Ok...heres the setup; As well as being an Indy nut, I am also a classic spaghetti western nut. I also teach high school and my students are well aware of my peculiarities. One day a student gave me a western hat because he saw it and knew I loved those Clint Eastwood movies and he thought that this hat resembled those hats.
It looked like this :thumbsdown
Enter John Penman. I contacted John about fixing up this hat for me (it had no liner and no sweat, and was in desperate need of an overhaul). Even though it was slightly out of his comfort zone, he decided he would do what he could. After MUCH aggravation and dismay over the dismal quality of this felt, this is what he produced.
John took a subpar(to say the least) hat and turned it into something I will cherish the rest of my life. A hat given to me by a student and transformed by a master craftsman. If there is good news for the rest of us in this story, John now says that he can totally make this hat(from quality felt, not junk like this).
John you have earned a customer for life and I can't wait to see what you can do with a REAL hat when I order that beaver raiders later. :thumbsup
