Well, they arrived. I didn't have time to take my own photos, but these will do for now:
First, as far as accurate colors in photos the cap I received is very much more of a "Kelly Green" like in the Crown Hat NYC and Amazon sales photos, not the yellow/green in the Instagram photos. That's kind of a bummer for me, because I was planning to try a WWII mechanics cap replica. Now, I might only be able to wear this on St. Patrick's Day. The black hat is, of course, black.
Second, apparently no one at Crown Hat NYC has ever studied anatomy, because they clearly don't know that human heads are not round. Unfortunately these hats are, so that might present a problem for anyone with a slightly long oval or long oval head.
Third, to make the shape issue more problematic, their sizing is all generic, i.e. small, medium, large, and extra large. The extra large, which is the size I ordered, is a snug fit on my size 7-1/2 / 60 cm head. So if you wear a size larger than that, you're out of luck. The crowns are also quite low, so that could be an issue as well.
Other than that...
