...this cap.
It is a souvenir for tourists - one of the few models, but from my observations it is exactly the same on the outside as soft "patrol caps" worn by Cuban soldiers. It is possible that indeed they make caps for the army and add patches with flag/red star/Che on them and sell them to tourists. This one has even the adjustment device same as army caps, however, most sellers offer them with Velcro adjustment, which I haven't seen on military caps.
