They look great in costume and they look great together period. I'm so very glad you like all your hats Daren. It's always a joy to make you a hat.

They are also a great couple. I was lucky enough to have them over at my hat shop and house and they are some of the nicest people.

It's pecan color with a brown ribbon. Forgive the photo's but I'm using my iphne again for this one. It's 5 3/4 inch crown with a dim. cut of 2 7/8 X 25/8.
I should be finishing and sending out the 3 hats that I'm running late on and then I'll be back on time. I will be working on November orders and touching December order as well.
I should be able to have all November orders sent out by the end of the month. That will keep me on track.
I love this fed...I think I'll get my Rabbit Raiders in either this color or your normal brown.

John truly IS an Artist... and the amazing variety -and quality- of work that this gentleman makes available to hat lovers ("Indy fans" and otherwise) around the world is simply without compare in my opinion.
I placed my latest order with John several months ago (as hard as it is for me to believe, it's my first actual
Brown Raiders fedora in
BEAVER!) ...and it'll still be a little while before I have it in my grubby hands... but as with everything John makes and sells, it'd be worth the wait even if I had to wait 5 times as long!
I'll be posting pictures right HERE on this great Thread once I
do get it, mind you... but that'll still be a while AFTER this Thread hits it's next monumental milestone...
An amazing and well-deserved
3000 posts of information, help, photos, praise and thanks.
So, if someone would be so kind?
(and Congratulations in advance, John)

Yep... that's what I was talkin' about when I said
"So, if someone would be so kind?" ... that was kinda' my way of saying
"would someone please do the honors of the 3000th Post?"
Although, technically I think the Comment of yours that was actually
#3000 was the one that read
"Mitch- you have never ordered a brown Raiders fedora in beaver?!?!? WOW! You're going to love it!!!! I know I love mine!" ...once we started the 61st Page it would've been the 300
1st Post - but I guess I
could be wrong
But either way, it's
YOU Nick! Congrats for being one of those fellas who can't tire of talking about the Mad
(Hatter) Skillz of BendingOak!
But BIGGER
Congrats to John, for giving us SO much to talk about!
And THANKS a lot for posting that photo of the exact kind of hat I've ordered from John, Nick...
NOW I'm doing THIS:

I was pretty tired when I made those posts... I had no clue I was #3,000 until Scott told me so!
It is no secret that I love John's work. He is truly an artist in the field of hatmaking! I love talking about John's work, as well as showing it off!
Mitch- you are going to be thrilled with your beaver Raiders- It is just one of those hats that gets better and better each time you wear it!

Okie doke, let's steer this back to topic.
3000 posts is nice, but when a lot of them have nothing to do with a new Penman hat arrival or showing hats that have already seen, many of them over and over again, it's not exactly a record breaking event. Where are all the new acquisitions?
If we went through and deleted all the driftwood, I bet half of these pages would disappear.
Kidding, sort of....but let's get it back on the rails if you don't mind.

Actually that would be a wonderful service. It would make reading through longer threads much more enjoyable. I've even gone back to some of my off topic post and edited them to a single period as a curtesy.

I think that this thread has become more than get a hat, then post it, but about the comradery that develops when people have some interests in common. And to some degree, the same sentiment applies in threads where the author is naturally curious about something, and just wants to discuss the subject with other members. I think it is as important to enjoy the "hobby" as fans with others who share a common interest. Maybe not each and every post is stricktly about a hat or a jacket, but apparently this is where the rub enters the picture sometimes? I know that in the past, others have called out members, but the human element plays a factor in this forum, as it has been stated many times in the past: "...come for the gear, stay for the people..." otherwise we might as well just be looking at a database. JMO. By now, we've all seen countless Wested's and AB's, etc., the difference is what it means to him or her personally, at that moment. To some degree, you sort of share in someone's victories and defeats in real time. Some of my fond memories in this forum have been in thinking back on when certain members were new, and how they grew, etc. as members. There has been a progression and friendships have been a part of that process.

Scott, last time, back on topic. This is not up for debate, nor was it an invitation for further 'conversation'.
In case you have forgotten, these areas WERE created to be 'data bases'.

M, you can shut it down if you like but I think daren posted a new hat he got from me and Nick posted a year old raiders hat of mine. I think both of them could have posted in new threads but why bother making more threads. Which ever way you want to go is fine by me. It's your bar.
Re: The Penman post 'em up Pages....The Adventure Continues.

John, at least Daren and Nick were keeping to topic. Daren's post was 3 weeks ago, as a matter of fact. Hasn't anyone else received a Penman more recently than that? Anyway, that's not what the problem is here....
It's the 'high-fiving' over the 3000th post that caught our attention. It became clear this thread had become a matter of quantity rather than quality. In examining these pages today, one mod even stated that this thread has been pruned once before for this problem.
In scrolling back through all 60 pages it was discovered there was a lot more chaff than wheat, and that eats up server space.
Once someone has time, probably over the Holidays, this will be cleaned out and the 'meat of the matter' will be left for members to read through.
This thread was supposed to give folks opportunities to see the hats made by Penman Hat co., and possibly come to a decision to buy one based on photos and customer recommendation.
The fedora section, as well as the other gear specfic sections, were set up to discuss topics that were/are gear related. It was never intended to be a 'chit-chat' social area. That's why the areas like Lao Che and the Scrapbook section were created. Those areas are the best venue's for this kind of activity, and have been used that way since they were originally opened.
Back on topic, folks. Otherwise, as John mentions, it may be time to close this down if that simple request can't be followed.

Just thought I would share a few pics of my rabbit felt - Sahara CS travel hat. John has made a wonderful hat.
When I ordered this hat I didn't know what color ribbon I wanted, so I left it up to him.
The color that he used is what really makes this hat look so great, and check out the bow, it has just a touch of Indy brown in there. I just love everything about this hat, the feel of the felt is soft, and the color combo of the hat and ribbon all came together to make this a GREAT looking hat.
Thanks John

Wow! A very beautiful piece of work with a very distinct look to it.
Great bow design. I love seeing what happens when folks leave certain artistic decisions to John's judgement... We get to see some really neat touches as a result.
Congrats, GS!

The wider ribbon and color is what really makes this hat.
