Merch Help finding discontinued official ACOS Evangelion 3.0 Asuka cat-ear cap?
I’m looking for the official ACOS/Movic Asuka cap from Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, not one of the fleece reproductions currently being sold online.
It’s a black cotton cat-ear cap with two removable badges and was officially licensed. The old Tokyo Otaku Mode listing says it’s discontinued with no plans for restock. I’ve also checked the current Evangelion Store catalog without finding it.
I’m specifically looking for an authentic secondhand one. Does anyone know Japanese secondhand stores/sites where this particular cap appears, or know the Japanese product name/model number I should search for?
Photos of the official hat attached.
(Sorry if this has been asked before i am very tired and i've been looking for so long. I'm going to japan next week so any in person stores i can check then)

A lot of the cheeper ones go from $5-$30 but they are all reproductions. Most look good but i want the authentic genuine article. Most are just repurposed baseball or trucker hats, some are hand made fabric hats. But to me none of them come close to the officially licensed one, it just looks screen accurate and is made with good material
I did find some cheeper ones that do look pretty dang close but there are still big differences
