On the outskirts of the conflict, in hidden pockets of jungle, under dark canopies of vegetation hundreds of meters high, there operates a secret cadre of individuals recognized only by their black caps, made available by special funding from CISO to the Papa Nui Cap Co. These covers are emblazoned with a skull and bones patch produced locally in the back streets of Saigon. Worn atop an attire of tiger stripes or béo gams and outfits pulled from Indigenous tribes, the wearers are stealthily traversing the trail as multipurpose reaction units, searching and destroying the enemy in a cat and mouse game of counter insurgency warfare.

Meeting the Papa Nui cap changed my life once and for all — nothing will ever be the same again. Papa is truly unique in his philosophy, in the quality of what he creates, and in the heart he puts into every piece.
Many thanks,

The Real Deal.
What can be said that hasn't been said already. Papa airdropped this beaut and managed to get my mits on it before the CO noticed. The Shinki horsehide ain't a joke neither. You could go for a bimble through the jungle, get caught in a downpour, and this thing would probably come out looking better than you. It's stiff mind, took a bit of hard yakka to break it in, but now it fits like it was made for my scone. It's a civvy bit of kit, make no mistake. The Sergeant Major gets a bit cross-eyed when he sees it, thinks it's not uniform. But listen, when you're stuck in a foxhole and the rain's bucketing down, this leather lid is a bloody sight better than a piece of wet wool.
It's a fair dinkum bonzer bit of gear. If you can get one, get one. Just keep it out of sight of the brass.
Great jumper - comfortable and looks good. Wore this jumper to the local market today and got various compliments - as well as being asked where could they buy one - told them to look for Papa Nui on line!
