[Elecraft] Newer Elecraft hat not as good as the earlier ones...

[Mike Morrow]

We prescient few who recognize its obvious importance must sincerely hope that, after K4 launch, perspective will be restored and marketing only the very finest Elecraft-logo ball caps will regain primacy within the company's vision and mission.

But yet...either version adequately serves its only real raison d'etre:  Hiding... outdoors or indoors...the aging balding chrome-dome that lurks underneath.  :-)

They are made in different countries. The cloth is very limp and does not feel as secure and comfortable as the old one. They look the same inside and outside, but don’t feel the same and it seems to be the material difference...too soft and limp.
