In steel-gray wool gabardine with scarlet band and piping. Standard plastic visor of the late type. The sweat diamond has an embossed logo of the Kiev Headgear Factory, Ukrainian SSR, with an "88" date of manufacture. The liner is marked Size 53 (approx. US size 6 5/8 / Extra Small). There is a quality control ink stamp on the reverse of the sweat band.

In very good condition. There is light wear and soiling at the edge of the crown, not easily noticeable or detractive. The hat is free of moth damage. The sweat band shows moderate wear and on a small part adjacent to the visor the stitches have come apart, but the sweat band is still soundly attached. The liner has only a very minimal sweat staining; the sweat diamond with the manufacturer's logo is perfectly preserved and fully legible.
