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!

Beach sling showed up today.

Papa also included a free t-shirt.

Not my style  so free to anyone in the US that wants it. Size 38 (19" p2p, 25" length). Drop me a PM.

Glad you got the bag. What do you think about it?

[veloaudio]

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.

^Send Papa an email

[Broark]

Done!
Fingers crossed.

[Broark]

Looks like Papa is going to make me one up, will post pictures when I receive it!

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.

^^Thanks for the clarification on the bag fabric!

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.

[Broark]

Bummer Graeme, hope that gets resolved quickly.  :-
PayPal is awful, I wish there were other alternatives!
Haven't heard from Papa on my overdyed cap yet, remaining patient!

[Fergz]

Papa's great with the communication from my experience. If he hasn't gotten back to you he will!

Absolutely. The Papa is the best!

Okay boys so here it is, Austin, I over dyed two Corsairs over the weekend and chose the best one which is now winging it's way over to you as we speak. Graeme as discussed this morning we can by pass the gremlins with either of the options I send you.

[Broark]

Thanks Papa, I'll be on the lookout!

[JCMx800]

Soaked and machine-dried my Convoy Cap, it shrinked a little bit and now it's perfect.
Papa got a little restock, act fast before they are sold out again!

[Graeme]

The Papa and I managed to overcome the ordering gremlins, and a Battalion hat is now winging it's way to me.

Looking forward to it. I hope these things aren't too addictive…
