Within 48 minutes. Pfffffffffffffffff.... just in time.

The new hat from John Penman - I'm so happy. The size is right and it fits so nice. And what a beauty.

A friend of mine, a professional photographer, will take some nice shots that I'll post here.

This hat is so beautifull and it fits so well. It doesn't show on my photo's. John Penman is an artist on hats, for sure.

Yes, I knew that. First I had the idea of a blue-black ribbon - for this light granite in my opinion a black ribbon is to heavy, to hard. John Penman subscribe the colour navy.

I already paid for underwelted, but this was not possible at my hat, because the brim hat different sizes. I saw the colour iron vintage here, so I asked if this was possible. He could have the extra money, when he was take extra intention on the ribbon. So John did and I'm really glad and happy with the result. And yes, it looks almost the same he did on your hat.

This is by far the most confertable fitting hat I ever had. I ordered already an other hat from John by the end of this year.

Now that there is one pretty hat. That is one that will last a lifetime.

Nice lid but dude, but saying "Pay no attention to the Easter Bunny guy" is like driving down the highway and having someone say Don't look at that accident !!!! :lol:

Now you mention it SOG, Mr. Easter Bunny does look a bit of a wreck. I'll make him more presentable next time. :D

Here are some better shots of the Casablanca - JP has made me a super hat.
