New Era59Fifty Cap - Authentic New York Mets Royal

Seems fake ?? I’ve worn new era only for 10+ years especially fitted. Straight out the box it felt and looked inferior in quality to all my previous caps. The cotton is thin with no rigidity even looking at the material it’s not the same grade? This material is wafer thin it’s creased really bad. What have new era done ? Started out sourcing to China ? The side by side comparison with my quality old new era bought last year is night and day . I like to put a slight curve on my peak, I’ve done so on all other flat peaks. I did it to this latest purchase and the material has started sagging and bubbling up ? I ordered this for a wedding so dont have time to return but I would have unfortunately.
