Claim 3
Dependent Claim 259 words
A perspiration band for headgear, having a headband with upper and lower edges, the perspiration band comprising: a substantially rectangular strip of flexible moisture absorbing material having top and bottom edges, and a plurality of fasteners attached adjacent the top and bottom edges of said strip for securing the perspiration band in covering relationshp over at least a part of the headband, so that top and bottom edges of the perspiration band extend above the upper edge of the headband and are secured above the upper edge of the headband in face-to-face engagement. .Iaddend. .Iadd.3.
