I bought this hat because the picture shows a higher crown than most cadet style hats. I'm used to baseball caps so I prefer a medium to high crown on hats. It almost looks like a "trucker" version. Even though I couldn't try it on before buying it, I took a chance and fortunately it fits fine. I do wish that the brass grommets were on both sides of the head as opposed to one side, I like these things to be more symmetrical. The hat does have an elastic portion at the back to allow it to fit to different head sizes, but no hole to put long hair/ponytails through which would be a negative for those wanting this feature.

The bill is a lot shorter than a baseball cap bill, but still manages to protect my eyes from the sun. I like that it doesn't have any logos on it, but the distress details on the front makes it somewhat stylish.

Overall a nice cadet hat that looks good and not overpriced. I wish they had this in more colors like white or navy.
