To clarify, @Finn666;

It is unlikely the Avenger Cap will go into production again.

If you are wanting one contact Josh at Right Hand Distribution (righthanddistribution@gmail.com).

thanks lad @dylantbmayes …will do so!

NEW MACRO SHOTS ADDED TO ABOVE POST

“I have been buying surplus gear for near 30 years and incorporating that into my beach garb. But after sitting under the Australian sun you start to think about how you can make improvements. This was how the Combat Beach Battalion Hat, and later the Corsairs Cap, came about. Both were developed and enhanced from original garments to fit into my worldview.” - Papa Nui

Nice photo of the Makin Raiders cap, I've found it's very difficult to photograph!

[dylantbmayes]

Thanks, @Broark!

We are shooting with vintage Made in Japan Nikon Nikkor lenses in a makeshift photo studio.

The old Nikkor lenses have a fantastic reputation, so it's not surprising you're getting good results.

The new Corsair Caps are awesome - all 3 … Hmm?

[dylantbmayes]

@Finkster,

The Corsair Cap was released early 2014, these are from the Papa Nui archives.

Like the Avenger and Catalina Caps these options are unlikely to be released again.

However, the Jungle Patrol Green is still available via Iron Heart and Papa Nui.

[Finkster]

Oops … I thought, that's the new stuff. 

Think, I was to focused to the/my Avenger until now.

Just arrived a great collab with Florian Bertmer!

[Broark]

Saw those on Instagram, fantastic graphic! Love Florian's artwork.

[Finkster]

^^ Stunning graphic! - 'Rat Fink Crocodile Style' 

[Chiba J.]

The colors turned out fantastic!

[Papa Nui]

Something new in the wind and coming to Iron Heart for the new season.

Is your blog semi-defunct now Papa? Instagram is great for churning out photo content but I miss your writing.

P.S. my Avenger cap is serving me well under the Hong Kong sun! Cheers.

[Papa Nui]

Sugar Mountain, as much as I love the blog and writing the truth of the matter is that it's extremely time consuming and between a day job and the Papa one can only imagine. I'll do my best though, however in the meantime Istagram is a great tool to keep in touch with my Battalion.

[Sugar Mountain]

Roger that. Thanks for the reply.

@Papa Nui Papa looking good
