ERDL Hat, opinions..?

Here's a rip-stock ERDL hat that I picked up a while ago. Round top, not 8 point like my USMC cap.

 

It's unlined, no tags or markings.

 

Can anyone tell if this is one of the current knock-off or perhaps vintage VN era.

 

Thanks for looking!

The material looks real - these were often made up by local tailors or commercially for sale in Army-Navy stores. They were often purchased and used by soldiers. Yours is probably a commercially made cap based on the construction.

 

Here's a similar one I picked up; it has cat's eyes sewn on the back so it was obviously used by a soldier.
