What role does the 'tab' mentioned in the zip-up hoodie description play when wearing a headset?
This question seeks to understand the meaning of the unfamiliar accessory term in the product description and confirm its practical use when wearing a headset over the hood.
It wraps around and holds the headset with a small fastening piece of fabric attached to the hood, securing the headset so it does not slip off when walking with the hood on.
When you put on the hood, there is a small overlay band that you first notice on the outer surface of the hood. In garment making, a 'tab' refers to a small piece of fabric or strap patched on to close an open gap or fasten a specific part. While it is usually used to tighten coat cuffs or collars to block the wind, SAN SAN GEAR applied this tab detail to the exterior of the hood so that a headset can be secured[1].
When wearing a headset over smooth hood fabric, the headband can easily slip off as you move your head or walk. If you thread the headset band through the inside of the tab attached to the hood and fasten it, the headset stays stably on your head without slipping off.
hmmm, it translates an observation of the movements of people who pull up their hoods and listen to music while walking down the street into a practical feature.
The specific fastening method of the tab and the standard width of headset bands that can be secured have not yet been confirmed.
