In a free-size cap the gores of the crown are made of double-knit weft knitted fabrics having a weft directional elongation higher than 50%. The cap is further provided with a sweat band made of an elastic woven fabric having both a weft directional elongation higher than' 65% and an elastic recovery higher than 95%. The crown thus has a high ventilation effect, a high flexibility, a desired tightness, and is useable by wearers having head sizes different from each other within a difference of about 12 cm. The elastic woven fabric of the sweat band is manufactured by weaving latex-cored yarns as wefts and non-stretchable yarns as warps. Double pile weft knitted fabrics may be used in the gores. In addition, the double-knit weft knitted fabric of the gores may be manufactured using polyurethane-cored yarns as wefts. |
