Hey Everyone, I was thinking about mask functionality and readiness and I had a few ideas that I wanted to see if they could help us introduce protection into fashion. I was thinking that we create a baseball cap that in times of emergency can fold the lip into a mask to cover the face from gas or viruses. This way people will wear them and when needed have a mask available wherever they go. Perhaps we can explore this option for future flu seasons. Or even to protect off duty firefighters or first responders in an emergency. Stay Safe, Stay Sanitized and Stay Supportive, John Ames Birch @johneames2
