Papa Nui

[Oaktavia]

@Mister_Brue oh heck yeah dude, I wasn't sure if you ended up grabbing one of those. I bet it looks different after each wear...

[Mister_Brue]

@Oaktavia I was keeping an eye out for restocks, and was lucky enough to get hold of them second time around, having procrastinated when I first saw them.

The natural one above is my new ‘hard hat’

[Oaktavia]

@Mister_Brue nice man hell yeah

[DeeDee85]

Just a heads up, UK site thosethatknow.co.uk are selling all Papa Nui caps for buy one get one half price, including the recent horse hide one. I think the offer is valid for a couple more days.

[Mister_Brue]

@DeeDee85 Damn, I’d forgotten about TTK. Great deal.

A-26 and 120; a wet day at the office.

Papa Nui and The Rite Stuff have collaborated on the Sailor Moku Pants, which are currently available for pre-order with delivery in October.

They're based on The Rite Stuff's Daybreak pants, with tweaks to the pockets based on military designs. They're made from a 10.5 oz denim that mimics a slubby vintage Levi's weave, and they're manufactured John Lofgren.

At the time of writing, The Rite Stuff has sizes S (32"), M (34"), and XXL (40") in stock, whilst the Papa all sizes bar XXL, including L (36") and XL (38"), along with the matching cap.

I've signed up for a pair, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they turn out.

Heck yeah! I already have the cap on order - very tempted by the pants…

[Graeme]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot I've got my name down for the cap too. Of course, I'd argue that you should order the matching pants too.

@Mister_Brue that stonemason dust gets everywhere.

I’ve had this one a while a metal spike hit the peak and deflected up saved my eyes but not the hat.
It was my favourite one and fits perfect stays on in a strong breeze but so comfortable to wear all day.

[jordanscollected]

@Gammaman you should have it repaired with a couple denim patches from your retained cuff cuts if you have them.

[Gammaman]

Good idea thanks.

[T4920]

Took a gamble on this as I've never found a cap that I liked the fit of, but these Papa XLs are perfect for me

[Mister_Brue]

@T4920 Grease Monkey?

[Twistlock]

Looks good on ya @T4920 !

[T4920]

@Mister_Brue A-3 I believe

@T4920

“PN-0042 - Papa Nui - Grease Monkey A-3 Cap - Indigo

Based on the classic USAAF Type A-3 cap, the Papa Nui 'Grease Monkey' recreates the style of headwear worn by US Airforce ground crew mechanics during WW2.”

I have this one too, and have worn it to work throughout the summer. I love the Papa shrink or stretch to fit sizing.

[T4920]

@Mister_Brue ah yeah, that's the one!

What do you mean by the shrink/stretch to fit? I've only ever seen sizes tagged M/L/XL.

I lost one of my denim caps when playing a Tuna in Morocco last week. Was blown of my head and the decision I had to make was, chase cap or hold onto Tuna. The Tuna won. So, I am now down to just one.....
