I love how they say EXCLUSIVE to their site..lol Had a friend who made several OVER THE TOP hats and patches..and they sent him a warning to stop making them..He told them to kindly F themselves as they didnt have the liscensing for that hat's design..lol But eh patch does look pretty good.

(and probably the best item - as far as exclusiveness goes - is this one: The MAGNUM P.I. Excluive Replica Cap OR Hat Detroit Tigers :D

Yeah. The script doesn't look quite right, but it's a decent reproduction. They probably thought red would be more likely to sell today. Alas, the days of florescent pink are over.

Don't worry, they will be back - and do not throw away your aloha shirts either, they will be fashionable soon enough - with the '80s revival all about...

btw if anyone wants a real vintage item, this one might be it - a niche Detroit Tigers cap :)

Looks exactly like my hand drawn Get Wet logo. I wonder what the folks at Downing Hawaii would think of the infringement. The Ds and Get Wet are registered trademarks.

I wrote Keone Downing about the cap on Ebay. He is going to take legal action as this is a clear trademark infringement, and he asked me to ask Magnum PI fans not to purchase from this seller. Good news for those of who want the Get Wet Cap. He is trying to find the original blank caps, and when he does they will reissue the original Get Wet caps. He said in the email that he will let me know when this happens.

AWESOME!!! Maybe seeing this on Ebay made him rethnk that theres money and interest in the hats after all. I remember when he was first approached about redoing the hats...didn't seem all that interested...Great news. Thanks for posting brother.

I'm not sure I get it about the Detroit Tigers cap! Why would anyone buy that piece of crap on ebay, when you can get a official MLB 'fitted' cap. That's what Magnum wore on the show, not one with an adjustable strap. I do wish they would go back to the green, instead of the light gray they use now! Also when you look at Magnum's cap, they didn't have the MLB insignia on the back then. I remember when they started putting them on the caps. When I would buy a new cap, I would take a felt pen, and darken that thing. So, just to refresh, the old caps were green under the bill, and had no insignia in the back!

Well ... just get a vintage one, green under bill, your size, and use for example a sharp pointed kitchen knife and kill the mlb and new era embroidery ... that should do the trick in, say, half an hour!
