I bought this hat brand new about 6-7 years ago. It was one of my favorite hats, but I am no longer a Pirates fan. It is a New Era 59Fifty hat made of 100% polyester (Panels are 50% wool and 50% polyester) in China. I refurbished the hat by cleaning any and all dirt from it, scrubbing the sweatband and putting it through the washing machine using a cap washer. The hat now looks and smells fantastic. The buckram is clean as is the entire surface of the hat. Ships in a box. If you buy multiple items or hats from my shop I can combine shipping by sending you an invoice before you make payment.
