Thats why I asked. It's a large collection and I have a feeling it's only part of what we are seeing.

Both EXCELLENT lids that suit you quite well, SpeedRcrX...
Nice shots!

Penman hats are like potato chips...............you can't have just one. 2 and counting for me.

You guys stop monkeying around here and Post 'em UP!

Don't look know but he's back.

Looks like those monkeys are long ovals too. They need hats!

Cheers!

Really looks great. And totally works for you!

Hi to all the fine members of this distinguish forum,

If some of you remember, a while ago, I posted a few pictures of the first Boggie Pecan color Fedora Hat that John made for me. so, for those
who are interested to see it in action, here goes: I think it's fair to say that the Hat itself cannot be critisezed as it is so dawm cool, but, as for my
mug, go ahed, that is the only fabric defect here! ))









A few days ago, I received my second one in Granite color, a Masterpiece! I have a hunch that those are not the only ones that I will order in the
future. hope you appreciate. enjoy!


Frenchie

I know John said something awhile back on changing his process when it came to reblocks. Anyone know the turnaround time these days?

Hey Frenchie! Nice pecan colored Penman, you've got there! I really like a 'taupe' shade fedora. Wear it in good health!

Coool!!! That looks even better when displayed on a noodle!! Really suits you as well Frenchie!!

Ian

Pecan is my FAVORITE non Indy color...

Beautiful fedora...
Gorgeous color...
and you know what, Frenchie? That mug ain't too bad either, pal ... in the very least, I think it suits the lid just fine.

Cheers,
Mitch

Hi Gentlemen,

It's very kind of you all to receive these positive comments and compliments, greatly appreciated.

But, frankly, the compliments belongs to John to have crafted such a great lid! I too agree that the Pecan color is ONE of the
best in the bunch..well, at least, one of my favorite.

Hahaha, Mitch, thanks for the compliment about my mug, I didn't see this one coming! it's always good to have
comments from other fedora wearers to know if a hat fits you well... thanks a lot!!


Frenchie

Cheers, bud.

Frankly, I think your features make you look like you're from straight out of a Film Noir flick (and in my opinion, that's DEFINITELY a compliment) - the fine hat just helps out all the more with that appearance.
You look like the kinda' guy it'd be a pleasure to sit down and drink a coupla cups 'a joe with (not to mention getting that envelope from you with those "documents")

Geez, Mitch, my Friend, that is quite a compliment! man, I've had a few compliments
before but this one takes the cake. to me, from what I see of your tiny picture, you look
like the rugged tough adventurer (that's a compliment too and it's not to pay back, I sincerely
think it...).

As for me, it's funny, because when I wear a Raiders, I give a totally different look and feel to people.
interesting how a few cuts and creases here and there on a hat can change your look, eh?

Well, yeah, I think t'would be great enjoying a few cup O joe because you seems a very friendly
and interesting guy! Hahaha, but, sorry, i'm not in one of those Noir movie, so, no envelope document....
euh, would a Croissant, a fresh baked Baguette or a bottle or Merlot would do instead?!

Thanks to you Mitch, my head swelled a bit now...


Frenchie

Hahaha, thanks for the unlimited stockpile photos of Mitch info, Tundrarider. that will be something
for me to go look at!

Frenchie, that is a great looking fedora--it suits you, and you wear it well! Any chances of seeing the granite fedora you ordered? I've ordered a CS train traveler fedora in granite from John that should be arriving sometime soon (hopefully), and so your photos will help tide me over.

Best wishes,
Nebraska Schulte

Big, glossy ones, in fact.... (Just ribbing Mitch.... I'm nearly as bad (or good) as Mitch about posting pics. Mitch you are still my hero! )

Awww, YOU guys! (Shakes "Ford Finger of Doom" at his C.O.W. Buddies)

For the record, while I might technically have more photos posted in various Threads thoughout this website, Tundrarider is the better LOOKING (and more Respectable) of us two!

Frenchie, I'm gonna hold you to that "bottle of Merlot" deal someday, okay?

All the Best, fellas!

Touche, Michael!


Y'know what it was that I must've been thinking?
That despite how we're all different and individual guys with various qualities that we all bring to the table, we are ALL still united in how much BETTER we look while wearing our fine, PENMAN Hats!


- John, how's THAT for trying to get us back On Topic (ironically, by a guy poking around in his little avatar square with no lid covering his RepDetect haircut?)


(I promise I'll change it back SOON)

IT'S getting sssooooo sssaaappppyy up in here!

It's only like you guys to say that the other one is better. As time has passed, you are both an asset to this forum. Here's to a prosperous year to you and your family. Oh, and if you tell anyone I said that, I'm personally gonna go there and kick you in the....@#$%&*!! I mean, its not like it would be difficult to find you...fedora, jacket and all...

Hi Nebraska, Thanks for your compliments my friends, appreciated!
Yeah, sure I can post picts of my Granite Boggie for ya. no problems!


... And, hehehe, ok, Mitch, a bottle of Merlot it is!

Frenchie, I LOVE your hat! It looks GREAT on you, and you really capture the Bogie look!

Well done!

DHW

PS

Here's a shot of my Penman Raiders in Beaver in action!



DHW

Hi DarenHenryW

Geez, I'ts more than a Penman that you are wearing on this picture my friend,
it's a masterpiece!! Makes you look awesome, honestly! John as spoiled you!

Gongrats!

Say. I am curious. that picture with the cutes kids there, were you teaching them on some
of the ways and tricks to deal the prices when it comes to order a hat from John?! now, that's
education!

Congrats again for a most elegant and stylish Raiders. lucky man!

Just got a call from John Penman--my CS Train Traveler should be arriving next week! Will keep you posted...

Best wishes,
NS

Nebraska,
can't wait to see it. I have a gray clipper that won't be done 'til July. Darren, yours looks great b.t.w.

jlhampton

Your gonna love it Mr. Nebraska Schulte, first thing, well not the first thing, first thing is you'll put it on and the grin will go from ear to ear .

Then you'll start to think, hmmm what goes with this, should I start puting together a CS train gear, like I did. What color blue brings out the grey (not brown), man your gonna have a blast.

Heres mine once again and yes this is the pic John uses on his site.

And casual like....


Croft

Well, Croft, your photos were actually a big influence for me ordering one. You wear yours quite well!

Best wishes,
NS

That IS a sharp lid, IC! We like it when a felt plan really comes together, and it happens quite often with the BendingOakster at the helm.

Looking forward to seeing your new, CS travel hat, NS!

Thanks NS, and I too can't wait to see you wearing your new lid. Also a big ah geee on the

Well, Croft, your photos were actually a big influence for me ordering one. You wear yours quite well!

Mr. Bending Oak is craftmaster at his trade, I'm so torn on my next one (it's just a matter of when) I'd love to get a darker color like Mr. Depp in Public Enemies, or maybe a Pecan colored. Time will tell.

Croft

Pecan's awesome...just sayin...

I love pecan, too!



Maybe that's why my Penman is that color. It reminds me of pie.

Hey, Nebraska, I'll be out there in a matter of weeks, so I'd love to see your hat in person once you get it!

I now have the public enemy hat color ( black cherry) just an FYI.

Why'd I know you'd say that.
