Military grade means literally nothing.
Actual military equipment is “mil spec”, and not something the average consumer needs, or can afford, in most cases.
Even when military spec equipment is made by the lowest bidder, this stuff still has to be blast proof, bullet proof, work from -60°C to +85°C, be water/dust resistant, and many other requirements depending on what is being made.
You can definitely get plenty of Mil spec shit, just not what you really expect. My hat is a Swedish army cap worn by some dude named Albert Kempf in Tunisia circa 1991.
Note it probably hasn’t had constant use cause I only got it a couple months ago, before that it was at a surplus store in Idaho falls. Now it is in SoCal, before Idaho though it could’ve been in a crate for all I know.
Military grade is code for “cheapest bidder”

Is it possible to show the hat? I kinda wanna see that hat and how it looks after such a long period of use.

That looks like a good hat! I’d be happy with that.
It’s solid and has been my main hat since I got it, helps cover my ears a bit too so they don’t get burned. The sun is a deadly laser
