Alex,

A reversible T-shirt printed up with northern and southern hemisphere stars would be cool. The baseball cap bill underside would be a good place for dip and refraction tables. As for 0.2 mm ...hmm ... I think that's getting close to something that will cut a chart in half if pressed too hard ;-)

On a more serious note, the upper end mechanical pencils work better along a straight edge or triangle compared to pencils from Wal Mart. Specialized drafting erasers are much easier on paper charts.

How about navigations caps and T-shirts?
:-)

I use a Wal Mart pencil, mechanical, with eraser, and never suspected
that there are special navigational ones. Probably they are for putting
0.2 mm dots on the maps with navigation "protractors".
Or maybe they have Sun declination table on the pencil side?
For emergency:-)
