• a vertically oriented rear portion having a rectangular configuration with a front face, a rear face and a periphery defined by a pair of long vertical side edges and a pair of short horizontal top and bottom edges, the rear portion having a rectangular foam pad mounted on the front face along the bottom edge thereof, a slot formed between the side edges adjacent to the top edge of the rear portion for allowing a belt to be passed therethrough, a rectangular tab integrally coupled to the top edge of the rear portion and extending upwardly therefrom in coplanar relationship with the front face wherein the tab has an aperture formed therein for allowing the rear portion to be hung on a post, and a belt clip including a horizontal portion integrally coupled to the rear face of the rear portion adjacent the top edge and a generally vertical portion integrally coupled to the horizontal portion and extending downwardly therefrom for being removably secured to a belt;
• and
• a front portion having a central extent pivotally coupled to a central extent of the side edges of the rear portion, the front portion including an upper extent with a handle extending upwardly and outwardly from the side edges and a lower extent having a generally U-shaped vertical cross-section taken along a vertical plane perpendicular with the front face of the rear portion, a bottom end of the lower extent having a rectangular foam pad coupled thereto, whereby the front portion has a rest orientation with the foam pads abutting each other for gripping a visor of a hat and a biased orientation upon the depression of the handle with the foam pads distanced from each other for allowing the hat to be removed.
