A hat liner is fabric lining the inside of a hat to protect the hat body from soiling by hair-styling products and dyes, perspiration, and body oils.
In finer hats the hat liner is made of silk or other natural, breathable fibers. Sometimes a hat liner has a lightweight, sheer plastic film over it.
Some manufacturers print their logo on the hat liner.
