Re: Herbert Johnson DoD

I would LOVE to see very good, high resolution pics of a HJ DOD fedora next to a known HJ (Either sable or the new dark sable) in natural daylight, or even multiple lighting conditions. I still can’t really tell if I like it or not, and it’s kinda driving me nuts. :-k

Re: Herbert Johnson DoD

A darker hat in Nutmeg with a lighter color Sable ribbon. Almost a “Reverse Indy” Fedora. Check out this new HJ video with Michelle, and a bunch of familiar faces. Fascinating, and worth a watch: https://youtu.be/7T53d3DDmkw

It's a sticky label applied to the liner. It's how HJ did it after the days of the unicorn logo. It's legit. Mine has the same oval.

Hey John, what about a brown or tan, thin bag (maybe canvas) with a Penman logo on one side that one could fold up and store in the pocket of a jacket or gas mask bag? Large enough to store a fedora in, and you could either place it under your chair, or hang it on the back. What do you think? Johnny

In NO WAY is THAT hat even remotely like a Penman or Advenurebilt.
