You knew it was coming...

...because as soon as someone starts to make a name for themselves, the imitators shamelessly come to cash in.

Or is this a new line, BendingOak?

[Ranger36]

What?!

My favorite part of the whole thing? This description:

dressier style fedora

Which is to say, if you were otherwise naked, this would be dressy I suppose.






*******disclaimer: this is not a PENMAN hat as we know them

Gotta love that Polyester!

[Ranger36]

Oh, yeah!

John, you've been ripping me off! I'm getting my Penman hats from this guy on ebay now!

They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but I'd still put a stop to this guy NOW!

Thanks for letting me know about it. I just sent e-mail asking him to change the title of his offering.

[BendingOak]

Did a little looking and found this.

Whoa! $500 for a glorified DP?

Whoa! $500 for a glorified DP?

it has been around for a while, it's nothing new. a member of COW -don't remember the name- has one of those beaver DP

I posted that link to show that a couple people posted their opinions of the hat and used Penman hats and AB as a much option.

[Chewbacca Jones]

Well, you know you've made it when you can find yourself referenced on Amazon!

[Indiana Jeff]

Unfortunately it looks like John is going to have to Google Penman Hats (and variations there in) to see what's "out there."

The $500 DP has been offered by a few places, such as Sideshow, for a while now. I think they started showing up around the time of the release of Crystal Skull.

Man, those reviews must have been written by guys from here Must be great to stumble across this and see the name of your company referenced in such a positive way.

Yes it is. I had no idea that anything like that was on amazon.


I see that they changed the add name on ebay after getting my e-mail.
