The crown is in very dark grey gabardine fabric. The piping and band are in napped wool material of royal blue color, same as on Soviet KGB hats. The chin cord is in twisted gold thread (unlike the Soviet-era metallic filigree). The hat badge is officer style, in aluminum and paint, showing the Ukrainian national emblem of Trident on a sky-blue background. The side buttons also show the Ukrainian trident emblem.

The black leather sweat diamond shows hand-painted numbers in white paint, probably inventory numbers. The cloth manufacturer tag sown into the liner is of the Kiev Gorlitsa Headgear Factory, dated 2008. There is a quality inspection stamp on the inside of the sweat band as well as yet another number 48, handwritten with a ballpoint pen. The size 58 is stenciled next to the sweat diamond (approx. US size 7 ¼ / Large).

The hat is in unissued near mint condition, showing only storage age and a tiny amount of dust that should clean off nicely. There are no stains or moth damage.
