Well, the shape looks great! You'll probably knock the door down once you see a sunny day just trying to get outside with the hat and camera.

Cheers!

Hallo friends,
I waited by this summer to do a worth shot of my Last Crusade Penman, that I do love, and I'm wearing a lot..
So here they are, after a day of happy cracking:





I tryed to explain with these pics who this hat is lovely, and really made for me

Thank you again John.

Some other shot is in the Scrapbook section

Wonderful photos of a BEAUTIFUL hat, steerpike!
(and the rest of the Gear looks great, too!)

A condition which can be easily cured with one of Wade's No-Slip Super Whip Holders!!!

Yeah, I know, I know.. and this is what happens when you want a screen accurate holder.. no matter the consequences..

That is the best looking LC hat I've ever seen. Looks beautiful. Congrats, dude.

Dave

Well, I actually chose my Penman Raiders for New Year's Day... no better hat to begin a new decade of "adventuring"...



It rained on it, too!

Great outfit Barcelona Jones....
hat and suit...

teko

Very good match between hat and suit! It's very Indy

Great combination with the suit and hat Barcelona Jones! And the hat always seems to look a little better with a bit of weather on it. We know they can take it.

Cheers!

Dan

Great looking hat and suit Barcelona Jones!

Hi Fedora lovers,

Say, all you fellas have awesome lookin' Fedoras and you all look great wearing them! ... well, they are Penman's,
how else could it be?

As for me, I own a few Penman's and I love them all. and, here's my new addition, a very special one that John just finished this
week. it's a one of a kind Penman and I am very proud of it. I think it's awesome... now, I would like to send you picture of me wearing it,
(not that nobody needs to see my mug, really, hehe...) but John sent it just this AM. anyways, here's 2 pictures of it. as you will see, it's Not a
Raiders or another of John's hat catalogue, it's a Casablanca Boggy Beaver felt Pecan color.

I have another one ordered to be made and it's gonna be a Granite color. so, as soon as I receive it, I will send a picture of
this beauty sitting on my dome! Now, I have to say what has probably been said more than often: not only the man produces fantastic high
quality hats, but also, what a guy he is! I'm very glad he one day decided to make hats!

John, Merci a lot, Man!

Frenchie

Wow! I've always loved Bogie's hat in Casablanca. It is my favorite of his film hats. Second is his hat in the Maltese Falcon. Excellent work John! And congratualtions on the new hat Frenchie. Wear it in good health.

Dave

Hi DR Ulloa,

Thanks for your comments. and, you are right, the other hat in the Maltese Falcon is a great one and also my second
fave of Boggy's hats films. say, you are a man of tastes and a connaisseur, DR Ulloa! oh yes, it is another of John's Fedora that
I will proudly wear for sure!

Wonder if John will consider the Maltese Falcon model in the future? who knows? but it would be another great addition for sure...


Frenchie

Fantastic looking hat Frenchie! Can't wait to see it in action. Wear that baby in good health, and in good or bad weather. We know they can take it.

Cheers!

Dan

Hey DanielJones,

Happy to meet another friend on this great forum. and as for DR Ulloa, thanks for your comments, appreciated!

Oh yeah, it's indeed a fantastic hat. all the credits to the artist, and, hehehe... Man, how elegant this hat would look
wearing a nice suit! and, it's true, bad or good weather, it can take it! specially here, on the West coast, we need them
like that!

How about you, gentlemen, you own many Penman's? many different colors and styles to fit occasions and needs?!


Just curious!


Frenchie

Yes, I just love Penman hats, and I find perfect my CS and Raiders travel for a formal suit, as I wear everyday/everynight my Last Crusade hat!

Hi steerpike,

Yep, many of the Penman's Fedora are great for formal and adventures at the same time, for sure. CS and Last crusade are great
hats for everyday hat as well! the Last crusade is one of them Penman's that I am thinking of adding to my hat closet next but
I am thinking in another color than brown.

Frenchie

Try green moss

That's a nice suggestion, steerpike. Thanks!

Thus far I only have the one Penman, but that isn't going to be the last. Sort of like Lays potato chips, you can't have just one. Something John puts in the felt makes his hats rather addictive.

Cheers!

Dan

You mean he puts potatoes in his hats?

Yeah, I have a few Penman hats. I have one Raiders hat from '08, a black one John made for my wedding in '09, a charcoal grey with vintage iron ribbon also from '09, and a steel grey one that was a gift that has some really stunning bow work that I have ever seen. I want a pecan one next. Hopefully I'll be able to get one this year. I've been spending most of my extra cash on guitars and amps lately so I just have make a conscious decision to set aside funds for a hat. I haven't fine away John, just busy with not too much cash to throw your way. I'll be back soon. I know you miss my shenanigans.

Dave

I have to get. Better camera. I hate those shots.

Haha, DanielJones, binkmeisterRick's question is a good one following your theory!

There is something addictive all right! in my case, it's probably that it makes me look better without a facelift! and
it's a lot cheaper!! so, yeah, I am sure that it is not going to be your last one, I believe that! like me, i cannot stop
ordering them. (well, as long as I have funds..) but, it's also because I have a plan in mind. I am buying as much as I can
NOW, so, IF one day I am poor, well, I will have all the Penman's I need until my old age without worrying!

So, if John was wondering why this crazy French Canuck was suddenly ordering so many Fedora's lately, now he
knows!

Wow, say, DR Ulloa, you own a few already, that's pretty cool! I understand that you want a Pecan next! isn't that
color awesome? it's so suave and elegant. ah, man...

John, you hate your shots?! maybe I should have wait to take my own shots after I have received my Boggy, then!

Dan

Bendable Oakster, Mitch, DR U and Ian...I trust you guys will hold the fort down for awhile?

...as usual, I expect PLENTY of monkey business!

I'm inclined to answer "Sir I'll do my Best SIR!" without question... but I'm worried I've missed something along the way...

Tex, are you steppin' away for a spell or something?

A plethora of gratuitous Penman hat shots on standby sir!!

Ian

Forgive my laziness...what is John's wait time nowadays? I thought I heard 5 months at one time...

I reckon you'll want your LC back, even though you'll have a Raiders as well......I recently sold my Raiders lid to a local guy, but then when I saw him wearing it I coveted the precious hat and asked him to sell it me back.....Which he did......Which was nice.....

Ian

Prolly so! I just can't afford but one Indy at a time!
I hope the Raiders I have on order now will be my end all be all Indy lid...but we know how that works.
Travis

It's mine. Don't get me wrong, I love my Indy AB, but my Penman Raiders hat IS MY INDY HAT. She is good ol' reliable. Never wanted another Indy lid after her. Lids in general...thats a different story. I'm itching for a black cherry Penman...uh oh. I've said too much. John knows I want another hat now. Quick, act casual.

You're not on your own there Dave.....Just what to have though.. ..I keep thinking The Penman in moss, but then I keep seeing that custom you had made in Steel Gray......just dunno.....

Maybe I should just let John pick one......
