This hat is similar to a real US Navy issued hat even down to the label inside. The camo pattern is also similar. The quality of manufacture is satisfactory for the price point as are the materials used. Having said this, buy it with the word "SIMILIAR" in mind as it is not on the same level as the real Navy hat. Is it good looking, it does fit comfortably and is fairly priced, (I do love this hat!) but dont buy expecting US military quality knowing it is made of lighter materials and is a knockoff design overall.
