Papa Nui
Battalion Work Hat
Original price was: £85.00.£55.00Current price is: £55.00.
The Papa Nui Battalion Work Hat takes its place on the Road to Tokio, where Marines, Sea Bees and sailors needed reliable shade across the exposed atolls of the Pacific. Based on the War Production Board-approved M1937 work hat, it reworks a practical service shape into something with full Papa Nui field character.
The original indigo work hat is transformed here in Frogskin camo, giving the Battalion Work Hat a rugged island utility while keeping the familiar, functional shape intact. Tough, simple and purposeful, it remains a prized piece of kit on the training grounds of Fort Nui.
