John Penman is the only hatter in the world I'd trust to make my wedding hat. I wanted something unique and special; John delivered. He truly made a hat special enough for the occasion. The pounce is the absolute best on any hat I have ever owned and I've owned quite a few. The stitching is superb and the end result is a superior hat that feels as luxurious as it looks. His customer service is as outstanding as his hats are. John has my subscription to his hat company and has gained a customer for life.

   Most hats complete your look. A Penman hat is your look. Whether you need a lid for the Amazon jungle or the concrete jungle, you can't go wrong with a Penman. Handmade for the Hard boiled

  Thank you John for a wonderful hat, I just love it. It's so light, comfortable and has such a vintage look to it.  Even the hat box that comes with the hat is top notch. Thanks again John.

    I was looking to buy a nice "Last Crusade styled hat" of good quality. I called John, as his handmade version was my first choice. However, there would have been a "wait time" for the hat to be made and I needed it 'now' for Comic Con. So John recommended the 'AB Henry,' which he could bash "LC style." John was so helpful, informative and caring; he bashed and delivered my 'Henry' in less than a week! I absolutely love my 'Henry,' but my next hat will be, without a doubt, a handmade Penman. John runs a top-notch business and truly cares about his hats and his customer's satisfaction.

     I chose my Penman hat after a long search for the perfect Raiders hat. I could’nt chose better. Its style, finish and details are beyond any expectation. J. Penman hats are pieces of art.

       I have owned and ultimately been disappointed with numerous Indy style fedoras.  There is no question that my Penman though is the real deal in terms of both accuracy and construction.  These hats are second to none.  John's passion and gift for hat making are evident by his work.  Ribbon, pouncing, sweat band, you name it, there is not a single area John does not excel in.  With John's customer service, when you order a Penman, not only do you come away with a hat, but a friendship with a true craftsman.  I am now the proud owner of several Penmans and I will surely be back for more.

      I had heard and read so many good things about John's hats that once I placed my order, I actually lowered my expectations just so I wouldn't be disappointed. What a mistake! John's Last Crusade hat far exceeded my expectations and was perfect in every way...looking equally good with adventure gear or a three-piece suit. To top it off, John's customer service could not be improved upon. He was always just an email or a phone call away. Thanks a million for a great hat!
