I received my Medium on Sept 26, I'm guessing I got the old version?

Either way I love it! Looking forward to seeing the new one though.

I'm missing my Penman already.

I sent it to John for a re-size/new sweat band. I will be anxiously awaiting its return home.

fuzzjunk

I remember when I lost (brother actually destroyed) my first Indy-ish style hat when I was 5yr, I was devastated.

That should be a fine hat for your son.

o3 u3 o3 u3 o3 u3 .........kinda numbs the mind after a spell!

Welcome to COW RRPDD190,

I bought a Todd's shirt in med last may, and its pretty baggy on me. The lengths seem to be ok, its just very roomy in the chest and very roomy in the torso/waist area. I'm looking for a more athletic/fitted fit (5'9", 37-38" chest, 30 waist). I also own a WGP in a small which fits good, e...

fuzzjunk

I own a pair of these too! Very comfortable and look the part as well. I got mine from the flagship store, I live about 15min away.

fuzzjunk

Oh well, I wounder if he will have a Raiders shirt available then too.

Thanks for the update though.

Is Azuma still offering TOD shirts? I tried the link for there website and nothing came up. Any help would be much appreciated.

Nice! Let me know if have another, I'd love to go.

Thanks for the comments guys! Hopefully will get some sun up here in Maine, the weather has been miserable. Maine ?, how far up, I'm near Portsmouth NH. Still love the lid, and I second the "at arms length" shot, as it goes your arms must be just the right length. :TOH: Croft :mrgreen: Th...

Them floppy Penman's, they ride with you everywhere! ...rollin', rollin', rollin'.... :- Good to hear from ya', Dave! Don't be a stranger. ;) Thanks, TS.

My new Penman Raiders!!! :lol: Thanks again John for such a stupendous Lid! :TOH: Sorry for the really bad arms length "facebook style" photos, no one could operate my camera correctly. #-o I will update them as soon as we get a sunny day, its been rainy and cloudy this whole week. http://...

Can I buy this type of nylon thread at a local hardware store?

Scott

fuzzjunk

Thanks for the tips guys!

I just ordered some nylon crackers, and I think I'll round out/thin the fall a bit for better flex.

Here's my Todd's after almost a year of use. When I initially conditioned it, there was a few places that turned dark brown (almost black), so I dyed the complete whip with Feibings medium brown leather dye. The knots were done in black (ala CS). With the exception of the strands stretching at the ...

fuzzjunk

Thanks Mitch!

I only tried a little bit the other day and it seemed to brush off quite easily, I probably just need to use a bit more then. I might also try putting FE in a sock and beat the jacket with it.

Anyway thanks for the tips, I hope mine comes out as good as yours did!

-Scott

fuzzjunk

Hey Mitch, how did you get the fullers earth to stay on the coat so well? I want to give mine a good dusting before Halloween but I'm afraid it will just brush of to easily.

Any tips would be much appreciated, yours looks amazing! and exactly the look (temporarily) I'm going for.

-Scott

fuzzjunk

Very Interesting, It would be great to see one of those in action!

I guess the natural conforming of a hat would be considered part if the "break-in" stage of a new hat.

Great info guys, Thanks!

-Scott

fuzzjunk

Is their a way to have a new custom hat to fit a certain head shape right out of the box? I know that it will conform over time, but should the hatter be informed before construction of the hat?

-Scott

fuzzjunk

hmmm........ but imagine her with an Adventurebilt on her noggin!

I think my monitor just broke.

Simply Stupendous!!!

, nice work John!

That's exactly what I'm looking for in a Raiders hat, great detail!

I'd say that's pretty much the best looking Fed IV I've ever seen.

Nice Job Mitch!!!

Nice axe/hat combo Dave!

I sure do miss my Gibson Les Paul, and playing shows with it too.

That hat sure does look great on stage! Is that a quilted maple top finish on the Ibanez?

Well I just recently gave the jacket a good soaking, it looks good but obviously is a bit stiff now. I have this type of leather lotion on hand will this be safe to use?

John, you might have to start offering these with your hats: http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo60/FuZzJuNk/Hat_Rain_Cover.jpg You never know, it might become your best selling hat accessory! :shock: Don't need them.

Does anyone ever order a custom hat between sizes? lets say between 22 1/8-22 1/4?

Also, would the amount that someone perspires directly affect how much shrinkage takes place in the end? or just the rate that the shrinking occurs. Maybe I'm just over thinking this.

fuzzjunk

Well my Todd's shirt came in today, length wise the shirt fits good, but width wise its big. On Todd's website its said to be 40-42" chest, and 36-38" waist, but it fits bigger than my WPG that's suppose to be 42" chest/ 40" waist. I do love everything else about the shirt, the f...

fuzzjunk

Well I just spoke to someone at Todd's (maybe it was him?), he told me that they don't do A and B sizes in MED anymore. He also agreed that the MED would be the best fit. I have an athletic build and workout regularly so some shirts tend to feel snug in the shoulders, biceps, and chest. It looks tha...

fuzzjunk

Well I've come to the conclusion that my WPG shirt does not fit me well in the shoulders. It fits great in the chest but a bit baggy in the mid section and very, very snug in the shoulders. I know need to find what size would work in Todd's shirt, as I think I am going to give their shirt a try. I a...

You can always try adding weight with solder... heavy, inexpensive and precise.

Good luck.

Good idea, thanks!

I might also try some lead tape, that's what I use to balance adjust weight on my tennis rackets.

Good to know, Thanks John.

Now is there a way to add weight to the handle of a finished bullwhip? I have on of Todd's whips, which is great for the price, but it doesn't crack as nice as the nylon bullwhips I make. I know part of it is because of the heavier weight of my nylon whips. I would like to somehow add some weight to...

John,

Is the ribbon usually replaced when a hat gets re-blocked? or do most hatters simply re-attach the old ribbon?

-Scott

fuzzjunk

I see.

I wondering how much different Todd's current run is then the one you currently own, fit-wise that is?

I am really looking for a more tapered/form fitting shirt, I just don't know if the AB or Todd's is the better choice for this type of fit.

fuzzjunk

Very Nice! I'd love to crack one of those someday.

How long does it usually take to brake in one of those?

-Scott

fuzzjunk

Thank you Mountaineer, Great comparison pics!

Now when you say M+ are you referring to Med A or Med B? I just went to his site and only found Med, wonder if he doesn't stock those sizes anymore. I'm guessing if I have a small WPG shirt then I should go with a Med in Todd's shirt.

-Scott

fuzzjunk

You could also send your current hat to Penman for a re-block and bash in any style. Over in the Fed display thread there is a great pic of Fed IV with a re-block and bash done by John. It looks incredible, and will save you some dough. Here is the link to the Fed IV thread, the pics are in the 5th ...

fuzzjunk

It seems like a pretty solid air soft gun too, I was surprised to see a crack like that from the shipping.

fuzzjunk

Here's the damage, its a good size crack.

They have already filled a claim with fedex. They said I should get refunded in 3-5days. If all goes right I will have a free gun to keep.

fuzzjunk

Great info/pics, this should help a lot of people making those tough decisions. How much shorter is the Todd's compared to WPG in overall length? I have a WPG shirt and also love it, I just never tuck in my shirts (unless I'm in full gear) and the WPG looks a bit odd untucked. I have heard that Tod...
