Abstract
Abstract A headdress of the type adapted for both convenience and practical wear, including a head covering fabric, configured as a semi-circle with its leading edge diameter defined as a headband and having fastening members extending laterally on each side of the semi-circle and with its semi-circular trailing edge defining an arcuate body portion contiguous with the headband and adapted for covering the head and neck of the wearer. Complementary fastening means are secured to the fastening portions so as to secure said portions to each other at a point of overlap adjacent to the nape of the wearer's neck. Also, opposed frictional engagement pads may be fitted to the headband as an assistance in securely positioning the headband upon the wearer's head.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
200 words
A headdress comprising: (A) a head covering fabric, configured as a semi-circle and having: (i) a leading edge diameter as a headband with fastening portions extending laterally on each side of said semi-circle, said headband at its median portion being positioned over the forehead and adjacent the ears of the wearer with said fastening portions over lapping and being secured to each other behind the head at the nape of the neck; and (ii) a semi-circular trailing edge defining an arcuate body portion contiguous with said headband and adapted for covering the head and neck of the wearer in which a wedge-like segment is removed from the center of said semi-circle from its trailing edge inwardly and the opposed sides exposed by said wedge are joined by stitching as a dart extending from the nape of the neck towards the dome of the wearer's head; (B) complementary fastening means secured to said fastening portions, so as to secure said portions to each other at a point of overlap adjacent the nape of the wearer's neck; and (C) at least one frictional engagement pad supported on the underside of said headband, so as to engage a side of the wearer's head.
