Penman LC ?

[Jonny Whip Crack]

I DID IT! I placed an order for a LC Penman. Let the wait begin. I'll post pics when it arrives.

[DR Ulloa]

Congrats! The wait isn't too long, but it is frustrating knowing that you've ordered one of the best hats available and don't have it yet.

Dave

[jnicktem]

Yes, congrats! Before you know it, you will have your Penman LC sitting on your head!

Time will go by fast, I am already a month into my wait!

[Jonny Whip Crack]

Thanks guys, I can't wait to join the club of owning a Penman. I don't mind the wait... you can't rush perfection.
Cheers

I'm almost three months in for my second Penman and it feels like I ordered yesterday. Heck, It doesn't feel like I've been waiting as long as I have for my AB. Just push it out of your mind. The worst is when John tells you, "Your hats on the block." Then the couple of days it takes him to finish the hat feels like a cople of months. You feeling like going . But its all good .

T-minus 24 days untill I place my order!

[morethanatimelord]

Man!
Just l k at the beautiful swoop on the brim of morethanatimelord's Last Crusade Penman!
GORGEOUS
(I mean... I've seen it BEFORE... but it bears repeating!)
It's easy to see why you love it, my friend.

P.S John il have some more updates for you in the next couple of days matey

My dad always told me, "You can wait patiently or impatiently, but either way, you're still going to wait." Somehow, I still tend to choose to wait impatiently more often than not.

OK, ksteryous...Hows bout them outdoor pics? Its been sunny out on the mid-east coast this weekend. You have no excuse!! (sorry, thats the teacher coming out in me! )

Ok, here you go...nothing like a teacher putting pressure on you to get a job done....

A few taken quickly before work this morning.

[WhipDude]

You are looking pretty good! One of those would make a great avatar. Not to mention a nice photo for the testimonial area of Penmans site. I don't think you could have asked for a more fitting bash to your face either.

[DR Ulloa]

Wow! I am blown away!

Iit is rare that I am this impressed by a hat. It really is one of the most beautiful hats I have ever seen. Congratulatons on a fine, fine hat. And John, .

Thats because he went out side in good light. Had some one take good photo's. these are great shots. They show of the hat very well.

[Dr. Nebraska S.]

ksteryous, I have to agree: you wear it very well. And as one academic to another, I really like this scholarly attire with the hat--they go quite well together.

best wishes,
Nebraska Schulte

[Mitch LaRue]

WOW!

Talk about "stepping up to the plate" and meeting the challenge!
Well Done, ksteryous.
Those shots are Pure Class (Can't help but thinking that's appropriate for a Teacher)

Great photos, great clothes (jacket, bowtie, everything), great lighting...
and of course:
GREAT FEDORA.


(Get ready for a RUSH on "LC" bash hats, Oak!)

Don't be so modest. Its mainly due to your general awesomeness at hatmaking.

I second that absolutely! These fedoras make a great companion to dressy clothes. And the stereotypical "scholarly" bowtie is particularly adequate.

Maybe we should open a "Indy hat as dress hat" thread...

I agree....no doubt that the LC hat is more suited to this type of dress than the Raiders. Even though the Raiders doesn't look bad with nicer clothes either, but the Raiders definitely screams out leather jacket and adventure shirt.

I think I've always associated the LC hat with the professor, bowtie look because of the scene just after Indy crawls out of the window of the college and is stopped by the 3 bad guys who take him to Donavan.

That.... looks.... AMAZING!!!

I just love how that felt looks in the sun! It makes me wish I had the money to plop down another Penman order... just this time for a LC!

I would say the reason the Raiders style seems to belong more to adventure (or casual, at least ) clothes is because we tend to associate it with the Indy adventurer look. This may be related, also, to the Raiders crease/bash being more unconventional, as opposed to those in the other movies. On the other hand, the grey version of the Raiders hat does not appear to be so stereotyped, what would support my theory that it is more of a subsconscious question.

I have been affected by this myself - at the beginning, I was reluctant to use my Raiders with other than casual clothes.

The Raiders hat, even in brown, does not look out of place with more formal clothes, I would say, even with the "turn", as this photo of myself in my Penman tries to show ( a different, more of a 3/4 angle, photo, I posted in the "Penman post'em up" thread):

Totally agree with you there. I link the LC hat to smart dress more than high adventure like the the Raiders. When i see The LC hat i always see it as Ford wore it in Venice when he first met elsa

[jkdbuck76]

ksteryous,

Nice lid. John, that's some good hat-fu right there.
When my wife un-grounds me, I'll be ordering.

I had to chuckle at that post, Oak. It's frustrating enough just trying to get a read on a particular hat from distorted cell-phone pics. It must be really rough looking at something you've created and are trying to present in a good light, so to speak..."No no no no no...Stop doing that to my hat, darn you!"

[BendingOak]

You are so right. I just hate it when I see a arm length or a bathroom shot.

Just think about it. You spent 12 hours on something then you look at some photo and say to yourself. "Does my hat look that bad????"


Ksteryous, and very nice shots. I want to use them.

[ksteryous]

Ksteryous, and very nice shots. I want to use them.

Feel free to....I couldn't very well tell the maker of the hat "No", now could I???

[Indiana Venkman]

My word these are some absolutely gorgeous hats! Great work, John!

[Mitch LaRue]

Indy Venkman,
Just a quick little (well, "little" by MY standards) note to you from me...
Like a number of folks here, I've been sort of loosely following your ongoing efforts to get a hat into your hands (and onto your head) that kinda' completes a little quest (again, I realize the "little" part has gotten larger than you ever planned on!) to own an "Indy" hat.

I'm home sick today and it's given me a little time to catch up on the posts of some of the Members here at C.O.W. and see what "exploits, trials, adventures - and MISadventures" have been keeping everyone busy...
So I'm only just now catching up with the fact that you've sent your fedora to John for him to re-work your hat to the best of his abilities.
I just wanted to take a second to say, you've done the RIGHT thing.
I don't, YOU don't - and even JOHN doesn't - know exactly how your hat is going to turn out... yet. But whatever happens, you're hat is back in the hands of an incredibly skilled Hat Maker who won't take that challenge lightly.
I'm sure that if anyone can give you back a hat that HAS be re-worked to your satisfaction, it's Mr. Penman.
I realize I'm not saying anything you hadn't already heard before - or knew for yourself - and I'm sure that me praising John's skills will come as no surprise to anyone here who's read anything by me on the subject of Penman Hats before. I'm a fan of John's work... that's no secret (in fact, sometimes I worry someone's gonna think I'm his Business Manager!)
The fact is, I just wanted to add my voice to those who are already saying to you:
"I'm really sorry you STILL haven't gotten your Indy Hat yet."
"I'm sure John will do something really nice with the hat you gave him to work on."
and
"All the Best of Luck to you with any future plans you put together in ordering a New Indy Fedora!"
Cheers,
Fox

[DanielJones]

Great looking outfit & the hat comliments you well ksteryous. John, fantastic job. Now that I have seen & handled one of your bits of handiwork I know I have to have one.

Cheers!

Dan

[Mitch LaRue]

Also:
Good choice using that shot as your avatar... it looks GREAT!

[ksteryous]

Thanks Dan and Mitch....it's all about the hat, and I'm already starting to look around for things to sell and build up my Paypal account so I can order another one of John's fine creations!!!

Regards,
Kenton
