John, this one's brilliant Sir. Thank you.



Forgive the grin, and the lack of decent clothing..But you know...Gotta try it on!





And lastly...



I'm going back to staring at her again....Later all!

Ahh..Yeah..That would have helped a fair bit wouldn't it? Sorry....It's beaver...

Absolutely PERFECT! Congrats!

Wasnt it?

That's Raiders perfection, fifthchamber!!! I still like to keep at least one of my Penmans on a stand underneath my TV so I can stare at it during commercial breaks. I never tire of appreciating the beauty that is a Penman Raider And you wear that lid well!!

Hehehe.....Yeah eh? I've said it before, I'll say it again, John makes the best hats I've seen.



Thanks guys!

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Sometimes things just pop I to my head.

Hey John,

Whatever happened with this announcement?

Best regards,
Robert

I'm still going to make it but I'm making sure I have everything in stock before I do.

Okay, cool. Can't wait!

Ok seriously perplexed now (couldn't see a scratching head smilie)!

Peek-a-boo!

(I guess we know who will be playing Michaelson in the BioPic...)


Seriously, though...
This photo could not be any more awesome!
WELL DONE!

Wow. No wonder you haven't been posting pictures for a while. Looking good.

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

Yep! Right on target here. My sources in Hollyweird tell me the working title is: "Things-Knower!" Scheduled for late 2014 ! W>

Hey...only the facts have been made up here! Everything else is true. Sort of....

Michaelson? No, you misunderstand. I was going for the Leon Redbone look.



DHW

Nonetheless, still a very dapper look.

Bdgsi11 wrote:Nonetheless, still a very dapper look.

Indeed, very dapper!

That pic makes me think of the male guitarist from Electric Mayhem.

LOL....

Sorry...I'm still stuck on "Clouseau's silly disguises"...Can't seem to shift that image from my head...

"Kato....Kato?......Katoooooooo"...

Got a quick question....Does John's Cairo Indy hat have the turn? From the pics above it looked like it did. Just curious.....I love the hat. I'd like to own a second Indy hat someday and I was just browsing all the different brands out there now.

Mine does.

If I recall correctly John turns all his Raiders hats unless you ask him not to.

Great. Now I have Leon Redbone playing "Polly wolly Doodle" in my head.

Good looking 'stache there, my friend! Glad to see another fellow handlebar man onboard!

Regards! Michaelson

Correct. Wouldn't be a Raiders hat without.

Cool. Thanks for the info.

My only regret is that I didn't have my AB turned when I got it.

Well, just got the call from John to confirm my address! Not a new Penman, had my Raiders for a year, but it is a new liner!

I've been thinking of sending back my Hats so John can replace the liner. Especially the Raiders one. That one is pretty funky.

Pretty much the reason I sent mine.

Robert.

Well, just received my Penman Raiders Fedora with the newly placed liner, it looks awesome!

Thanks John!

Thanks, John. It's the finest hat I've ever owned.




I'm not sure if I have shaped properly yet. How in the world the post office can crush a box that sturdy, I'll ever understand.

I will say one thing. Lean the front pinch more to the left(picture-wise).

You do realize that this post is dated September 29, 2008, right?

Also considering post count, I doubt that KY Jones comes here often/at all anymore.

Also, it's his hat. He can wear the bash anyway he wants to... I say the not so tight pinch adds a little bit of character to his Penman Raiders.

I'm sorry. I was not complaining about the pinch(and BTW, it was just my opinion) I was just saying that in my opinion it just needed to lean over teensy weensy bit. Sorry.

Regards from a gentleman: baddates1

Oh! The hat looks very nice!

Regards from a gentleman: baddates1

He is also very lucky to have a Penman hat!

I just got my Penman yesterday. It is an amazing piece of craftmanship! Will post some pics soon.


Thanks again John!

Yes I agree but that hat was shipped before me adding my penman hat boxes so when ky received his hat it was crushed. He popped the crease back and then popped it on his head and never wanted to change it. He likes it that way and I think he wears it well. Made it his own.

I apologize as well, I did not mean to come across as harsh. I just read over my post again, and I can see how it can definitely comes across as harsh. That was not my intent; in fact, I was just curious about your post.

Apologies for the misunderstanding.

Best regards,
Robert.

no need to say you are sorry. I didnt think you came on harsh at all. I was trying to explain why his hat is a tad off. I'm sure the crease is much different from what you see in these two photo's. Creases change from when I crease them in my shop. Thats why when I make a Raiders hat for myself I don't shoot for one scene Ie: raven bar, idol grab or SOC. It's going to change once I start wearing and handling the hat. For customers I will crease for what ever scene they want but in the long run if you wear it, it will change.

Agreed. My Raiders definitely has changed since the first day I received it. (In a good way!)

I need a new hat.








John?

Oh yeah. It's July again. I wondered what that "itch" was.

DarenHenryW wrote:I need a new hat.








John?

Do you want me to take the money for it directly from your bank account?

You do gift certificates.

You ought to do a club.

Automatic payments of $120.00 per month gets you a new hat off your "wish list" every 4 months.

Yes, of course, the "Penman Hat Subscription".

We've discussed this before.

DHW

gift certificates, yes.
