Title: No More Hats?
Post by: Gerry on February 14, 2019, 09:21:23 AM

Yesterday, I visited Hutchins's boat factory to purchase a new Com-Pac cap. My old one is worn out. I was told they are sold out and not offering any more. I loved that cap! Is anyone going to produce them? Does anyone know where to purchase caps?

Very Disappointed,
Gerry

Sorry to hear that. Guess I should take better care of the one I have then.

Dear V,
I will send a pic of my hat when I get back to Wisconsin after April 15. I don't have it with me because I just assumed I could get one a Hutchins. There is a pic on the Hutchins' website for merchandize.

I can send you a hat to copy if the factory says it's OK, and I'm sure they will if asked.

These are more than just an embroidery clone, the particular style (kinda denim-ish) and brand
are really nice and make me better looking than I actually am. Just ask the Admiral.

They had Black, Green, Dark Red, Tan and maybe blue once upon a time.

Maybe some custom Com-pac CLR hats too while we're at it, eh guys?!?!

If Compac is not going to make them anymore, perhaps they can provide their vendor name so we can go direct? Anyone know Gerry or Matt to ask?

The cap I have says "Adams Headwear". Nice quality.
On the front: ComPac logo plus, ComPac Yachts and Hutchins and Clearwater, Fl on the back.
Googled Adams and they have a minimum order of twelve caps.
Adams system must have the digital art work for ComPac embroidery.

Perhaps a Commodore could ask Hutchins for permission deal with Adams and use the logo. Good advertising for a great company.
Also a contact with Adams.

Was on my boat today. So took a photo. Wonder if my hat is the only one in the UK?

Let me know how it goes. Maybe we can do some CPYOA hats that'll make us all look better? ;)

It's May and the sailing season is here. Is anyone selling Com-pac caps? I will be forced to purchase my local marina hat soon if I don't hear that some one is selling caps. Please make me look better.
