Pulled the Trigger on a Penman!

Post by AZ Pete »

Well...I finally did it...

After a year with my Fed IV I decided to go ahead and order up a Penman LC (beaver). Love the Fed IV but the wire reed in the sweatband has started to kink and become a bit uncomfortable. I know, I know...Pretty flimsy justification, but needed something to give me the kick to do it!

Now the long...long...long...wait. At least I have this forum and all the Penman pics to get me by until October.

After I get the Penman I will probably sent the Fed IV to John to have him put in a new sweatband and liner.

Love this forum! Makes it so much easier to make educated decisions. After a good conversation with John on Memorial Day, I know I will be getting one of the best hats out there. :TOH:

You, without a doubt, will be more than satisfied. I have a Penman LC and ToD and love them both. Truly top of the line.

Sorry about that guys. Little Oak didn't log out and I assumed he did. So that above post is from me not him. I can see that there might be a mistake happening ounce in a while since little oak is using my computer.

I so very much want for little oak to try making a hat with me. Maybe it can be a joint effect.

Sorry everyone, didn't mean to derail the thread.

Thanks all!

Yes, the wait will be agonizing. However, just knowing that I will be getting such a great hat will make it all worth while.

It's funny but one of the most difficult part of the decision was picking a particular style. Went back and forth...Raiders with turn, Raiders without turn, LC, ToD, CS and back through it all again. Finally decided on the LC because I thought it would look the best on me.

Regardless, IT'S A PENMAN!!!

Can't wait!

For just a brief moment, an odd image of a man holding the barrel of a pistol up to, and firing at a Penman hat came to mind, no actual bullet holes I hope. :D *shot*

I quite like the LC style myself and John's are consistently my favorite examples of that hat. You won't be disappointed in John's work, trust me!

Speaking of LC styles, just to put in a plug here, (if it's still available) Tex has an LC Penman for sale in the classified section, if you're the right head size.

Hummm. I need to start figuring commissions on these sales..... :-k

GLAD to hear it, Tex. Sometimes folks just forget to look IN the classified section. :TOH:

I'm constantly amused (and connecting) folks who post wanting to purchase an item in the Marrakesh Supply Co section, only to find that exact item for sale sitting there in the 'for sale' area. When I point the item out to the individual, it's like 'WOW! I never THOUGHT of looking THERE!' #-o

Anyway, back to the trigger being pulled on the new Penman......
