The visor at the center front of the hat is covered in cotton jersey knit and shaped with a stiffener possibly cardboard. The inside of the crown is backed with a synthetic knit, possibly acrylic or polyester. A petersham nylon ribbon is machine stitched along the hat's inner circumference. There is a woven label underneath the petersham ribbon that reads [UNION MADE // KH 7273 // IN U.S.A 6].
