He did a really great job on the hat I will be wearing next year as warshipfull master

People who love their line of work so much that they hide from open view so as to continue to turn out amazing works of art, are special. John is such a person. His passion for handmaking perfect hats is no secret to those who take their hats seriously. This includes many well known celebrities.I was fortunate to meet him in his shop. It was certainly my pleasure to find this artist friendly, extremely dedicated and talented.John doesnt want a storefront. That would make him a salesperson. He just wants to make his hats, many, many hats.He will be able to repair one my hats in early July. Ill wait.

Nicest guy you will ever meet and his hats are fabulous

Well, if youre a hat guy like me, and have worn hats for as long as I have, you know quality work when you see it, or feel it...I could not believe my good fortune at learning there was a hatter just a few blocks from me that made and sold custom order fedoras, and all over the world!John Penman is the real deal!!Im pleased to call him friend, and in getting to know him have learned what a task it is to become like him, an accomplished craftsman known nationally for his work. Johns hand made hats are exemplary in every detail, and each is made to fit your particular noggin.Two of his models currently adorn my head (not at the same time mind you), and Im about to order a third!If you are looking for a proper cover, made to measure, and of the highest quality, look no further than The Penman Hat Company...while you may get tired of the compliments, youll never tire of the best fitting and looking hat money can buy.Sincerely,Dr. R.C.Rabe

Skilled Craftsmen and a true artist. Super nice guy!

I have bought three hats from John over the years, I love everyone of them!
