Here is a visual reproduction comparison, for those who may be interested. The hat on the left is a Society Brand Hat Company I purchased about 6 years ago. I believe this was a stock hat. It isn't a Flighter however, I don't recall all of the particulars of it. It is OD wool with OD braid and satin lining. The middle hat is my recent purchase from Aviator Military Headwear. This is a "Flighter" model, although he brands it "Fortress". It is Barathea pink wool with khaki braiding. The hat on the right I purchased roughly 12 years ago from National Capital Historical Sales. The hat is made by the Lancaster Cap Company. It is basically a service hat with the stiffiner removed. It's OD wool with OD braid.
The first photos are all three together. The single hat photos are the Society Brand, NCHS Lancaster hat and finally the Aviator Military Headwear hat.
