Having been an officer in the Canadian military and worn peaked caps, this one fit better than any of those I was issued! No isues with the headband and when compared to old black and white RAF photos, the cap looks like it was unissued stock. Wonderful item.

A great product at a fair price. Speedy despatch and no hassle. I haven't any problem with the leather band as others have reported

RAF officer peaked cap with bullion KC badge
(2009-06-21)
As noted by one of the others providing feedback here, the sweatband has been somwhat hastily attached, leaving a bit of leather that needs to be trimmed (no bespoke tailor would expect to get away with that small bit of carelessness!). Also, the front of the crown is a bit higher than it ought to be--perhaps the result of so much demand among collectors for reproduction Nazi era peaked caps with their very high crowns. OK, aside from these admittedly minor details, the cap is overall a wonderful thing. Compare it to a specimen from Mr. Sanjay's offerings in India ("Replicators", Ujna Universal, Kanpur India) and one quickly notes how the WPG offering stands heads and tails above the "Relicators" counterpart. Finally, the shaping and construction details of the WPG cap are superb enough that a genuine RAF officer of the WWII era would be proud to wear one. For a replicated RAF peaked officer cap of the WW2 era, I don't think there are any finer examples available anywhere, short of having a cap custom done by a London bespoke tailor! 9+ out of 10 for this item!
