Probably just as well. Getting things in and out of country is pretty much at a stand still now if you use USPS due to the pandemic. You have no clue if or even when it would reach Marc, let alone if they'd do anything with it. Good luck, and let us know how your hat turns out! Regards! Michaelson ...

Ok. My lid is scheduled for Penman coming up, as I don't know who else to turn to.

Sitting Rabbit

Anyone have any luck recently contacting Marc?

Sitting Rabbit

Ok, will do, and thanks.

Glad I'm not the only one having trouble. I'll get my name on Penman's list for a reblock. Not sure what to think anymore about Marc or Stefan. Just leaving me hang there with no response, nothing on their website.....

Sitting Rabbit

I had my hat reblocked a size too big. Last I heard from them was Stefan in October 2016 that they were taking a break. I desperately want it reblocked a size smaller, no matter the cost. I thought about asking Penman, but a long time ago, Marc said that if anyone else ever worked on my hat, he'd ne...

Well just my own experiance. My MKVIII had a snap come un-done. :x Looked around for replacemnts, but only was able to locate not even close enoughs :( So I contacted Wade about canvas straps on the side, needed one replaced, so I figured, contact him for his insight. Said send it to him heas some ...

Sitting Rabbit

I'm still looking!

It sits in my closet waiting for the original snaps somewhere in some box in England somewhere. Anyone out there found any? Anyone willing to put new ones on for me? Let me know. Thanks.

Stephan got back to me. He seems nice. Just need a reblock and clean. I just wish the USD was worth what it used to be. Poor college students like myself take a beating!

Sitting Rabbit

Received them June 2009 I believe.

Sitting Rabbit

My brother ordered his July 2007 and both my Dad and I ordered ours March 2008. My brother and I received ours, but my Dad never did. I've emailed Steve over the years, and I get about 1 reply a year saying (You're Dad's hat is coming). That's all I get! He would very much like to be wearing his hat...

Sitting Rabbit

I sent him and email 2 weeks ago and haven't heard from him. All I need is a clean and re-block. I just sent him another email to both addresses as well as a PM. We'll see if he gets back.

Sitting Rabbit

Yeah, I too sent him an email (to both addresses) about 2 weeks ago to get in touch with him about a clean and re-block, but haven't heard back from him. I just send him another round plus a PM, so we'll see if he gets back to me.

Sitting Rabbit

March 2008 here for my dad's hat still not received.

I got mine and my brother got his, and this is the only one left.

Sitting Rabbit

Hello all,

I've been trying and trying to get a response back from Mr. Steve Delk (Fedora) for the past couple of years with no avail. I have a hat order from March of 2008 that I haven't received yet. Thanks.

Sitting Rabbit

Since I've been unable to locate the original snaps, I'm ready to just put some regular ones on (maybe ones that would match the holes at the bottom. My bag is so mint (other than the snap broken off) that it almost looks like a fake, lol. Anyone know how to put new snaps on? Anyone willing to put t...

Sitting Rabbit

Removing snaps while keeping them intact is not really possible. Snap tops are set like rivets, when they're pressed together the metal is furled backwards to effectively meld the two pieces together. When you pound or cut the snaps apart your left without the post on the snap top you need to refas...

Sitting Rabbit

Sitting Rabbit - It'll probably be a fairly long ways down the road before I may tackle that aspect and I'd like to first see if anyone responds about how to remove them successfully. I may give a call or email Wade Egan to get a better idea of how to do this, where to get very close replacement sn...

Yeah, I thought about junk bags. The only problem is that I'd end up using the junk bags for something else :? Ah! That problem, eh? :-k I know exactly what you mean! I've bought a few different Raiders shirts with the intention of actually "using" them for daily wear and adventures --- I...

Those studs on soldier of fortune look like the guts of the snap that broke off, but the front is smooth with black on it. I might have to buy a set and rub the paint off like you suggested. Thanks for the idea. It may resort to that too.

Thanks for the image site. I'll have to sign up.

I have sourced high and low for these snaps and have only been able to find cheap plastic versions or tops stamped with some other emblem or the like. I know it is possible to heat and stamp the standard brass snap top using a torch, spot setter, and design stamp but it is tricky and very prone to ...

Anyone have any luck locating the snaps I'm looking for? On the bottom of the snap (the inside part), it reads "newey pat. 201430-22". I know that the Newey company made a lot of snaps and different closures. I'm still looking to fix my bag. Thanks.

Sitting Rabbit

Nope, mine are the original snaps and I kind of wanted to keep them original. The snaps are rough in the middle with a ring around the outside. I really don't want to have to get the shiny snaps from "Joanne Fabrics". My bag is in mint condition (like it was just made), and is the real McC...

Sitting Rabbit

Still didn't find any. Anyone had any luck finding these? I know others want them too, so don't be shy

Sitting Rabbit

Just did, thanks for the advice.

Sitting Rabbit

Hello all,
I have a MKVII bag that has the snaps with the ring around the outside, and has the tooling rough surface on the inside. One of my snaps busted off and cannot be fixed. Does anyone know where to get new ones? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know that at my college (grad school), they all dress like they just came from the gym. They think I'm weird because I dress nice, but who cares! In my mind, it's THEM who dress weird.

Sitting Rabbit

I don't care if the ballcap wearers don't take their hats off, it's impolite, especially with a hat with such a tall crown. Agreed. If we're to bring back wearing nice hats (which used to be part of a dress code), then shouldn't we bring back proper hat etiquette as well? Our standards as a society...

The "bump" on the back of your head is called your "External Occipital Protuberance", or "EOP" for short. And the eye brow ridges continue to grow outwards the rest of your life, so if you lived to at least a couple of hundred years old, they would start to stick out. ...

It used to be that you weren't completely dressed until you had a lid on your noggen. I think today's standards of dress are awful.

Indy's "Traveling Hat" might also be called his "Dress-Up Hat". People used to dress-up to travel instead of the current abysmal style of "barely-dressed". One simply wasn't admitted to most bars, clubs, and restaurants without jacket & tie -- couldn't even sit in ...

Nice fedoras never go out of style, only people go out of style

With a nice Fedora, you're sure to get noticed, but you can see in some of their eyes, "Wonder where he got that?!".
