These are great hats! Went from 1-6 of em

Same great hat, but fits slightly bigger this time around!?

This is my second Athlete Operator Blackout cap from Notch and although its the same great design as before, I've noticed a few things different this time around. 1st thing I've noticed, it fits slightly larger almost touching my eyebrow - unlike the previous cap fitted perfectly sits halfway between the forehead & eyebrow. 2nd thing I've noticed, the headlining has a different mesh-like fabric material compared to the previous cotton canvas fabric. 3rd thing I've noticed, the Patent No. 9027165 has a separate tag unlike previously, it was labeled onto the Notch logo. Before it was made in China, but now it's made in Vietnam. Although, not a big issue - but just like how it was originally.
