Purchased for my Grandfather for Christmas, along with a Purple Heart Patch from another company.  When I received it, the hat was perfect.  Great Monogramming!!  Nice vivid colors!!  Very well made. But I wanted to add a little something more for my grandfather who was injured in WWII.  He is proud of the time he served.  So, I applied the patch by handsewing it to the back of the hat.  Very easy to do on this hat (as the fabric takes the needle well) and came out looking awesome! This hat was perfect!!
