NOTE: Be aware that each command may interpret these specifications differently! My sailor was told the hat must be black, even though the specs say "navy blue." He is also allowed one fold of the brim (thus pattern is written as such), instead of the two folds mentioned.
For fun, see the official USN pattern distributed by the American Red Cross in 1941! (Click Here)
