Item was purchased for one of my kids who is in the C.A.P. Compared to the apparel acquired from Vanguard, this cap seems of lower quality. The fabric is flimsier, does not have a "pocket" on the inside of the top, it has breathing holes on the sides (Vanguard's do not), it does come with a label which states this is US made. Item looks and smells like new. Ultra fast ship. Many updates were provided with regards to where the item was.
