Congrats to Bobby for finally snagging that Skipper hat!

He's a testament to determination, our friend Bobby. For years he has wanted a screen-accurate replica of the hat Alan Hale wore as the Skipper on "Gilligan's Island." For 30 years, actually. He bought other hats over the years that were close, as you have seen on this very blog. But they were never quite "the" one, when it came to Skipper's Lancaster Uniform Co. hat. Not quite the right trim, or braiding. Maybe not the right color, or brim, or emblem design. He waited and searched. He was very patient. And now, at last, he has his hat and his proper tribute to the character he loved on the classic TV show. He ordered it on eBay in October 2020, and it came all the way from Sialkot, Pakistan. Thanks, Bobby, for sharing your photos with us! Here he is recreated Skipper's mannerisms in his new hat, as well as a S.S. Minnow shirt.
