Skipper Socks
Description: To a Jungle Cruise Skipper, there's nothing like the feeling when you step into a bote. (Sure, some people call it a boat, but we know how to spell it.) It's a magical feeling, where you feel utterly comfortable to be yourself, and you know that you belong. In other words... home.
Description: Skipper Ash Rodriguez has joined our Skipper Store community, with her piece lovingly blending the most terrifying monster ever seen in the Jungle, capable of horror and terror, and then some other fish guy. We love this, and we hope you do too! Check out her website at ashrodriguezmakeup.weebly.com.
Description: Now, I don't know much about animals... Ok, I know nearly nothing about animals. But when I go to the zoo, there's one thing I do know. They call these ones, "Stripey Horseys"... (This shirt is in homage to the Jungle Cruise's very famous Stripey Horseys, who have been hanging out on the Veldt for a very long time... and yet few Skippers seem to be able to figure out what they really are...)
Description: Jungle Skippers have a style all of their own, and we celebrate that with our "Skipper Wear" shirts. For the subtle Jungle Skip who wants to make a statement, but doesn't want it blaringly loud through a bullhorn (As you may have noticed, much of our work revolves around Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise Skipper culture. We host a podcast devoted to the subject, and these items are independent homages to the Golden Era of Adventure that the stories from the ride take place in.)
Description: There's a lot of misconception about the misspellings of "Bote" that are out there. Some people even think there is an "A" in it. (I guess there is... "A bote") But, Jungle Skippers of modern generations know their vehicles of choice by this 4 letter name.

Description: "Embark on a nostalgic voyage with our vintage nautical tee! Featuring a detailed ship's wheel with 'S.S. MINNOW' inscription, it evokes adventure and camaraderie. Complete with weathered textures and muted hues, it promises exotic trips and a fearless crew on the 'Island Sharter'."
Description: So, I could give you a nice long explanation of why the Skippers of Disney's Jungle Cruise ride spell it "Bote" when so many other people spell it "Boat". But, it's a long and boring story, with a lot of historical call backs to the 1970's and 80's... So, instead, I'll tell you that the primary people who are probably looking at this shirt are the Skippers and fans of the ride, because they were probably linked here because of the Jungle Crews podcast, the oral history of Disney's Jungle Cruise ride. Hundreds of hours of really great stories of an incredibly fun job that was loved by all.
Description: Explain a Jungle Cruise Skipper to someone who has never been on the ride? Ever been in a discussion with a Jungle Cruise Skipper, and the most random (but funny) joke or pun comes out? Well, it's because of the very unique qualities of the Jungle Cruise Skipper's brain. This is an approximate visual representation of it.
Description: The FOOH celebrates the brotherhood of Jungle Skippers from across the world. From Anaheim, Orlando, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, these amazing Skips have been delivering passengers and humor for 60+ years, and the Order is a support organization making sure that the Skips know they are never alone..
