The Papa Nui Congressman’s Hat is a collaboration between the Papa and Tony Sylvester. Using the conceptual premise that visiting Congressmen, government officials, and newspaper correspondents to the Vietnam capital of Saigon wanted to blend their civilian occupations with in-country style, the hat is a wonderful ‘what if’, where non-combatants meet martial styling at the hands of Mama-san’s workshop.
The Congressman’s version is a rugged Olive drab herringbone twill, beautifully constructed in the finest facilities in Japan. Its Guards ribbon enhances the simplicity of the styling and adds a vibrant flash of brilliance against the jungle drab of the hue. A perfect vehicle for your own customization.
