Everyone ~

Just a quick touch-base. David PM'ed me and we are going to get a call
together, he may have some ideas on my brim situation. I'll bring everyone
up to speed when I get a chance.

Hey, thanks one and all for the great words of encouragement. :TOH: I've definitely been rethinking my initial rather critical post - and, wearing the hat. One thing I've also noticed is how much different things look in outdoor light. I was out in our rare-in-Seattle-area sun yesterday wearing it w...

Jlee & David ~ Thanks for the positives .... I'm more than famous around my household for my occasional self-criticism, and after I reread my tome, I feel I'm more than a touch guilty here as well. That said, I've been spending my day wearing the Garrison on and off re-reviewing myself in the mi...

Well, my Garrison arrived (yesterday). Needless to say, I was stoked. First off - first impressions. Exactly as I expected ... beautiful. This is my first quality felt hat, and David's handiwork lived up to my expectations. Everything everyone before me has said is true. When I took it out of the bo...

Oh man .... that is SWEET. What Oildale said ....

Zuiun - First impressions ASAP please (pics too ...) Need to keep feeding the
building anticipation.

Still in transit .... scheduled for Tues 7/3.
Like Bugs Bunny once said, "It's the suspense that get me..."

Same here Zuiun ~ - just got the notification today that the Garrison is on the way!
Now, the daily checking of the UPS tracking status has begun ...

Mountaineer, looks great ! With every pic I see and review I
read, I'm knowing that I made a great choice.

LLS told me that this week it should be wrapping up, so my
'anticipation level' is really on the boil at this point

LLS ~ I'm with nicetrylaoche, no worries at all. Life happens, and as someone who's lived off
and on for 1/2 my life in Alabama, I can sure sympathize with the weather damage on your home.
Good to hear it's not major. Thanks for the update!

Looking good Anubis!

I'm late too, but Congrats and Kudos! Not a Penman owner (YET ) but I'm sure eyeballing the Casablanca ... you nailed
my OTHER favorite film on the head with that one. It's on my list ...

I'm with Oil on both counts - looks great !

Thanks one and all! :TOH: I'll answer to either - Among my varied hobbies are old (and new ...) Vespa scooters, so in a very rare flash of creative brilliance, I cooked up my handle. Working on some sort of avatar now ... suggestions gratefully accepted. Perhaps something based on my other big hobby...

Hello everyone, new poster here on COW, and after following this thread and all the wonderful toppers I see here I placed my order with David on 4/29. David gave me a 6 week quote, so the time is drawing nearer - and I'm getting serious buck fever.. :shock: I know after keeping up with the thread th...
