Parts of A Hat
A hat consists of four main parts:
- Crown - The portion of a hat covering the top of the head
- Peak (British English), visor (American English), or bill, a stiff projection at the front, to shade or shield the eyes from sun and rain
- Brim, an optional projection of stiff material from the bottom of the hat's crown horizontally all around the circumference of the hat
- Puggaree (British) or sweatband or hatband (American), a ribbon or band that runs around the bottom of the torso of the hat. The sweatband may be adjustable with a cord or rope at the top and is on the inside of the hat touching the skin while the hatband and puggaree are around the outside.
