Production units will have a chin strap, like military boonies. Here's a good article comparing several different boonie cap designs:

I have many different types of boonies that I have accumulated since I was a kid. I used to cut down my boonies for Situational Awareness, then use the removed rim material to replace the webbing camouflage band with one that matches the camo of the boonie. We also had to have certain markings on our headgear in all the reconnaissance units I was in, so I did a lot of sewing of Unit SOP's, which usually included aviator's signal panel or section of VS-17 panel inside the hat, and pile tape for cat eyes and glint tape.
