I had been looking for an Irish cap for years when I stumbled across this one.  So many I tried on just didn't look right, had the wrong cut, or were simply cheap.  It was frustrating to keep trying them on and then always finding something about them that that just wasn't right.  This cap hits on all cylinders.  This is an authentic Irish cap.  The outside material is soft.  The inside is smooth and comfortable.  The color is spot on.  It is a cap you can wear every day if it suits you.  Definitely recommended.
