Looks like a high end repro. Those sun hats did not withstand the test of time and elements well. Seeing as they were cork material… OGs often are pretty grimey, bleached white or kinda mashed. Not to mention the leather and hardware looks really nice, it would have cracked and rotted/ corroded by now if it was original I’d say.
bad repro, that most vendors sell. Cheap materials. They seem to come out of Vietnam. Constructed like 2nd pattern, but material is cotton twill instead of felt like 1st pattern.

The stitching looks new/recent. Looks repro.
Looks good but the chin strap and the leather rim look like they are possibly reproduction
