Test tal-Ktieb: Headbone huwa disinn ta' ilbies tar-ras tat-tessut bil-wajer li jiddefinixxi mill-ġdid il-kisi tradizzjonali tar-ras permezz ta' sistema integrata ta' kontroll tal-forma interna. Id-disinn jippermetti ż-żamma stabbli tal-forma mingħajr labar, għoqod, jew tgeżwir kumpless, u jħalli lil min jilbsu jiskolpixxi u jaġġusta l-forma b'mod intuwittiv. Il-kostruzzjoni b'żewġ naħat tagħtih għażliet doppji ta' stil f'oġġett wieħed.
