Interesting. They show a cap called the "Lee Flight by Berkshire" and the logo on the box leads me to believe that it's the same company that made mine - but the liner, sweatband, and grommet are all different. I wonder if mine's older or newer. I also wonder if the Lee of crusher caps was the same as the Lee of fedoras - it seems Dobbs was a maker.
I also thought this was fascinating:
Crush caps in khaki shades appear to be primarily of the wool worsted material but, due to the limited numbers of these around, this observation may not be accurate.
Mine is khaki and has a tag that says "100% Wool" on the inside, so it would seem to back up this observation.
Thanks for the link, Nick.
