I'll keep you guys posted when I get the other shots in. If you guys want to see more let me know.

 

[Rogera]

I for one am always ready to see more of your creations!

 

[bendingoak]

I'll post up some interesting hats I made for some interesting people or events.

Love your hats John ! Great to see a master craftsmen doing well, and looking forward to putting an order in soon!

 

[TheDane]

John, could you show the pictures on an open part of the web - or open your FB-account to non-members, please? I would love to see them

 

[bendingoak]

I'm sorry. Give me a few to do that.

After studying about it for a month or so, I placed my order with Mr. Penman yesterday. I'm looking forward to the day that my Penman arrives.

I own 12 of John's hats, and each one just gets better than last. What strikes me about this hat is not only the color combination (which is completely John's doing, I just copied it for this hat), but the FEEL of the hat. My GOD! John's pouncing is beyond compare. I defy anyone to have a hat made for them that feels this buttery soft and pliable. And the dimensions of this hat COULD NOT BE MORE PERFECT. John's has my fit down PERFECTLY, and the brim and crown and crease are all EXCELLENT. I mean, just PERFECT.

I'm so in love with this hat and look forward to wearing it on MANY occasions!

Bravo to the hatter! Bravo! Bravo!

John who?

 

[alanfgag]

They look very nice. So who and from where is John?

 

[Rogera]

That last hat appears to have a Penman Hats pin on the bow. Looks like Johns work

 

[Blackthorn]

John who? Smith?

Alan, that's a very good question. Most of us probably recognize the Penman pin, but for newcomers to The Lounge it's not that obvious. In many ways we're actually using a lot of implied expressions every day.

As a "foreign speaking" user, I used to wonder where you guys bought all that TLC, you always seemed to use to restore your vintage lids - and not least how it was applied ...?!??!!!

Well, eventually I found out. Being a "gently worn" single, I haven't stopped looking for proper suppliers, though lol

I assume John Penman, Bending Oak www.Penmanhats.com

Daren, thanks for posting your new Penman - super hat, as one would expect.

I love the Indy style and it is nice to see the design in different colours. Last year John made me a CS style (my favorite of the Indy hats - I have a Granite AB version as well) hat in his Black Cherry felt which has become one of my favorites.

Rather worryingly, I keep thinking that a light coloured version, maybe in Silverbelly, would be very cool.

 

[bendingoak]

Thanks everyone and thank you Daren for the kind words. The new pounce you are speaking of is something that came to me after experimenting with the hat I made for Yogey Perez Ramos the baseball player. I have been so busy working to get my long waiting list down And other projects to really focus on experiment with pouncing this year.

Here's some shots from the hat that I made for Portland fashion week

Beautiful hat - and the most enchanting "hat stand"!

And thank you for opening your face to us faceless loungers, so we too can see your photos. Your response is highly appreciated
