Abstract

A crown portion has elastic sections and non-stretchable sections, open sections devoid of both elastic sections and non-stretchable sections for ventilation purposes, and a top and a bottom. The open sections include plural open sections closer to the top than to the bottom and plural open sections closer to the bottom than to the top. A circumferential portion has elastic sections and non-stretchable sections, a lower edge, a front, a back, a left side, and a right side. The circumferential portion adjacent to the lower edge is coupled to the bottom of the crown portion.
