Gotta say, those are some good looking jackets. Dig on the packaging too.

Cheers!

Well done John!

Great looking lid. One cannot grasp how immense that aircraft is until they are standing right next to it or in it. It dwarfs any other aircraft in that museum including the B-17.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Well done John.

Now lets hope this will open an even bigger door for you.

Cheers!

This was around last Christmas. My Penman Raider. Not quite soaked through but nice and wet. It did seem to fit and look better after getting out in the rain. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b278/DanielJones/Penman%20Hats/100_6859.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b278/DanielJones/Penman%20Hat...

Next year. Sounds like a plan.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Great hat in a great story. Would dig on seeing the drenched version too.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Dang! :( We were out and about Saturday too. If I had known about it I would have headed down town to check it all out. One of these days when we go over to Powell's Books I'm going to have to wander into that vintage clothing shop. Might find something interesting. Ah well, maybe next year we can c...

DanielJones

Good feeling knowing your hats are making the global rounds, huh?

Cheers!

Agreed!

Legend? Dave Ding, ding, ding, ding!!! :clap: That is the one sir! Again, John did a great job on this one. The top of the crown was really thick too so it didn't really take the center dent well. Now it pinches up really nice and makes those distinctive camel humps. He showed me a block that had t...

DanielJones

Great Fathers Day gift at a serious bargain.

Very cool indeed. can't wait to see what it looks like on your noggin.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Correct on the reblocker DR U. Penman did a fantastic job with this one.

There wasn't nearly the amount of varnish to begin with so it started out floppy and didn't give John any fits.

And yes it is a Camptown Texas Scott & DR U, but which model?

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Here is another round of guess that hat. I had this one reblocked, new sweatband and ribbon and liner. The crown was kind of cockeyed so I figured a proper reblocking was in order. The ribbon is the third one on it as the second one I put on to replace the original was from Todd's and really wouldn'...

DanielJones

That hat suits your Papaw perfectly. Very well done matching it to his proportions.

He sure looks like he is happy with it. Does he wear it going out and about?

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

I just had my Camptown Legend reblocked by John Penman (Bendingoak). Fantastic job too. Had the sweatband replaced since the wire in the reeding got tweaked and it was getting out of shape. Send him a PM and see what he can do for you. You won't be sorry. If I can I'll post some pics to show off his...

DanielJones

Again, I would be interested in seeing some pics from the front while you are sort of looking down. It will gibe a better straight on shot of the crown and then we can better assess the degree of taper to the crown. Lifting the chin kind of gets an under shot of the hat and makes the whole crown loo...

DanielJones

Dang slowdevil, that is one fantastically composed shot. Well done.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Looks good.

Can't wait to see it on Papaw's head.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

I wouldn't say dopey. But, it doesn't look like it fits you and the crown looks way tapered. Try a shot where you are looking more at the ground so we are looking straight on at the nat instead of looking up at it. The angle of the shot gives the hat the effect that it is seriously tapered. Straight...

DanielJones

Yeah, it's a matter of perspective and getting used to something that you've never worn before. Now, I used to wear cowboy hats all the time so I was used to see & being seen in a hat with a wide brim and tall crown. When you have a 4" brim for so many years the Indy brim sure seems small i...

DanielJones

Looks like it has weathered well Ken.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Very groovy!

I'm liking that color for sure. Suits you perfectly.

John's correct, another great one from Steve.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Congratulations John! Now the heat is on.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

John may be ket too busy now.

Looks like I'm going to have to pop in a little more often to keep you on your toes John. Congratulations!

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Bump! Any new images Luke? How do you like it thus far?

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Looks like those monkeys are long ovals too.

They need hats!

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

That hat doe look slick on her John. Open crown was the way to go, but you could almost do a homburg center dent as well and she could pull it off smartly.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

With the new WPG shirt, did they take out the pleat in the back? It's hard to tell in your photos.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Congratulations! The hat looks great fresh out of the box and on your noggin.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Well Anubis I will agree that the Metropolitan is way thicker & stiffer than the Fieldmaster by a long shot, but it does eventually soften up. Just takes a lot of handling. John can attest as to how tough it is to work with. All, in all though I can't wait to see what you do with yours. After th...

Great pic Hardbop!

Has that very classic working engineer look From the hat to the boots. Well done!

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Great hats and manga collection you have there SRX.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Good looking lid John!

I'm sure she will dig on it for sure.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Well in any case, you got a great hat at what I would guess is a great deal to boot. Looks good on you too. Congratulations!

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Holy cat Tekors!

Amazing Story you have there. glad you made it out with "your" hide intact. Keep your head down from now on.

And that was a non-lethal blast?

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Congrats!

Can't wait to see it Luke!

Cheers!

Got my Duluth Trading cardigan. It's very nice, but I have to send it back because it's too big. So if you're 6' and 200 pounds, the XL will be too big for you. It's a rich chocolate color, very pretty. Matched my Penman nicely. When I get the correct size I'll get some MOTB gear pics up. Did you g...

DanielJones

Interesting use for the bag. Great idea for the minimalist gym rat like me.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Fantastic lid Bartram!

LLS did a fantastic bit of work with that one. Goes perfectly with your eyewear.

Cheers!

Dan

Fantastic work Jason and great pics ANJALI.

Well done all the way around!

Looks great Croft! Pairs perfectly with that hat for sure.

I came across something interesting while watching How William Shatner Changed the World . It was the part talking about the holodeck, and they were showing a scene in which Data was playing Sherlock Holmes I think in the episode 'Ship in a Bottle'. He is wearing a dressing gown very similar Indys, ...

DanielJones

Thus far I only have the one Penman, but that isn't going to be the last. Sort of like Lays potato chips, you can't have just one. Something John puts in the felt makes his hats rather addictive.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Fantastic looking dressing gown, well done!

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Fantastic looking hat Frenchie!

Can't wait to see it in action. Wear that baby in good health, and in good or bad weather. We know they can take it.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Fantastic Croft!

You're going to enjoy this sweater. But, like you I still want the Magnoli one too. At least we'll have it for next season.

Please be sure to post it in action.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

And it just might at that. A private museum behind glass in under the correct lighting, but a museum nonetheless.

Cheers!

Dan

DanielJones

Great combination with the suit and hat Barcelona Jones!

And the hat always seems to look a little better with a bit of weather on it. We know they can take it.

Cheers!

Found a few more shots of Michael Caine in that robe that are better. http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/5800000/The-Muppet-Christmas-Carol-Screencaps-michael-caine-5823464-570-330.jpg http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/5800000/The-Muppet-Christmas-Carol-Screencaps-michael-caine-5823463-57...
