This one's a stunner....I can't believe how nice the thing is...And I KNOW how nice John makes them...Brilliant stuff...I've talked too much already, so I'll shut up and get on with the photos...
John, this one's brilliant Sir. Thank you.
Forgive the grin, and the lack of decent clothing..But you know...Gotta try it on!
And lastly...
I'm going back to staring at her again....Later all!
That's Raiders perfection, fifthchamber!!! I still like to keep at least one of my Penmans on a stand underneath my TV so I can stare at it during commercial breaks. I never tire of appreciating the beauty that is a Penman Raider And you wear that lid well!!

Got a quick question....Does John's Cairo Indy hat have the turn? From the pics above it looked like it did. Just curious.....I love the hat. I'd like to own a second Indy hat someday and I was just browsing all the different brands out there now.

Thanks, John. It's the finest hat I've ever owned.
I'm not sure if I have shaped properly yet. How in the world the post office can crush a box that sturdy, I'll ever understand.
I will say one thing. Lean the front pinch more to the left(picture-wise).
I'm sorry. I was not complaining about the pinch(and BTW, it was just my opinion) I was just saying that in my opinion it just needed to lean over teensy weensy bit. Sorry.

Yes I agree but that hat was shipped before me adding my penman hat boxes so when ky received his hat it was crushed. He popped the crease back and then popped it on his head and never wanted to change it. He likes it that way and I think he wears it well. Made it his own.

I apologize as well, I did not mean to come across as harsh. I just read over my post again, and I can see how it can definitely comes across as harsh. That was not my intent; in fact, I was just curious about your post.
no need to say you are sorry. I didnt think you came on harsh at all. I was trying to explain why his hat is a tad off. I'm sure the crease is much different from what you see in these two photo's. Creases change from when I crease them in my shop. Thats why when I make a Raiders hat for myself I don't shoot for one scene Ie: raven bar, idol grab or SOC. It's going to change once I start wearing and handling the hat. For customers I will crease for what ever scene they want but in the long run if you wear it, it will change.

Agreed. My Raiders definitely has changed since the first day I received it. (In a good way!)
No wonder you haven't been posting pictures for a while. Looking good.

Thanks for the info.
