My new Penman has arrived

Post by Greatdane »

My new Penman Raiders hat arrived just a few days ago. I am completely in agreement with the other reviews here, this is one nice piece of headgear, in other words: it rocks!

I've been wearing it ever since I got it and I'm surprised just how comfortable and sturdy it is. It's almost like it becomes another part of your body, as it feels weird when you're not wearing it.

I want to take some time to thank John for his work. I must admit I was pretty impatient as I wanted to bring the hat with me on holiday. So thank you John for this marvelous hat. I love it.

Now, I know that ;0 so without any further ado, here's the pictures:

Compliment for your hat! Suits great on you. I completely agree with your statements. I was surprised on how always good is a Penman with every different kind of clothings. Wear it proudly!

Congrats. Wear it in good health. Don't worry about beating it up. You'll want to baby it, but I find that if you treat it the way you might an old pair of boots, it looks best in the end.

Yet another stellar effort by John. I'm really considering a rabbit hat as my next purchase as I love how it lends itself to the Raiders look (which, yes I know, it should, obviously :P ).

By the way, I mentioned that I wanted to take the hat with me on holiday. I'm going to Australia, the farthest I've ever been from home. A real life adventure so to speak.
I'm going to experience a lot of things down there so I wanted an Indy hat with me. I'm really excited to see how my Penman will endure this, as it is the perfect opportunity to wear it in.

And I'll be sure to take LOTS of pictures.

Looking forward to seeing pics in natural light! Looks great on you!
I'm on John's waiting list for a Rabbit fur raiders.
I'm wondering if anyone has side-by-side comparison photos of John's raiders next to an AB Henry? :-k
