sky piece
Seventies black slang for a hat.
Damn, that dude has a sweet sky piece.
Sky Piece
The first time I heard of a hat referred to as a 'Sky Piece' was in a 1945 movie called 'Pardon My Past'.
"...and I want to buy a hat and I want it to fit and I don't want to be cheered up by a fat head like you. Now start building up good will and break out a SKY PIECE that'll make me look human."
