We are having a viewing of the hats Thursday, November 17 at the Newport Board Club - Hats will be shipped Friday Nov. 18

This is a patch made in collaboration with John Wayne Enterprises to tell the story of life aboard John Wayne's private boat the Wild Goose.

Every boat needs a burgee - a flag with an emblem that symbolizes the boat - The two burgees featured on John Wayne's buoy are focused on in this patch.  They are the Newport Harbour Yacht Club crossed with the Wild Goose burgee.  The background color is the faded red of the buoy.

"Boat Hat x Wild Goose" - This patch is part of a collaboration with John Wayne Enterprises.  John Wayne's son, Ethan Wayne gave us a rare journey through their extensive archival imagery of life aboard the Wild Goose and regaled us the stories of what it was like growing up taking trips all over the world and the kind of father John Wayne was.
