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

Thanks, @Broark!
We are shooting with vintage Made in Japan Nikon Nikkor lenses in a makeshift photo studio.

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.

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.

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.

Roger that. Thanks for the reply.

It's always the right time for an Avenger cap!
