OK, so finally here's the first of my new hats.

These are super-lightweight, made of this woven rattan material, it looks just like the stuff Bamboo Ben nail-guns to the walls of all his bars.

Here's the whole hat, all of these are Large-XL.

... and its hard to see the hand-painted 4 color Cammo/Samoan Tapa designs, so lets look down on it -

And the inner lining is loom woven pineapple-yellow silk, this stuff is SMOOTH.

Again, I'm using my Shellac-O-Brim technology to make it rain and sun resistant, and to perma-roll the front of the brim. Only 4 of these have been made, all have different hatbands, all with different tapa designs, all have Tikis and a Mai Tai incorporated in the design!

BUT - SINCE YOU'VE READ THIS FAR! Here's the deal; there is a secret phrase written on the underside of the brim of all of these hats. You can almost see the phrase in the picture above, but it's just out of camera shot. It's the same phrase on all the hats. No hints. And the very first person who can find out what the phrase is by any means fair or foul (no rules here of any kind) and says it to my face gets the Maui Made Recovered Ironwood Fishhook pendant I'll be wearing. If I'm not wearing the pendant, the hunt is over, somebody already got it. If I'm wearing the pendant, it's still on. That's the contest.

Again, there are no rules. Find the phrase, tell it to me first, and you get the pendant.

I'll be vending at the Tikiland booth, with Buzzy. And no, Buzzy doesn't know the SECRET PHRASE!

More coming!!!!....
