Abstract
Abstract A garment particularly for rainy weather includes a cape body and a neck section rising from the upper margin of the cape body and being open at the front. The upper margin of the neck section extends into and is attached to the crown of the hat and also attached to the crown of the hat immediately inside of the neck section is a comparatively short strip of material having fastener elements adapted to coact with mating elements on the hat, whereby the cape body and neck section can be folded or rolled into a compact form within the crown of the hat and held in place within the crown by said short strip and fastener elements. The cape body is divided at its front and provided with fastener means. The garment can be made wholly or partly from sheet plastic material or from suitable water repellent fabric.
