Here is a 1939 dated example of a copper brown piped pz side cap with the exact same type of soutache material which appears to be cotton. I have also seen this material in pink and lemon yellow on original side caps.
I prefer the zig zag stitching to look like it does on this eagle, but that just my preference. It all depends on the skill of the person doing the job and how many they have done. Maybe it was the cap eagle sewing girl's first day and this was her third cap...you should have seen the first two. The point being none of us really know, and we can only speculate when it comes to unusual or poor machine stitching on an original piece.
Maybe this cap is not bad after all.
