Looks like The Penman, by John Penman. I had one once (second owner) but it was too small and I sold it to @Bill Hughes IIRC. Would love to get another. It's a real nice lid and I love the contrasting ribbon color on that hat of @scottyrocks

Beautiful color combo.

Thanks, guys. Yes it's a Penman custom, or rather, The Penman. The ribbon is vintage copper with a moss green insert.

Beauty. What is that?

That's The Penman in dark moss I mentioned above. I loved it but it was just too small. I bought it 2nd hand from a gent in The Netherlands, and later sold it to Bill Hughes. Dark Moss felt with matching ribbon, 6 point diamond. A very slick hat.

You posting your new custom Penman has me really wanting to get another one.

Okay, sure, I see it now. I didn't put two and two together. It's a beautiful hat.

I was missing a Marathon, so I just ordered one from Etsy. They had 10% off today, and I bargained with the seller, besides. $150 including shipping.

I envied his, so I bought one.

Nice, Max! I finally scored my first Marathon a couple of months ago. It's a beautiful hat. I think there is a very good chance our Marathons were made by the Frank Lee Co.

I envied yours too, Jim. Envy is an itch that has to be scratched.

I noticed this one on Penman's numerous posts on Facebook. I remember thinking, wonder what lounger is getting this one . Can't wait to see you wearing it Scotty!

Really nice Adams seem to be few and far between, which surprises me. I had the impression they sold a few hats in their day.

I should have it in a few days. I will post in the New Hats thread shortly after I receive it.
