Re: The Penman post 'em up Pages....The Adventure Continues...
I figured I would join in on the fun and post a couple of pics of my new Penman. I'm amazed at how soft the felt is. I'm working on getting the bash the set in. I'm seriously considering sending my Camptown Metro to John for a reblock and a new ribbon.

Re: The Penman post 'em up Pages....The Adventure Continues...
I am getting married in ten days. So, my fiance and I had an engagement photo session with our photographer and naturally, I took my Penman wedding hat. We are both very much into film noir and 30's fashion so we got dressed up in like fashion for the shoot. We took over 400 pictures but these are just a handful. I might add that only two of these are "finished." The other two are raw. Anyway, onto the pictures.

Re: The Penman post 'em up Pages....The Adventure Continues...
THANKS for letting me know, Oak!
When John notified me he was almost ready to begin working on my Distressed Rabbit, I sent him my Grey Seaplane hat because I wanted him to switch the liners so that I'd get that sweet looking new "black" Penman Hats liner in my Grey and have the "white" liner in my Brown Rabbit...
Just a personal taste thing (with which John was kind enough to accommodate me)...
I also asked him to throw my Grey on that nifty block of his for a quick "spruce up"...
(But for the record, j... my NEXT Penman will be one of John's gorgeous Brown Beaver fedoras Penman Hats has become so well-known for!)
Cheers,
Mitch

Re: The Penman post 'em up Pages....The Adventure Continues...
Ah, gotchya. I have to admit, the black liner in the grey seaplane really looks wonderful (I know, I have one!).
And I should be coming up on my next Penman,... the Last Crusade!

John's quite right and I probably should have chosen my phrasing to be more to that effect:BendingOak wrote:Your grey hat didn't need a re-block my friend but I re-blocked it on my new Raiders block anyway for you.
My Penman Grey Seaplane didn't actually need a re-blocking, but because I knew the hat would be in the same room with that awesome Raiders block of John's, I asked him if he'd give my hat a little "spa treatment" while it was there... and John was kind enough to indulge my request.
Indebted to you as always, Oak.

Re: The Penman post 'em up Pages....The Adventure Continues...
What a beautiful hat, Daren... Congratulations!
Those are great photos and the hat looks wonderful on you.
You know, before I startedpaying close attention to the work that Oak was doing, the LC hat was just never one of my priorities. For me, it was just "Nice hat, but I'm in no hurry..."
But with John's LC, now I can't help but want to put this style hat on my horizon.
EXCELLENT work as always, Mr. Penman.

Re: The Penman post 'em up Pages....The Adventure Continues...
As far as safe distance goes, one way to get right up close is go ahead and wrap the photographer around the waist. But otherwise, either zoom in and throw the crack straight at them, or don't zoom in and throw the cracks past the right or left shoulder. That's what we did. I think the crack in the photo was thrown straight past his right shoulder.
Glad you guys are the liking the pics! I'm having a great time taking 'em. And props to my roommate, Aaron Dahlstedt, who is my photographer. Lucky for me, he's taking a serious interest in the mechanics of the shots, and to help, he has an awesome hi-speed camera. He can do a burst and take about 7 shots a second, which is great for the whip shots!
But back to John Penman! Does he do great work, or what?!?
I'm waiting on him to make me a Raiders Seaplane Gray, and soon I'm gonna have him build me a Raiders Rabbit!
Go, John!

I don't think DHW's name is John... I'm not sure but I think that is causing the confusion.
Re: The Penman post 'em up Pages....The Adventure Continues...
Hi guys. How are you?
Does anyone have any beaver Penman hat Crystal Skull (brown)?
I've seen pictures at John´s facebook and are a bit dark to get an idea.
I searched at the forum and don´t see any of this model. Two-four pics only, but distant, low size and resolution.
How about this hat? very good quality, accuracy of bash and finishes, right?
Thanks!!

I'll see if I can dig up some pics for you but Steve and I use the same exact felt. They are SA in color.
Re: The Penman post 'em up Pages....The Adventure Continues...
I know a pic of my Beaver CS is on Oak's facebook page. There may be some on this thread. Ill see if I can find any and post them.

DHW, as the proud owner of a Raiders Seaplane Gray (in Beaver) allow me just a moment to chime in here and say that this hat is a MUST have!DarenHenryW wrote:I'm waiting on him to make me a Raiders Seaplane Gray...
Smooth feel... gorgeous "sheen" to it... Excellent workmanship...
It's nothing but pure quality.
And let me state the obvious: It's gonna look GREAT on you, my friend.
Cheers,

Awww shucks!
Thought I was #1000 there for a minute...
Ah well...
(Truth is... I hadn't noticed the count until you said that, Tex.)
Congrats John, for having such a popular thread!
(And a BIG thanks to Texan Scott for starting this thread in the FIRST place!)
I'll just return to my regular "every other day or so" contributions, now...
Oh, and also:
Matt, you wrote "Still my favorite hat"... I just want you to know that when I read that I thought "Well, why the heck wouldn't it be?"
She's a beaut, mcmanm... enjoy!

Granite.
Hey, John. Is my Raiders Seaplane gray going to be granite like Matt's? Or do you have other gray options?
The Granite looks good to me, but I was just wondering.
Daren
Oh yeah, and is the brown on the Raiders the same as the brown on the CS hat? In that first photo, it looks a tad lighter.
