This is actually the 2nd of these hats that I have purchased. The first one, I had for about four hours before one of my space-geek lady friends decided that she really liked it, and I wound up giving it to her and ordering another for me. As for the hat, it is good-looking and well constructed. I am pretty sure that it is going to last for many years and may look even better as it ages. The NASA emblem is stitched through the fabric, not glued on, and it looks great. Any space-geek (like myself) will wear this hat with pride.
