Sewn in place in the front of the cap is a standard BeVo style SS cap trapezoid. constructed of machine woven grey and green threading in the shape of a standard SS eagle, and an SS Skull. It appears original to the cap and are machine-sewn to the outside fabric. The interior of the cap is lined with grey rayon blended herringbone twill that is stamped “57” for sizing, with the addition of a khaki-coloured non-perforated pressed leather sweatband towards the front of the cap.
