Congratulation John...

Although I'd seen the note before, I don't think I'd said well done! So, well done Sir! Bloody good work, thanks for the hat, and I really can't wait to order from you again!

Entirely well deserved...John Penman is THE man for hats as far as I'm concerned..And has built that reputation with his own work and his own attitude to customers, and the business he's in..Highly deserving of respect in my opinion.

Well done mate...Eventually I WILL work out how to send Cuban cigars over to you to say thanks properly...Until then, I'll say it here..

John who

? Oh yeah, 'that John Pennman! Seriously, I can't think of anyone better for this honor. Though I have never actually seen, felt or touched one of the great 'Pennman' line-up of hats, the pictures, posts, etc. prove the point to me!

John: Your work amazes me and I wait (calmly, I hope) for the day when I can humbly enter your line of customers. Now, let me see

, I want a Crystal Skull, the Train Hat and what else

...oh...yeah -- Casablanca $\:D/$ ! The latter will have to be the first, even though I want them all!

Congrats...belated, as they are. You 'done' good

! W>

ps: Then there are the LC hats and the Hughes model and...........

!
