The construction is very crude IMO and looks to be a reproduction.

[Rick C]

Can you be specific? Where are those areas of crude construction?

Looks darn close to mine except I've got slightly different gromets.

[pauke]

The gold piping around the top is very wave-like and the cloth pinched in one or two places. The eagle looks poorly applied and is actually leaning to the (its) left. The stitching in double rows as seen in the front is not even and the stitching in general seems to wander. The quality I would expect to see just is NOT there. The way the piping disappears at the top rear is poorly done and the cap does not have a smooth, flat, neat appearance.

Yes, that flaw is way beyond acceptable as is the whole cap.

Generals Cap

Hi guys. Thanks for the comments so far. Hopefully fresher pics will help. That flaw is actually not a flaw. It has been stored for years and is just creased. I retook the pic of that area and you can see it is no longer there. The eagle application looks very nice with the zip and flip method of stitching. Hope this helps. Thanks, Mark.

This first pic is of the area deemed a "flaw".

Cant quite put my finger on it. may have been made up to look like a generals cap, lacking quality in several areas & materials don't look too good on pictures.

I agree it looks like they used an old SB from another cap that was once sewn in using a type of whip cord stitch and the grommits look cannibalize from another cap or just complete junk same as the other officers cap posted

With respect,

can you explain or is this just some epiphany we need to take on faith?
