Club Obi Wan

Just wanted to share these shots with everyone.



Thanks for looking.

I like that color.

Love it! Now, where did I put my wallet?

Those are gorgous!!!

I'm a sucker for a nice gray fedora anyway, but these are real lookers, John!

Regards! Michaelson

Looks fantastic! Very nice color

Okay, I don't know if it's my monitor, the background you're using, or both.. but to me it looks like that has some tan in it. Is this more of a warm grey hat, or is it just the backround/my monitor making it look that way?

It might be the leather jacket making the hat look that way. The color of the felt is granite grey and the same felt used for the movie.

Granite gray is indeed a warm gray, or as I like to call it, "earthy gray," which is the sort of gray that can be worn with browns and tans. I own one, and it can look rather tan in some light. But it is very much gray, not tan. Or brown. I think Oak is right, though. The jacket behind it most likely brings out the warmth.

Those are great shots John! I am gald that you posted them... I always thought there weren't enough good pictures of this hat! I really love that second shot!

Man! Another craving... Looks fantastic John.

Cheers!

Dan

Me like!!! Always thought that Steerpike's was awesome. Not sure I could pull it off though. Doesn't mean I don't want one though.

Ian

That's a handsome lid, alright.

Fantastic, John!

Looking forward to my re-block!!!!

Yep, that's your hat alright. It's on it's way to you. You should have it in your hands soon.

Too bad we stole his hands.

Croft, if you see any unusual activity around your mailbox over the next couple days....don't worry about it.

Regards! Michaelson

Don't worry croft. If someone takes the package, I will know.

Funny you brought up bogart. Working on a block that will be a great for a bogart hat.

John, do you even HAVE a size 8 block?

I've had one of John's CS Train Hats almost 2 years now (see avatar) and have worn it with my Charcoal, Navy and Fawn suits and it looks great with all of them. It's due for a cleaning but has held up fantasticly through rain, sun and snow.

Marty

Oh Bink...............

Too bad we stole his hands.

And don't cha worry now about me mail box don'tcha know, as I'll have it booby trapped (stay out of the light)

Can't wait John to hold this one in my hands. And Fedora started working on my re-block, it's "taking a bath" as we speak.

Croft

Great job at replicating it John! I think yours looks better than the original....

Now there is some high praise.

Cheers!

Dan

Yep... a compliment couldn't really come any HIGHER than THAT!

Fedora wrote:Great job at replicating it John! I think yours looks better than the original....

Thank you very much for the kind words ol' friend. I was just hoping to make a decent copy to offer my customers to go with the other Indy hats. I'm still patiently waiting my two CS hats from you. I just love the grey hat that you make for the movie. You did a outstanding job as always.

John

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhHH. And I mean that.
MY

HAT

CAME TO

DAY


But I was not here.

But tommorrow the misses should be able to get to the post office, ahhh one more day.
Oh and that is high praise, coming from the man who made the orriginal. Good job Mr. Penman
Croft

I just love your wall paper steve.

Thanks my friend. Heck, I am just still happy Bernie decided to use the granite gray instead of looking for an off the shelf Oxford Gray fedora. It was a pleasant surprise to get the call from him after the filming of the train scenes, to let me know he used it, and needed one more as a backup for later on when they finished that part of the film on a set. What I did not like much was Indy left his gray travel hat at the malt shop!

See, Indy knew the hat was more than able to take the abuse. Also, Katanga had come to the States by then and worked in that malt shop, so just like Indy's whip and hat that were left on his boat, Katanga would make sure his hat got back to him.

Maybe the jock that Indy put the hat on was Katanga in disguise.

Ian

My apoligies for not posting sooner, had no acess to a camera or computer till today.

John, words don't describe the feeling it was like when I opened the lid and put in on for the first time and the fit was perfect, I've been playing with the brim to bring it down some, but thats just the shipping that caused it to relax.
the misses was very impressed (as was I).

I'm working still on a close enough train station look, but I took these today, cause if I didn't, well I know which emicon would show up.
Dressed up look.


and for the casual look.
[url][/url]

Once again many thanks. I'll be posting in the Penman thread soon enough, but I gotta late night shift, so I'm gonna take a nap.

Croft

Croft, that hat suits you beautifully!

Croft, thank you so much for the kind words. I love both shots. This is a big reason I like the granite grey color so much. It fits with the suit and even with a shirt and jeans.

Thank you sir

Looking good, Croft. Your train travel suit looks good, but the casual outfit is superb! I'm very impressed!

Daren Henry

I was always curious about the look of these lids worn casual - Case solved - To me it goes perfectly with both!!

Well done sir on the new hat!!....and John, yet another beauty!!

Ian

The two Indy colors tend to go with most anything.

Wow!
Congratulations Croft... that's a beautiful hat and suits you perfectly!

Great photos of a guy who knows how to wear his lid!

Outstanding!! Great work John, and Croft, you wear fedoras so well! That is one boooteful hat right there.

Thanks everyone, I'm realy enjoying this one, it's so differnt from what I usally wear. Brown. That I'll choose colors to go with it, I mean I probably won't wear an Indy style shirt with one, but more along whites, blues and black. This is going to be fun.

And Steve thanks for the high praise on Johns product. Coming from you that means something to me.

Croft

Just added this mention: the beige jacket above isn't to be my travel hat look, it's just a jacket I bought that I thought the hat would go with, see lower down for my final. 8-26-10

Croft

I'm a great fan of the CS train look, and this is a GREAT CS train look! Compliments

Just a quick shot of my final CE of the train staition.
Enjoy. (oh and you can go to this thread to find out the paticulars on my TS gear.

Croft

Looks great Croft!

AGREED!


That suit really... uh... SUITS you!

Nice combo you've assembled there, sir!

Thanks, everyone thought I was rather dashing at the wedding yesterday, funny thing is I didn't know many people there, with the exception of the bride & groom (I work with him), but it took till the end f the reception for someone to approach me and compliment the hat. He said all night, they were saying who's the guy with the nice hat.

And thanks everyone for the nice compliments, the suit does suit me.

Now were is Thomas...........................

Croft

Beautiful suit and hat Croft...
well done!!!

regards

Well, John and Indiana Croft: you've convinced me! As John already knows, I placed an order for my first Penman: a Train Travel hat like Croft's handsome hat above! Now the wait begins!

Best wishes,
Nebraska Schulte

It'll be worth it.
And don't worry about what to wear while wering your new CS by Mr. Penman, I've found all kinds of nice combo's. If only every time I was wearing it I took a pic.
Here's one I took quickly, I know, I know I'm wearing a time, but I just got home from work and I liked the look. Yesterday I wore a blue shirt w/some nice grey slacks and my CS travel "shoes" and the same vest, and of course my Penman CS travel hat and I thought it looked sharp, one of the ladys at work compliment on how nice I looked, so there endless options. Love my hat and so won't you.
Croft

Grey hats work with a lot more things than one would imagine.

I wear my heavier dark grey AB beaver all winter, and it works with just about anything I wear....but then, I'm at the age I don't CARE if it matches with anything else I'm wearing, so I get away with it.

Regards! Michaelson
