The authority cap is lackluster in most regards when compared to other hats. A [[bowler hat]] is cheaper - requiring only 20 textiles instead of 25, has identical protection and cold insulation, 4x the heat insulation, 25% more HP, and offers a [[Social Impact]] bonus. The only advantage the authority cap has its slightly reduced Work to Make, but the resulting market value is still higher for authority caps.

The only possible saving grace for authority cap is its unique ability to improve the suppression power of the wearer. No other item improves this ability. That said, the buff scales with the pawn's existing suppression power. The result is that the cap only provides a meaningful increase to pawns with high skills. And due to how [[Slavery#Warden suppression|suppression]] works, high skill pawns do not need the buff to keep slaves suppressed. Thus, the utility of the authority cap, even within its niche, is small. If they are available and no other headwear is needed, there is no harm in equipping wardens with them, but there is little reason to seek out the authority cap over other options unless it is required by an [[ideoligion]] or for aesthetic reasons.
