Skipper Tapestries

Captain: The man

I believe this is a Dion Skipper butterfly. Taken in York River Park, Virginia. June, 2021.

One of our "lost" designs from our first version of the Skipper Store, but showcasing that cannibalism jokes and caffeine never really go out of style.

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.

Somehow it's been 10 years since we launched our podcast, and we've had people asking if we were going to create any shirts for it. (Answer: yes) So, here's one of two beauties celebrating that we've made it 10 years with 3.5 million downloads and a ton of episodes...

I don't know about you, but the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland has always made me wonder... what do Hippos watch for Saturday Morning Cartoons? Wait, I'm the only one? Really? Well, enjoy this shirt anyway. (Our artwork is art by Skippers, for Skippers, and this artwork by the magical Richard Wallace. Richard is also the artist for the King of the Skippers card game.)

In the breakdown room, all the birdys drink

If you've ever cruised the rivers of adventure... you know the climactic scene which thrills each voyage through the hippo habitat. Now relive that danger with a classic design inspired by another classic American propaganda poster.

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. This work features art by Skipper Richard Wallace, one of the contributors to the Skipper Store

Everyone's favorite excursion!

So, a few years ago, there was a Facebook thread among Jungle Cruise Skippers of multiple generations. The older Skippers were upset about the "feminization" of the Jungle. Skipper Richard Wallace has done some amazing art of female Skippers hanging out in the Jungle for one of our card games. I thought I'd give them some new life.

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...)

She's back, and mad as hell.

Both a giraffe and a skipper! All proceeds of this design will go to benefit Trevor's GoFundMe.

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.

Great gift idea for every sailing ship captain. For all seafarers who love their sailing boat or yacht and always sail out to sea. Minimalistic sail pulse motif.

“Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing. ” ― Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men in a Boat

It's great seeing LGBTQ representation in Disney movies, and the Jungle Cruise movie (while not overly pronounced) did have a touching moment with Jack Whitehall's character. We had so much demand, we wanted to do something to celebrate this moment...

There's something to discover around every corner.

There's a big generational gap between Jungle Cruise Skippers. The split happens in the late 90's, when the spelling of "Boat" suddenly changed to "Bote". Well, to make sure that we are representing all generations, we have shirts available now with both spellings.

Nautical boating, yachting and sailing design featuring an sea anchor is for ship or boat owners, skippers, sea captains, chief mates, merchant navy navigation officers, maritime cadets, bosuns, seamen or sailors.

Whether a nutshell or a big pot - no ship comes to the goal without a crew. Maritime design with paper boat - for your crew and even yourself. Let guests know: On board you know what to do.
