There is another Carhartt cap I came across. I've seen it referred to as "Carhartt graphic hat or baseball hat".
Notice the back strap is blank.
May be easier to buy this one for sole purpose of removing the strap to sew onto the other Canvas hat with the square patch. Instead of removing all of the Carhartt branded threading. It appears they are the same canvas material and this one is also in Navy. This hat is out of stock most places or it seems it was from a few years ago. I did find some on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/234257389774?hash=item368ad418ce:g:~TEAAOSwTTFheEs1
That's what I'm seeing as well. Doesn't look like there are any noticeable differences. I think I'll take a chance on one. There are multiple websites that stock this cap so it should be easy to grab one.
After digging around for hours this morning looking for a site that posts the Odessa to Aus (not paying twice as much as the hat costs for postage), I ended up going with this one—looks very very close (even has the same stiched writing on the velcro flap). The side label will probably be quicker to remove than the leather one on the Odessa as well.
Hi guys, long time lurker, first time poster. The cap flagged by Bond_ambitions is also available with the lettering on the rear strap in navy. Available on eBay
I know that the the Unwashed Graham is the sa jacket but this hat matches 100% better with the washed version, as if its a set which has been sold together.
The contortions to get SA is hilarious. Any blue cap will do if you really need to copy Bond. I never understand the need to have something exactly the same as in the movie especially when the costume designer can’t even remember the brand 😂
Saying that if I come across a navy Carhartt cap in TK Maxx I’ll probably buy it 😃
Thanks to Mr E for confirming. Glad we got to the bottom of it. The lengths the costume department go to are ludicrous. Looks like a few members had already taken a punt on this being the cap. At least it’s fairly cheap and accessible to all.

So you’ve finally had this confirmed by the manufacturer Mr E?
It took quite a long time, didn't it?😂
You seem to have done a better job of it than the production team.
Have you adjusted the back as well?
No, the manufacturer never confirmed. But it 100% is the hat.
Any photos of the back?
I want jordanpaulkelly to get credit for the find!
I picked several of these hats up on amazon for dirt cheap. If you guys want a link, let me know.
Is it the same cap that jordanpaulkelly linked to, albeit his was from eBay?
Looks like this hat was formerly known as the "Odessa Cap" but now it is just "Canvas Hat"?
The back is embroidered in gold with "carhartt" I started removing it with a seam ripper, and quickly realized mistakes were made.
It does not come off near as easily as the "jed north" logo. If you want to spend all day with a seam ripper, and I do mean all day,
you can probably remove it, but word of caution, it's easy to slip and snag and cut other stitching that you don't want to remove,
and if you don't have the skilled hands of a surgeon, you can easily tear a hole in the fabric. I have one hat with half removed stitching
and 2 hats with the stitching left in place. Not exaggerating when I say it's a real pain to try and remove.
PS If you want to remove the outline of the square patch better than the production team did, splash a little water on it.
It's 100% cotton so won't hurt a thing.
Good tips Mr E, thanks.
I did take a chance with Carhartt - I was waiting for the 4K disc regarding the back
Here is mine
MrE speaks the truth about the unpicking....such a long name...such an unnecessary random spot globe at the end of the logo!
yes that looks challenging to say the least…
Colour it in with a sharpie or paint over it with fabric paint? That’s probably what wardrobe did in the film..
Or have your special effects guy cg it out for you.

Would it not be easier to unstitch both sides of the back strap, flip it over and see it back in, so the gold lettering is against your head?

For Aussies, there is an almost identical cap available on Catch here
Virtually the same but just a different label in a different location.
I love that its made from canvas. Seems very Bond.

I ended up buying an Odessa from eBay from UK postage not cheap. Still nothing like a Burberry .
It looks like this is the one but if it turns out to be the Paul & Shark wouldn’t be upset as it looked pretty cool.

good suggestion1

Would you really want a full matchy matchy set though??
Well done for identifying the cap!
