Hi all! Diehard Gilligan's Island/Alan Hale Jr. (Skipper Jonas Grumby) fan since age 3 1990. Been on a mission of trying to find the black yacht cap made by Lancaster that he wears in the show 3 seasons 98 episodes 1964-1967 with the hand embroidered gold bullion wire crossed anchors life ring ropes emblem. No luck. I did find one but it isn't Lancaster and has a machine made sewn on patch. Midway Cap Co. Brand from the 1st TV Reunion Movie Rescue From Gilligan's Island(1978) is what I've found during my search for a black one. Ordered it on 4/1/14. Arrived 4/28/14. I only learned the original series '64-'67 brand was Lancaster Uniform Cap Co. Brand in 2010. Well said co. went out of business 1 year later in Jan 2011 after 82 years 1929-2011. But the hats were to expensive at $275 each. Then it was $324 each then it was $375 each finally $359 each before they went out of business. The last ones I learned were sold at Frank's Fisherman Supply near Pier 39 in San Francisco. I can't find a hand embroidered gold bullion wire black yacht cap for an affordable price. Would any of y'all have any suggestions as to where I can look?

There's a pretty good replica for sale at benfordyachthat.com, but it's $249 + postage. On the plus side, it's available in 11 sizes.

I sure wish I could help Skipper. Let us know if you make any progress.

The scene you're after goes as follows. Enos:"It's my boundin' duty to give y'all a speedin' ticket now!" Bo:"Well, Enos, you know the rules! You gotta catch us first!" Enos:"That's exactly what I aim to do buddy roe! Haha!"

I love these reviews Cousin Roger. Keep 'em comin'.

Except for the times that I'm shucking and jiving folks....which is only about every other post.

Amen Brother Roger!! Preach it!! ( You ain't NEVA lied! )

Hazzard County is perfect. It's the rest of the world that is messed up.

It's also unrealistic that nobody ever has to fill up on gas although they do a lot of driving!

Yes, it's good to see you again JH! Come on by the car lot sometime and we'll turn up a few Mason Jars of the good stuff!!

You're the best Ridge Runner on the HazzardNet Hobie. If you can't explain the rules to us we don't have a chance.

No squirrel on the menu? I guess we shouldn't be fooled by all the proper etiquette and fancy clothes that we see on TV. If they don't have squirrel at their wedding receptions that proves that those people are barbarians.

Yes, it is on every channel we have. I got an initial invitation but I was supposed to fill out a questionnaire for their final approval and they said I would then get an official royal invitation. They wanted to know who I would be wearing. I had to ask my wife what that meant. She explained it means who designed the clothes I would be wearing. I responded Willie Robertson. I'm assuming my official invitation got lost in the international mail.
