim section and partly within the skirt section.
A hat formed from relatively thin, planar, flexible, pliant, at least slightly stretchable, self-draping material comprising
- a semicircular brim section;
- a skirt section contiguously adjoining said brim section having opposed lateral edge portions joined by an end edge portion, wherein the end edge portion of the skirt section is arcuate and extends in a direction away from the brim section and has a protruding central portion which is substantially concentric with said semicircular brim section, said opposed lateral edge portions of said skirt section extending outwardly from said adjoining brim section and away from each other, said hat having a generally circular opening at least partly within the brim section and consisting solely of a unitary planar sheet of material of constant thickness, the brim section and skirt section being integral with said sheet.
