Ok! Ok! The wife was at work & I was all by my little lonesome. Best I could do this morning with my orangutan arms. But I warn you, she can't take a decent picture. It'll take about a dozen shots, some cussing & arguing but we should be able to get you something. I hope.

Cheers!

Beautiful hat Dan, and super job yet again John!

Dan, does your camera have a timer? Set it for 5-10 sec or so, and strike a pose!

what do you think about the brim? it could be more bended or something else different?

BendingOak · Post by **BendingOak** » Thu Sep 02, 2010 9:41 am

Hit the brim with steam. Just the sides and roll it up. Let it sit for some time. It should hold, if not repeat.

Looks great as is Steerpike. I'd go for more brim curl, but I'm really into the Venice Pier look.

Looks great Steerpike! Yeah, a little brim curl & you should have that Venice look nailed down.

Cheers!

Thanks for your kind words here folks, most appreciated. I'm loving this hat the more I wear it and handle it. I think we have a bit of a wedding shower party to go to this weekend so I hope that my wife can get some shots of me farther away than my arms.

As for a timer, I think it has one but I have no idea where we have the tripod that will fit the camera is packed away at.

I may have to experiment with some sort of balancing act and see what I can get.

John, thanks again for a wonderful hat. I can't wait to be working again so I can order another. They are an addiction.

Cheers!

Dan

Thanks buddy. It was my pleader to make it for you.

It must be the stuff I spray it with.

I have a new Raiders hat on the way that I'm absolutely....chuffed about!

...er, at least I think I am! Let's have a look, shall we?:

Oh jeezawomba... That's a fantastic looking hat! You're making me all jealous over here. Tell me, when will it be my turn to order a Penman?

Can you show us some pictures of that hat on your head?

Nice hat my friend, wear it well.

Thanks, you guys!

This was the special that John advertised in the bazaar, and it just happened to be the right size. Hopefully it will be here this weekend....I'm warming up the first baseman's mitt and standing by the mail box as we speak! Throw me that heater, John!

I just got my Penman a couple days ago too! I'll be posting some pictures also!

I am SURE that it is just the pic, but doesn't that felt look a little mottled on the right side?

Fantastic looking lid American Gaelic. I'd also be chuffed to have that in my sights!!

Tell me good Sir, be that of the castor or oryctoglagus persuasion?

Here is my rabbit Raiders hat. It's just stellar. The felt, stitching, ribbon, liner, sweatband, and everything about it is great!

John is a really nice guy to talk with. He's quick to answer e-mails and has great customer service. Thanks John for this wonderful hat!

Now the pictures:

I thought you'd like this one John

Thanks again!

Noah, what a great hat, and what great photos!!!

Ian · Post by **Ian** » Mon Sep 13, 2010 2:11 am

I'll echo that; Great hat!!!

How'd you get it to levitate like that?

Ian

Noah · Post by **Noah** » Mon Sep 13, 2010 3:19 am

Thanks steerpike! John's craftmanship is amazing.

Ian, strong am I with the force. You must feel the force around you. A Jedi's strength flows from the force... I used a hat stand.

BendingOak · Post by **BendingOak** » Mon Sep 13, 2010 9:26 am

Thank you for the kind words.

Love the pennyfarthing.

John, the Penny Farthing? Is that a reference to the prisoner? You ever been to Portmeirion? Very cool place!!

Noah, that is a beautiful look'n raiders fedora, congratulations!! I also agree that John's craftsmanship, customer service and ensuring that his customers are completely satisfied his top priority are second to none. John makes, in my own opinion, one of the most SA and greatest looking Raiders fedora; he is a master at this style. Astounding work John and congratulations, once again, Noah on receiving that fantastic hat and making a fine choice.

P.S. Let's see some shots of it on your head.

The penny farthing bike is my logo. I'm also a big fan of the original prisoner show.

No problem John! I thought you'd like the penny farthing.

And thanks again!

bdgsi11, it sure is a beautiful hat! John's the man! His work is amazing.

I'll try to get some pics of it on my head.

Oh cool!! I loved that show..Saw loads of re-runs of it whilst I was in school holidays. You like a lot of British telly? I really like Jeeves and Wooster, partly because of the vintage outfits they wear. Love Blackadder as well.

You know, I've never watched any serious British programming. All I've ever seen is the Mr. Bean stuff and the Monty Python stuff. I can't get enough of that. No humor like British humor. Oh, and your version of The Office, the one with Gervais, is great stuff. Not that the American one isn't. I love that too. But we are getting off topic. Penman Penman Penman Penman...

DanielJones · Post by **DanielJones** » Tue Sep 14, 2010 12:58 pm

Here is the latest. John, as you can note it was not taken at arms length. My wife actually nailed a great lighting shot just before we went to a friends engagement party.

This hat just keeps getting better & better every day.

Thank you John!

Cheers!

I thought you were holding the TV remote in your hand in that shot.

So you have a disco ball?

Ian, that is just the light coming in through the cut glass in the front door.

Can be a pain sometimes, other times it makes for a creative shot.
