Re: The "Get Wet" cap
I have a "Get Wet" cap reproduction I bought on EBay in 2012. It was made in Argentina! It's black, silver lettering(get wet Downing Hawaii), and has pink wings! It's adjustable, but for a smaller head! If you google, Magnum get wet cap ebay, it brings up the old ebay link, which still has other caps, a get wet sticker, and an Al's automotive patch!

Re: The "Get Wet" cap
After long search, I found a lightweight one made for performance and running, but it doesn't have a clasp on the back.Styles Bitchley wrote:It also looks like it may be a bit of a heavier material. Magnum's looks like a light weight fabric meant for sports.Sam wrote: Hi Styles,
The hat is close.The paneling looks good and the 4 rows of stitching on the bill appear correct.
The big difference is the hat is fitted to 58cm =7 1/4..I left the link as a starting point for KB thinking they may carry the one size fits all hat.

I think this is the closest we can get, unless I ask my friend from US to order some of those Otto caps and mail them to me.
My vision of the cap:

Yes. Looks pretty accurate!

Re: The "Get Wet" cap
Great to hear you guys like it! Luckily, I can buy these in Europe at any quantity I want.
I'll do a test cap in a few days, and post pictures here as usual.![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: The "Get Wet" cap
Hello Get Wet Group,
I could finally took some time for this project, I hope you can see the pictures. ( Dear Admin PLS HELP
)
It was hard to find a shop around here to finish this, nobody wants to print only ONE cap...
I think this one really close to the original one, Im still looking for some alternatives but this oldschool 5 Panel cap is almost impossible to find today.
If anyone needs a copy of this product, pls contact me I`ll see what can I do.
