I did nothing wrong. I spoke the truth. If anyone wants to hear the truth like one of the admins suggested I'll tell you. Feel free to contact me at info@penmanhats.com I have nothing to hide.

BendingOak

I'll leave that to the admins to explain. I'm out.

BendingOak

It's too bad as the members are the ones who are going to miss out.

BendingOak

Hopefully people will see it but I afraid since the Everyman is being buried, I have my doubts.

BendingOak

I think the temple hat gets a bad rap because of this scene.

If you see that effect on a brand new hat, then someone didn't put the ribbon on correct. Now the Indy ribbon is tricky thing as when it gets wet it expands a bit but when it dries it will tighten up. Tricky ribbon to work with.

BendingOak

I think you are making the same mistake most do about this cockpit Temple hat. If you remember Willie grabs the hatband fans indy when trying to wake him up. He grabs the hat and puts it on. He doesn't fix the hat at all. The hat isn't tapered. It's crunched up in the back and that's why the hat app...

Now ready to start taking pre-orders for the Everyman non Indy hats. These are a 50/50 blend rabbit/beaver. There will be 3 color options. Granite, Whiskey and Dark Moss. There are a few styles possible with them. Diamond , Center dent, Pork-pie, C-Crown. These two samples are all I have for now(col...

Everyman Indy Pre-orders have been shipped out and are on there way.Might be best to follow me on my e-mailer found on my site http://www.penmanhats.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or one of the social media I belong to.

BendingOak

They may have factor in on how much their sweatbands shrink. Federations are good hats for what you pay. You can't expect high end quality out of it. Those sweatbands are going to shrink, sound advise to stuff it, wear it, factor in shrinking a lot, and hopefully it will work.

Block is improved thanks to Steve Delk Adventurebilt hats

BendingOak

When buy any hat custom or off the rack it is always best to give your exact measurements to that person or company. Let them size you to there hats. no company I have seen has a accurate hat size chart, so they aren't helpful. Also factory made hats sometimes aren't what they are labeled as.

BendingOak

Everyman Indy pre-orders and my stock are in. I will need a couple days to go though all of them and then pack and ship. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10206673715978184&set=a.10200550409099339.1073741825.1131888909&type=3&theater" onclick="window.open(this.href);retur...

Just an FYI, I'm currently booked up to December. It would be a good idea if you want a hat for x-mas or to give a gift for X-mas, now would be a good idea to order now. The other option you could do is to buy a gift certificate and let that special someone pick out their own hat.

BendingOak

I had the same thing happen with Adventurebilt hat and hat boxes and a letter from my Lawer put an end to that.

BendingOak

I've posted this in the past, but will do so again as a suggestion to keep in mind next time you order......give them your exact head measurement and ask them to match a hat to that measurement, instead of just giving them a hat size. That way they have to pull out a tape measure and check a hat be...

BendingOak

I'm afraid if you trim the brim the crown might look to large for the brim. I would leave it the way it is. It's only off a tiny amount.

BendingOak

I wouldn't cut the brim, the specs are right. But the LC hat had all different specs almost from scene to scene. What is your head measurements? And can you post a side view without the hat on?

2.75 inches for both.

I'm sorry silly me. And the sides?

BendingOak

The right tool and a little skill is needed. Yes to answer your question. What is the brim size front and back?

BendingOak

Depends how much the original crease is set in. original crease? if you are rebashing/recreasing a hat. One would assume you had a bash or crease in it already, correct? You would need to take out the original bash/crease. You can do it if the original bash/crease isn't set in. If it is, you will n...

Depends how much the original crease is set in.

BendingOak

Salt plays a factor in it as well. Brushing a hat on a regular bases will help.

BendingOak

I think the reason you think they fade fast as you would tend to wear them in hotter weather. Everything fades from the sun.

BendingOak

Since the topic was brought up. Felt will fade the first year or so depending on the amount of sun it gets. There are other factors as well. That is the main reason why Steve Delk aka Adventirebilt hats went with the slightly darker felt. He wanted his Indy hats to be screen accurate for the most of...

Very true

BendingOak

Get a fed 4

BendingOak

First 3 films wear rabbit, the 4th was beaver. First movie were more of a custom built from HJ and the next two were off the rack Hats from HJ. 4th custom beaver from Adventurebilt.

BendingOak

You can't knock out stiffener. Steam will be your friend to re-activate it. But in my opinion the fed
Is way too stiff.

BendingOak

Make sure your center debt are at 4 1/2 in the front and 4 in the back. Once you get that set then start the side dents. Try tweaking as you go rather then putting in anything too sharp.

BendingOak

Easy ones tend to be the correct ones.

BendingOak

It's most likely that he just didn't notice it wasn't in straight. I have that same problem with my AB legacy. The felt is so floppy that if I'm not looking at it in a mirror I some times have it off a tad.

BendingOak

Anytime, my door is always open. Anyone is free to call me at 971-246-1832 or e-mail me at info@penmanhats.com

BendingOak

It's always the best and should be the first choice to contact the person directly as you will get accurate information and the most up to date information.

BendingOak

I can always send out my portable conformator to not only get a accurate reading of your head size but also shape. Just remember that it has a lot more moving parts then a tape measure and a crown.

I think the last shot looks great.

BendingOak

You are welcome. I'm always around to help.

BendingOak

I don't want to be a jerk either, or offend anyone, but May is my eighth year of waiting for my order. And lest anyone think I don't sympathize or understand what Steve is going through, I was diagnosed with lung cancer last year. I understand. Sorry to hear that and thank you for your understanding.

BendingOak

Why not go straight to the source and as Marc? I'm sure he will know better then anyone else.

BendingOak

The felt is not really the limiting. Issue on being able to fold or roll a hat for travel. (Other than obviously western hats with 40 lbs of stiffener in them). The limitation is the sweatband. Akubras have a wire reed in the sweatband that will kink if you fold the hat. Penman, Adventurebilt and G...

So here is the problem: I have a BEAUTIFUL Penman fedora that looks awesome brand new. But I have an upcoming comicon and want that 'distressed' look. My question is how do I achieve that look without altering the hat itself. In otherwords; how do I get that distressed look but only temporary?? Ful...

BendingOak

I would always suggest putting in the center crease in first then anything else. Once in place make sure in the front the center crease is at 4 1/2 inches and around 4" in the back depending on the brand. Then lightly put in the front punch. Then each side one by one. Tweaking as you go. The bi...

BendingOak

or could it be simply that the person who sent it to you sent it a box he just had and it had nothing to do with AB.

BendingOak

It never crossed my mind. Just dropping the info off for everyone who is waiting for a hat from him.

BendingOak

I ordered a Raiders in rabbit 6 weeks ago. I figured that since it seems like Steve's been doing ok with new orders, it would be worth the risk. But I've emailed him twice since I replied to his initial email with a picture of my face, and haven't heard back either time. I'm very confused, because ...

Congrats on the AB. I'm not sure where you are getting 4 months for the Everan Indy???
