However, based on what happened to Steve I'd recommend he create an alias, establish a separate brand, tell no-one, use a PO Box in Maine and charge $1,500 for copies.
Don't worry I am all set up. I am lucky because I have the fortune to say I can learn from Steve's mistakes. Sorry to say that.

This is my Raiders Fedora, under different lighting conditions. While on vacation, out on my wife's family ranch, we got a freak thunder storm! The hat got drenched! In my ignorance/ inexperience I popped out the creases and totally messed up the hat. (I ended up making my Fedora look like a road-killed boonie hat) It was a gift from my wife for finally graduating college. I can't even tell you how much this gift ment to me, not to mention how crushed I was after I messed up the hat! My spirit looked as crushed as the hat...sorry COW members don't have any before pics, I couldn't even bring myself to look at it. Well, long story short, after a phone conversation with John, I sent him the hat and this was the end result!!! Thank you John! John's miracle work brought back my favorite Raiders Hat!

Normally I would suggest popping out the creases but in this case as he isn't really keen on creasing a hat I thought it best he just leave well enough alone. Advice "case by case"

It's a c-crown using Marc kitters felt. Indy brown with vintage 1" ribbon and matching bound edge. I made one for myself and my buddy and good friend Giancarlo Esposito.
Well, I hope I didn't miss anyone and if I did I thank you now.again, thank you everyone for all the kind words and support. maybe I should stay away more often, I get so much more attention. love you all.

I missed all the members but not sure how much longer I can stay. After reading a few items I may just have to say goodbye to this place and that is heartbreaking as I really met a lot of good people like yourself.
Or in the Fedora section where a shadow link was left to help with the redirect. Just keeping things tidy as your post was a 'for sale' post so belongs in the classified section of the forum.
Wow. Impressive list! It just goes to show how much 'they' (the celebs) love to copy us normal folk ! (Well, if one can truly call 'gearheads' normal !) W>
All this talk of what celebs John's made hats for got me thinking I should maybe see what they think about their Penman hats. So I asked Karl Urban. For the record I'm posting this with John's blessing and at his request after sharing it on his Facebook page. I participated in a charity motorcycle ride, and Urban was a contributor to the cause and likes to ride. There's no Penman hat in the picture, but I am wearing one of my old Todd's Indy shirts! Anyway, Karl is a super nice bloke, a die hard Indy fan, owns a Penman Raiders, and...we'll here's the picture. If Disney or Marshall or Spielberg ever change their minds about only Harrison as Indy, I've always thought this guy would have the chops...
Here, here! I thought that film was great and Urban was spot on as Dredd. He was also pretty hardcore in Lord of the Rings. That was one heck of a spear throw to take out that bloke on the giant elephant.
As I promised and I will post more when I find them. Adam West, made two hats for him. This was the first one I made him and he took this photo just for me and had it to me the next day after receiving this hat. really nice and classy guy.
