A garment you can really... Look Up To.

"The Frank" - Jungle Cruise Skipper Hat

While urban exploring a warehouse in a decidedly non urban Amazon region, a few crates were discovered. The stencil labeling the crate distinguished them as delivered from the "PROXIMA: Wild Cat Hats" company. Once opened they contained these BOTEMEN caps, popular amongst Jungle River Skippers in the early 1900's
The hats are extremely similar to a cap worn by a particular "Skip" based in Porto Velho, so I've titled it "The FRANK".

and if I may be Frank... which I'm not, I'd be quite large... and bald.
But, I'd also be wearing this hat.

These are a one size for all hat, with a ribbon adjustment inside the inner band to accommodate smaller sizes.
The circumference of the hat measures 23" around. (Aproximately a hat size 7.25-7.5)

Features include:
-Quality constructed base cap.
-Size adjustment ribbon.
-Hand Tooled Leather Hat Band with metal buttons.
-"PROXIMA: Wild Cat Hats" Patch inside cap.
-The keepsake "PROXIMA: WCH" Order Card from their original fabrication in Porto Velho.
-Along with the addition of the "Ranger Rob Artifacts: Adventure Wear" clothing tag inside the hat. (So you don't forget who fell through the rotted wood planks of a second floor in an abandoned warehouse landing on this find.)
