Papa Nui

@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.

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

[Gammaman]

Good idea thanks.

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

@T4920 Grease Monkey?

@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.....

[Mister_Brue]

@Giles Damn! I think I’d have gone with the cap, but I’m no fisherman. At least you had two…

@T4920 You are correct, but if any of these sizes are not perfect, then they can be micro adjusted. There’s a Papa sizing thread somewhere I believe.

@Mister_Brue oh that's handy! All of my XL feel literally perfect for my head size/shape but always tighten up a little after being throwing in the wash.
