A cap having a versatile sunglass retainer and retainer enable retention of glasses of all sorts having temples and end pieces that can be passed into and held between the cap-retainer enclosure. The retention patch may be generally square and flat in shape and sized appropriately for use with a cap, such as a baseball cap. The top edge of the patch may be indented to give it a convex shape at the bottom of which a fifth fastener may be set in conjunction with the other four fasteners at the corners of the patch. Five openings are then defined between the fasteners through which the end piece of the glasses may pass. Engagement of the end pieces and temples of the glasses by the cap-patch enclosure serves to retain the glasses on the head of the wearer when the cap is worn. The retention patches are generally used in pairs so that both end pieces and temples of a pair of glasses may be engaged and better retained on the head of the wearer. Frictional engagement of the glasses via its frame and the engagement with the cap-patch enclosure serves to retain the glasses on the head of the wearer while the configuration and location of the patch and its fasteners serve to provide versatile means for glasses retention that enable many different configurations of glasses retention to be achieved.
