Hey Pilot - if you're hunting a crush cap, keep an eye on eBay and various auction sites. Once in a while you'll have a specimen float by for a fair price, and originals can still be found with some regularity.

I'd love to get a repop, but I want the summer khaki with the light bill. For some reason the venders who make new ones insist on pairing the light bill with winter green covers and the dark bill with khaki. Makes no sense to me, but...what do I know. :lol:
Get it together? Lady, last time my people got it together it took most of Robert E. Lee's backyard to bury the evidence.

If i bought one that would be the example I would want too. Maybe the vendors are exercising "Artistic license" or they've never been to a museum. :)
