Authentication-guide caveats for RL caps (relevant because this listing sells 'scan-able QR' color variants): counterfeit RL caps commonly show a shallower crown depth, thinner/looser stitching, and a single-line instead of bar-tacked strap attachment, while the paper tag's color code is identical on fakes regardless of color; the guide also warns that high-end fakes can now pass a QR scan, so scanning alone is not proof of authenticity.

Line-level evidence (RL cotton chino adjustable ball cap): retail buyer fit reports are contradictory rather than consistently small — the same one-size adjustable chino cap drew 'way too large for people with normal heads' alongside 'hat runs small' and 'cap size is very small even though adjustable' from verified buyers, so fit expectations should be treated as inconsistent rather than uniform.
