this is my 1st rothco hat i own 3 condor hat just like this..this hat is made out of the same material that they make the dickies work pants n the condor its more like the levis material....i like the 1'' strap on the back better than the 3/4'''sh on the condor one but i like the material on the condor 1 but that doent make this a bad hat its cooler in the summer im guessing...and for the price with a free flag patch is a good purchase....
