Fine materials. High peak, a little unusual. True to size. Put a real Insignia on it and it will do the job.

First Cap had QC issues right out of the box -- inside and out - mostly stitching - but it was easily exchanged, (good customer service - very prompt)
Replacement cap had same issues right out of the box -on the inside, (lining not fully attached - Fixable with needle and thread) The problem with the brim was on the underside this time so no one will really see it.
I am keeping the 2nd cap for the following reasons.
1) The materials used are very good.
2) Though the cap has a considerably taller design than any original I have compared it to -- it takes on a really good look after I spent some time distressing it.
3)The cap crushes well and the wool cover hangs nicely with a little TLC. (I dampened mine with cold water then left it out to dry with a rubber band around it. DO NOT get the leather wet - I'm sure It would shrink.
4) The badge is a good reproduction and has a real nostalgic appearance.
OVERALL: This is a good cap for the money. It is half the Price of Eastman and Diamond and it is not a mid range costume piece like the ones I got from U.S. Wings and Garcia Aviation. Except for the mentioned issues I really like this cap.
