Very good to excellent condition. The hat is completely free of moth bites or tracks. The crown is very clean; the band has some faint stains in the right temple area that are not very noticeable. The visor has some scuffs to the top, not too detractive. The interior is pristine, including the sweat band, sweat diamond with factory logo, and the liner. The hat has kept its form perfectly over the years. A fairly uncommon and interesting piece!
