Abstract A secret compartment on headgear for concealing small valuable items which is only know and accessible by the wearer. The compartment is composed of a piece of material which is inwardly folded upon itself creating overlapping portions, and the overlapping portions are peripherally attached. The inner piece of material has an opening slit to allow input of items and a closing mechanism to prevent inadvertent opening and loss of the item. The compartment is attached to headgear such as, but not limited to, caps, hats, and headbands.
