There's a Polish company, Sterkowski, that makes civilian crusher style caps, you can find them on Amazon if you search for Breton or Fiddler's caps. I'd like to wear a civilian crusher, but I haven't found any to my taste. Usually the bands are too narrow, and the tops have too little overhang, so they resemble the garden variety Greek Fisherman. Too cliche for me. I have several original military crushers in my collection, the oldest is this Imperial German Army example. The cut and jaunty style is impeccable.
