The Skipper's hat Alan Hale wore is manufactured by Lancaster Cap Company of L.A. CA. They are pricey. Around 275.00 ea at last check. I usually order them a couple at a time and work them over on the price a bit to get a little better deal.

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale about a tiny ship… If the S.S. Minnow had never left the port, we wouldn’t have the misadventures of Gilligan, the Skipper, the Professor, Mr. and Mrs. Howell, Ginger, and Mary Ann on the fan-favorite Gilligan’s Island. Classic TV nerds could attest that Nerd Kung Fu has more officially licensed Gilligan’s Island graphic tees and apparel than that desert isle has coconuts. Featuring retro images of the castaway cast printed in full-color on a huge selection of cotton-blend t-shirts and apparel for men, women & juniors, girls, youth & kids.

For Cookie’s Skipper garb, I ordered a kid’s size 2T polo shirt ($7.75) and a tiny captain’s hat ($3.40 and part of a sexy lady sailor outfit? Really!). In shopping around, I thought that the polo shirts made especially for dogs were too expensive. Some ran into the $30 range. Plus, Cookie has an unconventional body shape so I was not guaranteed that the dog shirt would fit. My toddler polo worked perfectly without needing any alterations. Total cost: $12.oo. more
My Halloween dreams came true this year. Every single year I get a wild idea to dress up in costume for Halloween but we never seem to actually follow through. But, this year, we got off the island and rocked our group Halloween costumes. Of course, the entire scenario was based around Cookie, the littlest and grumpiest skipper!
For my Mary Ann costume, I already had the wig, ribbons, checkered shirt and denim capris in my repertoire. So, really, it was free. Here I am with my favorite “little buddy.” more
To complete Gilligan’s look, I added a large white floppy bucket hat ($10.00) ordered from Amazon.com as well. Total cost: $24.00. more
Meanwhile, Robbie, the unaccompanied kid, is sneaking around the island, and even snatches a hamburger from the Skipper's plate when he is not looking. As he is doing this, he climbs trees, swings from tree to tree via vines like Tarzan, and even shows a lot of skill as a gymnast. His parents end up coming over from the cruise ship to find him after realizing he was not in the ship's gym or on the boat at all. Gilligan goes out and eventually finds him, and learns he ran away from his parents due to undue pressure put on him to work hard to go to the Olympics, and how he would love to be more like a regular kid and not be practicing for eight hours a day on the weekends. Gilligan does not agree to hide him from his parents and eventually he is reunited with them, where his parents learn why he ran away and agree to dial it down, realizing they never listened to what he really wanted.

Henry continues to fuss over work, despite Myra and the rest of the castaways trying to help him relax, but nothing helps; not a massage, not fishing, not snorkeling, nothing. Henry even finds the only pay phone on the island (hidden in a fake tree in the lobby, and used only for emergencies) and tries to call his office back in Cleveland, then panics because no one answers there, only for Myra to remind him of the time zone difference. Henry finally decides to placate his wife by changing out of his suit (which he had been wearing since getting off the Minnow IV) into a pair of shorts and a polo shirt, and does not shave. She is not too impressed with his new look or his sudden desire to adapt to the vacation, but she reluctantly goes along with it. It is shown to be an attempt to use reverse psychology to drive Myra to want to leave sooner, but she caught Henry telling that to another couple they have spoken to before (one of whom is a dentist, and is glad to get away from work for a vacation), and winds up threatening to have them stay for many weeks.

The second half — which was originally intended as a pilot for a Love Boat-type of weekly series — picks up a year later, with the island now a tropical resort fully linked to civilization called "The Castaways" which is based on the theme of vacationers indulging on a lifestyle similar to original castaways without electricity, cars, newspapers, radios, televisions, & telephones as escapism from their everyday routine. The resort is owned by Mr. Howell who also makes the other castaways silent partners in the hotel. The rest of the castaways also work as staff members of the resort, where the Skipper and Gilligan man a motor whale boat, aptly named Minnow IV, that shuttles people to and from cruise ships that stop at the island. here
Another story is the luau planned for that night and how the Professor found ancient masks to hang at the beach for it. The desk clerk, Naheeti (played by Hawaiian actress Mokihana), warns of evil spirits coming from the masks, which the Professor naturally blows off. He then shows stickers on the insides of the masks saying "MADE IN CHICAGO" to put everyone's mind at ease. Later on at the luau, Henry is seen finally relaxing for real and enjoying himself, apologizing to Myra for being so uptight. When Myra suggests coming back in a year, Henry says he wants to return in six months and see if he can talk Mr. Howell into building condos on the island (to which Myra laughs). The Professor also admits to everyone the "MADE IN CHICAGO" stickers on the masks were placed on them himself to try to prove there is nothing to worry about. Of course, after that, the smaller masks move, and the pole the big mask was on falls onto the table they are sitting at, sending a bowl of poi in the air, landing on the Professor's head. The Professor offers no comment to that. [links]
On one such trip, the Minnow IV brings two married couples to the island. One couple has Henry Elliot (Tom Bosley), a workaholic real estate business man from Cleveland, whose wife, Myra (Marcia Wallace), is trying to get to relax and forget about work, as well as an unaccompanied minor named Robbie (Ronnie Scribner). It is initially assumed the kid belonged to either the Elliots or the other couple on the boat, but neither couple claims the boy (the Elliots mention their kids being back home, and Henry actually forgets how many they have), nor does any other couple staying on the island.

During the attempt to fly to Hawaii, the plane has engine trouble. The Professor orders Gilligan to jettison some weight, causing him to fall out and parachute down to the island. The castaways opt to return for Gilligan, although the Professor warns it will be impossible to take off again. Immediately after landing, the engine falls off, and the Skipper surmises it would have been certain death had it happened while airborne. Gilligan inadvertently has saved the castaways. The group finds Gilligan is safe but they are dismayed, as the plane was their final hope of rescue. However, a U.S. Navy captain suddenly appears saying that the castaway's plane was detected on radar long enough for them to track it to the island. The castaways once again return to civilization, and the U.S. government pinpoints the island's location to prevent future castaway incidents. After being rescued, Mr. Howell decides to build a resort hotel on the island, calling it a "living tribute", to the years the seven castaways lived together on the island. [links]
