Did this surprise you Skipper or did you know it was coming?

Oh my goodness I love that line. I love it anytime they talked about the old moonshining days.

I knew. I'm pals with Raymond who owns it. He announced it to me privately before the public announcement.

Gilligan's Island fans... I bring y'all sad news. This was posted by the owner of American Patrol Co. After 33 years, American Patrol Company is moving into retirement. This has been a difficult decision to make, but the time has come. Starting now, A.P.Co is selling off its two subdivisions, The historic Lancaster Hat company and its vintage canvas/WWII field gear division. Each division has substantial quantities of materials, clicker dies canvas, hardware, webbing patterns etc. Both divisions’ assets are completely intact so manufacturing can resume in your own facility without needing to purchase anything else. My greatest hope is someone will purchase either division whole. I have many customers who also hope that will happen so they can continue doing business with a reputable maker. The quality of American Patrol Companies materials are all top notch. Most hardware and other materials are NOS vintage items. Materials include literally miles and hundreds of pounds of fabric, canvas, webbing, hardware, tooling, and machinery. I can give specific quantities and photos if someone is interested. PM me if so. I would like to sell everything by the fall of 2023. If you or someone you know might be interested, message me and I will provide lists and photographs of the assets that go with each division.
