Gilligan's Island Fun Fact: Scenes for the Lancaster Uniform Cap Co. hat in all 3 movies Rescue From Gilligan's Island (1978), The Castaways On Gilligan's Island (1979), and The Harlem Globetrotters On Gilligan's Island (1981) are "The Skipper Brave and Sure" when he's seen smiling and looks down at the ship wheel sign S. S. MINNOW ISLAND CHARTER EXOTIC TRIP FREE LUNCHES and back up at us still smiling. And the Midway Uniform Cap Co. hat is in the ship wheel scene when it has him inside and the lyrics sing "The Skipper too". Rescue even though Lancaster is on 1 actual movie scene, it's still predominantly Midway thru out. While the last 2 are predominantly Lancaster thru out the actual films.

I think what sank the Titanic, the costly grave mistake was reversing the engine (Don't know if this really happened or not per James Cameron's movie). But if it did really happen, that was a costly grave mistake. Lost speed and their own wake/slipstream from traveling the fast knots they were going drifted them right to the iceberg. Put them on a collision course with it. Stood better chances of just remaining forward full speed and just trying to turn around it I think.

"Hidden racism in a classic film? In La Bamba, Mr. Ludwig's subtle prejudice shines through when he asks Donna about Ritchie Valens: 'What is he, Italian or something?' A clever detail that adds depth to the story! 🎥 #LaBamba #RitchieValens #RepresentationMatters"

Season 2 Gilligan's Living Doll Gilligan:"Professor, have you seen my lucky rabbits foot?" Professor:"Gilligan, I thought I told you not to believe those silly superstitions." Gilligan:"But it brings me good luck." Professor:"Luck Gilligan, is all in the mind." Gilligan:"Professor, with my mind, I need all the luck I can get!"

The Broner Hat Co. description of their White and Navy Blue Skipper Yacht Cap. This Yacht Cap is one size fits all and looks much like one Skipper wore on Gilligan's Island. So next time, when you're sailing with her on your 60 foot clipper, and you both look up to marvel at the marvelous Big Dipper, take her in your arms. But gently, not like Jack The Ripper, and say "Baby, if you'll be my mate, I'll be your loving Skipper." Gush gush. Just make sure you're wearing the hat my captain."

FUN FACT: Did you know Puerto Rico has its OWN Gilligan's Island?! This tiny island is open to campers and visitors - a real-life deserted island adventure (hopefully with better luck than the SS Minnow crew!) Has anyone been here? Share your photos! #GilligansIsland #PuertoRico #IslandAdventure

Did you know that Lancaster Uniform Cap Co., the primary maker of the iconic Skipper hat worn by Alan Hale Jr. in the original Gilligan's Island series (1964-1967) and reunion movies (1979 and 1981), is no longer in operation? Today, Midway Cap Co. in Chicago is the only official maker of the Skipper hat still in business. Interestingly, they also produced the secondary hat worn by the Skipper in the 1978 movie Rescue From Gilligan's Island, as well as Alf's hat in the 1987 TV special Alf: Somewhere Over the Rerun. If you're a fan of Gilligan's Island or looking for a unique hat, you might want to check out Midway Cap Co.!

Someone commented "NICE CAP" about the Benford Yacht Hat. I was thinking my comment but did not publish it. Lol. I was thinking "Yeah nice hat. But the $249 price ain't nice." Lol. As nice as Benford Yacht Hat may be, it ain't no Lancaster Uniform Cap Co. Cap. Which is the brand of Alan Hale Jr. The Skipper.

Someone on YouTube commented on Ritchie Valens Framed "The original police harassment song." I replied to that person with "The perfect soundtrack for those Duke Boys. Lol."

My Facebook post. Sometimes I wonder if things happen for a reason. I once eyed a $249 Benford Yacht Hat, despite its braid not matching Alan Hale Jr.'s style. When Bluenox advertised a Lancaster Uniform Cap Co. hat with the right braid, I was excited... but ended up with a Gorget Braid Benford-style hat instead. Scammed, but for $78.29, it was a deal. Fast forward, my mom transformed it into the Lancaster I originally wanted. Maybe God worked it out this way, using a less-than-ideal situation to bring me closer to what I wanted all along?

DIY Hack Alert! Did you know a $65 Midway Cap Co. Skipper hat can be transformed into a $249 Benford Yacht Hat? Both hats feature the same Gorget Braid style rope hat band and Gold Anchor side buttons. To replicate the Benford look, simply order the Midway Cap plain with braid and buttons, then add your own custom hand embroidery with Gold Bullion Wire. Get the high-end look without the hefty price tag!"

La Bamba (1987) Connie(Mom):"How could you do this to Ritchie!?" Bob:"To Ritchie!? I did this to me!"

Season 3 The Pigeon Skipper:"Gilligan, if Walter gets to Hawaii for us, we'll build him special cage just for the 2 of you!"

Season 3 The Kidnapper. Mr. Wiley:"If I was a dame, I couldn't resist you!" Gilligan:"I could!" Skipper:"You stay outta this! Now, what were you saying Mr. Wiley?"

Season 2 Mr. & Mrs.??? Gilligan:"It's too bad we don't have a Captain of a boat." Skipper:"Gilligan, what is it you think I look like, a mermaid?" Gilligan:"Oh no Skipper. A mermaid has a long tail and- Oh yeah you're the Captain of the Minnow."

I'm angry at Donna Ludwig's daddy Lawrence. Every time Ritchie Valens called her on the phone, he would lie and say "Donna's not here right now." And she would be sitting right there. She didn't care what her daddy said or thought. She dated Ritchie anyway. That's true love right there!

Any fans here?
