Abstract

A wearable hat/head garment which can be made up of many braided facets of materials. The process of the flip action, braided materials are stitched together in a circular direction at or to the degrees of 0 to 90 degree angles. The 45-degree angle produces a roll motion, which allows the braids to change the position in which they are. To include the design has an opening at the top and bottom, which give an automatic versatility in styles once flipped upside down and inside out. These hats are created in array of colors and not limited to future colors, fabrics and trims. The hat/head garment collapses into a flat position for storage.

Claims (5)

1. A hat/head garment configured to be flipped from a first position to a second position, the garment consisting of:

a braided material stitched in a circular pattern in a abutting layers to shape said garment, a portion of said braided material forming a base, respective ones of said abutting layers being stitched together at spaced intervals along respective lengths of said respective abutting layers so as to permit relative movement of one said abutting layer with respect to an adjacent one of said abutting layers;

said abutting layers forming said garment being configured in a substantially frustoconical shape having a first open end and a second open end opposite said first open end, an exterior surface and an interior surface, said first open end and said second open end defining a first plane and a second plane, respectively, said open end being defined by said base;

said abutting layers forming said substantially frustoconical shape being oriented at a 45 degree angle with respect to said first plane, said angle permitting respective ones of said abutting layers to roll along respective abutting portions of said abutting layers;

whereby, in said first position a first portion of each of said abutting layers forms said exterior surface and a second portion of each of said abutting layers forms said interior surface, and rolling of said abutting layers permits reorientation of said abutting layers such that in said second position, at least a portion of said first portion forms said interior surface and at least a portion of said second portion forms said exterior surface.
