Can someone post a photo of the logo in question?

Well, for what it is worth, I like 'The Everyman Logo'! Reason: Simple and to the point! I worked in advertising for many years and 'simple and easy to recall/remember = Good Retention and greater sales (of product and/or services)! "Everyman" speaks to men of all backgrounds, types, style preferences, etc. And the logo through it's simplicity states that 'He who buys recognizes that regardless of his stature, position in life, etc., is still but -- one of 'everymen' and mankind. Wow! I should be charging for this kind of advise.

Seriously though, it is catchy and like a good 'jingle' it goes right to 'the hook' of the product. ie: "You deserve a break today...." and so on.

Every bit as good a call on name as "The Henry" and perhaps even a bit better as it doesn't stifle itself to only 'Indy' style hats! Think about it; Bogart was 'Everyman', John Wayne was 'Everyman' and so is 'Indy' one of the 'Everymen' in our world. Yeah, one may be quite unique and special, but each is also a part of the community of the world -- thus -- 'Everyman'!

Agreed.... also the thought that an "everyman" can enjoy a quality hat without spending hundreds on hundreds of dollars for one.

Ha... that's funny, I like it. Not at all what I expected.

david_h · Post by **david_h** » Wed Aug 17, 2016 5:04 pm

I like it too.

Shame John is limiting to just one felt colour (for none Indy) at the moment, though.

Forrest For the Trees · Wed Aug 17, 2016 6:41 pm

I think there wasn't enough interest in the Moss or Whiskey color at the moment. I would imagine to get a good price on these as a wholesale order, you would need to order quite a lot. I can understand John not wanting to lay out too much dough to keep an inventory in stock that isn't moving too quickly.

I'll say it again, this hat is far nicer than any other factory-made hat out there.

He's dropping the Whiskey and Moss? That's a shame.

Today was nearly 20 degrees below the normal temperature, cool enough for my Indy 4 Penman

WConly · Post by **WConly** » Sat Aug 20, 2016 11:36 pm

We were down 15 degrees, so I was also able to wear my LC Penman today! Love the weather! Like the hat(s), more

Currently enjoying my new Penman Everyman. Definitely looks and feels better than my Akubra Fed IV Deluxe and I am looking forward to comparing it to an AB Henry grey clipper hat I also have on order. The delivery box was a bit flimsy though so it arrived a little battered although not bruised. I hadn't realised how many hats I had under the bed until I dug out the Akubra today!

Forrest For the Trees · Sun Aug 21, 2016 4:30 pm

Nice. Yeah, the Everyman hat is a big step up from the Akubra Federation, even the Deluxe.

Jeremiah · Post by **Jeremiah** » Fri Aug 26, 2016 7:05 pm

My new penmans raider in beaver. Sent open crown.

What do you guys think?

Indiana Croft · Post by **Indiana Croft** » Sat Aug 27, 2016 8:06 pm

Looks really nice, I have plans on another Penman in my future, thinking a TOD or a LC, need to branch out in other Indy hats. But I want a Penman beaver.

Congrats on the lid sir.

Thanks Croft.

WConly · Post by **WConly** » Sat Aug 27, 2016 9:43 pm

Jeremiah: What can I say, other then John hits the mark again! Beautiful hat! You are looking quite 'Indy' with this treasure

Jeremiah · Post by **Jeremiah** » Sun Aug 28, 2016 8:18 am

Thanks. I am still tweaking it with dry bashing but it's coming along. I was told by John that since I have a small head he used a 4oz beaver hat body rather than the standard 5oz he uses. This is how small hat bodies in beaver come that he uses.
This is very floppy akin to the ABL rabbit hat body as a result. But I think the ABL might be slightly more floppy. It's not my favorite hat body style (floppy) but it's still a very nice hat. I noticed with my ABL that the FL heat and humidity just made the brim sag a lot over time.
I am hoping this won't happen with the beaver fur hat body. I think with the fur being more dense than the rabbit it won't.

Anyway, it looks good for now so that's what matters. It's a fine custom made hat and I see no reason to look anywhere else if I ever should need a new one.

One thing I noticed is that it does feel different from my AB raiders in beaver. Seems less dense than the AB. I wonder if it's just the way it's pounced? Both bodies are the same 4oz weight. I honestly could not tell the difference in feel from this and my ABL in rabbit. I know this is Beaver because it's a penmans raiders but with the AB I can definitely tell the difference between it and the ABL. Might be that Steve used a slight amount of more stiffner. Though I would not say the AB is stiff. Just more malleable like clay.
Anyway. That's my review. Nice hat.

Another view of my Everyman Hat, modeled by my 4 month old little guy.

Nice.

Jeremiah · Post by **Jeremiah** » Sun Sep 25, 2016 9:46 pm

My current bash of my penman raiders in beaver.
Yeah that ribbon is too far forward to be SA but the rest of the bash looks good to my eye. My head is a slight round oval so I needed to exaggerate the turn a bit.

Outside.

You're asking the wrong people . . .

Crazyc,

Ridgerunner is correct.

The Legacy will be worth it. And you will be happy with the one you have! Lol!

Because most people here have multiple hats, AND are happy with the ones they have. To us, it would be worth having another hat and also being happy with having one already.

This is a slippery slope, and once you fall down, there's only Sarah's Hat Boxes below to break your fall.

O ok sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm just starting my Indy hat collection but you are right once you get started its addictive. I'm very happy with the everyman raiders and crusader I have their great hats can't wait to get a 100% beaver from John. He does a awesome job and great costumer service. Thanks for all the info
