...because as soon as someone starts to make a name for themselves, the imitators shamelessly come to cash in.

My favorite part of the whole thing? This description:
dressier style fedora
Which is to say, if you were otherwise naked, this would be dressy I suppose.
*******disclaimer: this is not a PENMAN hat as we know them

John, you've been ripping me off! I'm getting my Penman hats from this guy on ebay now!
They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but I'd still put a stop to this guy NOW!

Thanks for letting me know about it. I just sent e-mail asking him to change the title of his offering.

I posted that link to show that a couple people posted their opinions of the hat and used Penman hats and AB as a much option.

Well, you know you've made it when you can find yourself referenced on Amazon!

Unfortunately it looks like John is going to have to Google Penman Hats (and variations there in) to see what's "out there."

The $500 DP has been offered by a few places, such as Sideshow, for a while now. I think they started showing up around the time of the release of Crystal Skull.

Man, those reviews must have been written by guys from here
Must be great to stumble across this and see the name of your company referenced in such a positive way.

Yes it is. I had no idea that anything like that was on amazon.
I see that they changed the add name on ebay after getting my e-mail.
