I got a box today from NC-courtesy of Hollowpond.

Guess what's inside......shall we see? OooOoOOO....scary, could be some ancient evil.....



Behold! The Box of Penman! *crowd gasps*


My beaver LC Penman. WoOt!


Man this thing is nice. It slides on like buttah, doesn't turn when I shake my head, and centers itself right where it needs to. Thanks Hollow, and thanks John for turning out such great hats.

Nice! Opening a box like that requires something single malt on hand to celebrate.

Weston

Single malt I don't have, but I do have a Guinness around here somewhere........

Glad it has found a good home! Wear it in the most excellent health...

Oh, and everyone disregard the crappy packing job...

Travis

Considering the nature of the hat box, the packing job was great. The hat didn't move and it fit in the box just fine!

Nice dude!!!!

Me wonders if it would make a really good raiders as well.... From that shot, the crown looks tall....Awesome!!!

Ian

Nothing like a lived in Penman. It really suits you. Sad to see you give that one up, though Travis. Its a fine looking hat. But, it lives on in another's home...on another's head. And always remember to offer your nearest Penman a drink when you are drinking. It gets soaked through the felt and into John's stomach...please give your hatters alcohol...they need it for having to deal with out shenanigans.

Dave

Congratulations! The hat looks great fresh out of the box and on your noggin.

Cheers!

Dan

Beautiful hat and box! They are special days when a hat sized box arrives in the mail!!!
Wear it with pride.

cheers

I love this hat box. The lid is so snug that I actually had to think about it before realizing that it really was that snug fitting and all I had to do was pull it off. The hat is shelved at work brim down over hanging the edge of the shelf near my desk, and at night it goes crown down in the top of the closet. The hat box has its own spot, but not where it can be used for storing the hat between wearings. I keep hoping it will snow again just so I can wear it outside.

Beautiful hat. Some day I'm gonna get me a Penman.

A choice you won't regret.


Excellent hat, Alathea... Congrats!

I'm totally with Ian about how "Raidersy" that lid has started to look, though... LOVE it!

I always loved the looks of this hat. Hollowpond posted some pics wearing it in washington dc. I always thought this lid was a great LC. This is a great acquisition.
