First off, it'll have the nice ripstop (you can't see the criss-cross pattern from a distance). Next it has a nice thick fabric that is very durable in the field. Then the vertical seams are centered on the front and back. Lastly, the brim is good and stiff and will hold a nice curve for a long time.
If all else fails, look at the tag, if it looks shiny new and poorly sewn in, it's poo.
*additional* The winter caps are almost the same pattern (heavier fabric of course) and have a flap surrounding the back/sides that reaches past the cap about an inch and a half when folded down. It has a wool or fleecy liner on it to keep your ears warm.
