Papa Nui

[Graeme]

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.

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!

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!

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…

Don't count on it, I was planning my next hat the minute I received my corsair.

Same here. I ordered the Salt & Pepper. When I like it, I gonna order the camo from Giles, the OD HBT avenger caps sounds good too.

I've joined the Battalion!

The hat is beautifully made, the fabric feels sturdy, and it'll protect my poor, bald skull from the merciless Australian sun.

If you're on the fence about one of these, give @Papa Nui a call…

@JCMx800 this is a salt and pepper hat, so like yours when it gets there.

[JCMx800]

Cool!!! You ordered another one? Just for the case, that someone steals the hat…

[Graeme]

I've not ordered another one. Fortunately you're on the other side of the world, so you won't be stealing mine.

Besides, I'm sure that the Papa has plenty more things to sell me…

I am looking forward to OD Avenger Cap!

Does the OG Ships Cap has a plastic snapback or leather? Maybe @tmg can answer my question?

[Broark]

Still waiting on my cap, already getting hot here so it'll get used soon!

[tmg]

@JCMx800 it's plastic

[JCMx800]

@tmg:

@JCMx800 it's plastic

Thank you sir!!!

[tmg]

No problem! Here's a pic of mine

Custom felt lettering:

Well, this isn't exactly the Avenger, but the feeling is the same.  The lettering I hand cut out of felt and sewed on the front for a personalised custom. I was inspired by what I thought my baseball team, the Atoll Defenders would wear when playing the inter- island league out here in the South Pacific.
I really really encourage all to customise your stuff as this is very much in the spirit of what the Papa is all about. Take a GI issue item and make it your own, give it an identity. The Avenger will eventually be a modified version of my classic Corsairs cap. It's constructed of 9oz olive drab herringbone twill with a billiard green underbrim to cut the glare. John Lofgren is busy sampling as we speak working hard to achieve the Papa's exacting specifications.
