              @Chiba:

              What's the catalina?

              Giles is jumping the gun here crew, so I'll add some scuttlebutt to clarify. The new summer season will bring an updated version of the Corsairs cap with minor modifications to the styling but in two new concepts. The Catalina is a salute to naval fly boys and is imagined in a mid weight Japanese indigo denim with life raft yellow detailing under brim and the second of these new caps is the Avenger, again a modified Corsairs but this time in olive drab HBT with billiard green under brim. Both caps are being sampled at present in John Lofgren's factory in Japan under his ever watchful eye! John also has another of the Papa's ideas to work on at present and that's a total rebuild of the Combat beach battalion hat. This time around the Papa has redefined the shape and after a strenuous workout through this Australian summer has concluded that the new 'Beachmaster' will be the ultimate piece for your beach kit. At this stage the Beachmaster will most likely be concieved in olive drab HBT and a camo version not yet decided.
              Hope this helps to give you an idea of what's in the pipeline and to elaborate a little more on Giles revelations. Giles and I are in the very early stages of what we both hope will be a very fruitful arrangement allowing us to bring the Papa's product line off the Atoll and over to Ol' Blighty and across to the Continent.

              Semper Papa

                    Excellent news, G! I ordered a Corsairs from John about a week ago, and I can't wait to see it in person. I will definitely be keeping a close eye on this space.

                      The avenger and catalina sound great. Hope to see a red version someday too!

                            The bag is great. I was concerned about the sturdiness if the strap but holding it I'm no longer worried about it. The outside fabric is vintage but the inside is a mid-90s beach camo. The strap is on the shorter side but I can still put the bag on messenger style.

                              Anyone know if Papa is going to make any more of the overdyed Corsairs caps?
                              I would love one for the summer.

                                      I'm glad youre pleased. This is one of my favourites and a great sling for the beach as it rides that little bit higher so it keeps the bag from dragging in the whitewash when walking along the surf edge.
                                      Being made from an original WWII poncho the fabric is quite water resilient however contrary to your comment the inside is actually the reverse colour way of the green outside not a separate piece of fabric. Anyway enjoy and the tee shirt deal is great for anyone looking for a freebie!
                                      Regards the Papa.

                                            PayPal and Shopify are currently engaged in a conspiracy to prevent @Papa Nui from selling a hat to me. 😞

                                            This is probably a First World Rant.
