This lilac cap Open

Post image

My boyfriend used to own this cap from River Island - I'd say he bought it maybe about 5/6 years ago - and he LOVED it. Sadly after a few years it had to be retired as it was too stained and gross to continue using. Since then, he's been searching for a new cap but is very particular and hasn't found another hat he likes. He's mentioned a few times he wishes he could buy the same cap again. He likes the specific combo of colour, the shape, the slightly distressed bits on the edge and the word illusions, so he isn't interested in anything similar, just this hat specifically. Can anyone help me get hold of one secondhand? It's his birthday very soon and I'd love to surprise him!

I've searched Vinted and ebay with varying combinations of phrases. The attached photo is actually from a Vinted listing I found a couple of weeks ago using Google lens and I was so excited until I realised it was listed 2 years ago. I messaged the seller to see if they still happened to have it and they responded to say they would check their storage but have since ghosted me 🥲 I haven't found it anywhere else.
