The Papa Nui Marauder Cap is a rework of iconic the B-1 Flight Cap used during World War II by the US Army Air Force. Two standard caps were issued to crews; the B-1 and the B-2. The B-1 Summer Flying Cap came in lightweight Khaki Gabardine, whereas the B-2 Winter Flying Cap was made from Shearling and featured adjustable ear flaps.
The Marauder comes in a summer weight “Honolulu Tan” Herringbone Twill fabric. With a contrasting Olive Green sweatband and anti-glare under-visor. This is a cap with as much presence as a “Belle-de-Nuit” but delivering far more than 3 minutes of heaven upstairs at the New Senator Hotel.
