For years I have been wearing my Fed IV for almost ten years now and the hat is just great. No complaints there.
But as for the look, it is, as you will all agree, more of a Last Crusade hat than a Raiders hat.
So when I looked at my gear, it was sort of half LC, half Raiders. My Wested jacket was a Raiders one though, so I decided to find a more Raiders looking hat to go with it.
I ended up ordering the Everyman from John Penman. Because it had the right look I wanted, at the right price that I was looking for. Not that I would not be willing to spend more, but with my government adding almost 50% for import tax I would be looking at a hefty price tag...
It took a little extra checking with USPS and the post office, but the hat is here and I can say that I am very, very happy with it.
The hat looks great, feels great and fits great. And John also gave it a great looking Raiders twist.
The color is absolutely spot on, but I am afraid that the camera on my phone is not doing very well in conveying that.
It also feels great that John Penman gave it the perfect bash for this look. I remember that after my Fed IV arrived open crowned I spent the next three years trying to get that bash just right.
Anyway, mister Penman has made me a very happy man today.
A new hat for my Raiders look. My Everyman has arrived!

Thanks guys!
Put on my Wested ROLA for that picture. I am sure Peter would have approved.
