I know there have been some problems with orders where the item was not as pictured, but this was not the case for my order. My order arrived on time and exactly as pictured. The color and design matched exactly to its description. It appears to be of good quality and sturdy (though I haven't put it through its paces yet). The hat fit me perfectly right out of the box which was amazing to say the least and sits well on my head. Its not flat like a skullcap or tall like a trucker hat. All Velcro panels where in the proper location, but to the discerning eye trained in military inspections, they are not perfectly straight. also the Velcro panels, while stitched well, do have a tiny bit of area around the edges that is not secure. Repeated removal of patches could strain the stitching. Once the patches are in place and eyeball straight you cant see any of the edges and the patch contours to you head.. looks good. A little more attention to detail on fabrication and it would be 5 Stars.
