Just gorgeous! Perfection!

gabrielle

Love it! Very nice hat.

gabrielle

Really just interested in pix of the Penman SOC fedoras. Any color.

gabrielle

I am saving for a Penman fedora with a SOC bash, nice and boxy. Has anyone purchased one like this from Penman Hats and if so how do you like it. Photos welcome.

gabrielle

Just checked and still no reply from Steve. I'm going to give it another week because of the tremendous amount of emails I'm sure he has to get through. After that I'm going to try calling and see if that gets me anywhere. Basically I just want to be sure my order wasn't lost and that I will be get...

gabrielle

I gave up, but the wife remembered. Now I have to do something. Ordered in March 2008. You have waited even longer than me, which proves there are still older orders out there. I emailed Steve but no response. Think I will try calling next. Just want to make sure he knows I paid and am waiting for ...

gabrielle

I think I've proven my support by waiting 5 years for the hat!

gabrielle

Hey don't you owe gmann a box a shipping money for a few years? Yes I do and I hope to find it and send it to him. I have it somewhere but I moved and everything was boxed up and scattered throughout my new house. I am getting through everything slowly but surely between working full time and other...

gabrielle

Although I would pay the extra if absolutely necessary in order to receive my hat, I don't feel that it would be fair really. I ordered in good faith and have waited 5 years. I knew the wait would be long but 5 years is ridiculous really!

gabrielle

I ordered the beaver in a cairo bash 5 years ago. How much of an up-charge are we talking?

gabrielle

I had finally decided to pay the additional amount necessary to get into the 6-8 week list. The one I had ordered back in '08 was so outstanding I couldn't resist ordering a back-up. How do you get on the list for 6-8 weeks? I will gladly pay the extra amount! And how did you get in touch with Stev...

gabrielle

I am desperate to receive my hat from Steve. I ordered May 21st 2008 and still no hat. I understand Steve is sick, but I'm getting sick over waiting for this hat and the money I spent! Anyone at all hear anything about these hats?

gabrielle

Ok I have been very patient and very understanding, but I'm really starting to get concerned about my cairo bash fedora from Steve. I ordered May 21, 2008 and have not gotten a hat or any word at all about what to expect. I can't be here as much as I like because my nursing job takes a lot of my tim...

gabrielle

I think this past May was my 3 year mark waiting for my Cairo bash hat. I ordered May 21st 2008. Nothing yet not a word.

gabrielle

So I'm waiting for a SOC just shy of 22 1/4". Nice and boxy with the hearts on top. How about you others that are waiting?

gabrielle

Yes I ordered May 2008, lol!!!

gabrielle

I ordered end of May 2007 right before the price went up. Still no hat. It will be 3 years this coming May. Should I be worried?!!!

gabrielle

I'm so sorry I haven't been around much. So much happening that I just haven't been able to come here as much as I would like lately. My job has been so complicated lately and my Aunt had a heart attack, it's been unreal. Anyway I was wondering where we are in terms of receiving AB hats. I ordered ...

gabrielle

Just beautiful and looks great on you! John does exceptional work.

gabrielle

I truly appreciate the update. Now I can get back to just worrying about my Aunt and nothing else! Parents were to see her tonight and she opened her eyes briefly and held up her hand! I'm going Saturday.

Wear your hats in good health my friends, and I sincerely mean that...

gabrielle

Thank you very much for the kind words. My Aunt went into cardiac arrest 2 weeks after having a pace maker put in. She is on a respirator now and heavily sedated so we really don't know her condition. She seems to follow you around her room with her eyes when awake and squeeze your hand when you ask...

gabrielle

Hi everyone. I haven't been here for awhile because my Aunt has been very ill. I just stopped to check on my AB. I ordered May 21st 2008 so it's been 15 months. I was wondering where we are in terms of time? Has anyone gotten a hat close to the same time I ordered? Sorry if this is somewhere else, b...

gabrielle

=P~ I'm sorry I'm at a loss for words John! Your hats are so darn beautiful. My beaver is breaking in nicely. I'll get a pix to you as soon as I have some down time. My next will be a granite beaver with Cairo styling then another brown with Cairo. Sorry, but Cairo is my all time fav and they all en...

gabrielle

Hey Steve, I don't mind waiting as the end result is more than worth it! What is the number of the hat shop? I did change some things in my order and wanted to make sure you received them. Emails don't really work well and I think talking to you would be perfect. Only for a few minutes though! Don't...

gabrielle

I draw the line at a 5 year wait. To me nothing is worth waiting 5 years. I would buy another brand of knife!!!

gabrielle

That pre-distressed Raiders is perfect!!! What a beauty...

gabrielle

Thanks for all of the info Derek

gabrielle

That would be wonderful!!! I'll call out sick that day so I have all day to play with my AB...

gabrielle

I wonder if Steve alerts you that your fedora is on the block or that it shipped or anything? It's always so windy here I've already had packages blow right off my porch into the yard. Thank God the hedges caught them or they would be in Oz by now. Don't think I wouldn't fight a munchkin for my AB, ...

gabrielle

Hi all. Has anyone received an AB they ordered in 2008? I ordered May 2008 and just wondered where we were in terms of dates. I guess I'm getting excited again because in a month or so it will be my 1 year anniversary!!!

I'm drooling for my AB, lol

gabrielle

gabrielle

Hope this hasn't been covered already, but how do the hats hold up in terms of toughness? Can they withstand the elements without tapering?

gabrielle

I would call and try to get him that way. I believe his number is posted on the Adventurebilt website.

gabrielle

I am really interested. If you have them available I'll take one.

gabrielle

Nice job Marc. I see many wonderful hats coming from there!!!

gabrielle

I'm thinking to keep it from tapering. The bash is set now so it pops right back in after the hat drys.

gabrielle

I popped out the bash and sweat and let it dry on a hat rack with no ill effects at all. Looks just like it did before I got caught in the storm!!!

This was my Penman and I love it so much I sold my other hats and am saving for a steel gray Penman...

gabrielle

Thank God you are alright, that's all that matters Ohio. Your guardian angel was certainly with you that day and did a great job of keeping you safe. I'm glad they caught the other driver too because more often than not the drunk person suffers no injuries and the innocent driver takes a beating...I...

gabrielle

Fine looking Raiders hat and it looks great on you. Please wear it with confidence and forget what others say. That hat has a wonderful look...

gabrielle

Now that's just a beauty!!! Congrats on the great looking lid which only seems to get better the more you wear it...

$\:D/$

gabrielle

Welcome back and good luck with everything, you were missed!!!

gabrielle

Great article!!! Thanks so much for sharing. The photos are really great too.

gabrielle

Why don't you try flipping out the sweat band and wetting it then put it back in place and put the hat over a lamp for awhile, supervised of course. I have heard that you can shrink a hat a whole size with this method...Ask Michaelson, I believe he's used this method with good success before.

gabrielle

It could also be a shadow or a stain on the hat. If you look really close there is another darker spot on the felt on the right side of the hat just like the one on top.

gabrielle

I can't speak for everyone, but my favorite attire is a pair of jeans, a polo shirt or t-shirt, a pair of leather dockers and belt with a brown or gray fedora.

gabrielle

Great story. It's funny, but since I was a kid I've sort of always had a picture in my mind of detectives and reporters wearing fedoras, must be I watched too many movies!!!

gabrielle

Very impressive. I'm happy my hat will have the new block. Looks great!!!

gabrielle

I have my Penman, an HJ styled by Marc and an AB SOC style on the way. I think maybe I'll order an AB deluxe and a gray Penman. That will be a good hat collection for any occasion. Of course I have a Barmah in mocca too that I love.

gabrielle

-20 with the wind chill here in PA. Attire...down jacket, scarf, gloves and my Penman.

gabrielle

The more you wear it the more it shapes itself to your head and the more the bash will settle in. Soon it will feel and look, as it should, like it was made just for you!!!
