Abstract:
     A stretch band (110) construction for caps or hats (100) includes an additional folded-over layer of stretchable material that serves to reinforce and support the cap or hat. Circumscribing the open end of the cap, the stretch band construction provides additional elastic support so that a cap may more firmly and tightly engage a mandrel (M) used during an embroidery process. This leads to more reliab le embroidery and less thread breakage to the cap. The stretch band has a ribbed portion (124) which allows the stretch band to the doubled back and secured to the cap material.
