I do not have any of your fine hats but have been following you on social media and web forums for years now. I admire your work and appreciate your eye for detail. Your skills at producing accurate reproductions of hats from TV and movies are second to none.
I know you are a fan of hats just like myself so I know anything you produce has a fine eye for the little details that makes your creations what they are. Is there any way you can bring yourself to provide myself, and maybe others reading this thread, the specification you have to the Reddington fedora? Heck did you get to communicate with Spader himself? Outside of the silliness this thread, I am actually interested in leaning more about this hat, and maybe a bit about Spader himself. Seems like an interesting man. If not, I fully understand.

Thank you for your attention

Johnny

Thank you very much for the kind words. I do painstakingly go over detailsto replicate hats and a big fan of hats myself. I think that’s part of the reason nbc came to me as well as providing the felt andfinish that Spader wanted and could not get from a recent Borsalino.

I do appreciate your understanding during all this but
After what has transpired I rather tell you anything you want via phone 971-246-1832.

Why not post it it would be incredibly helpful for people on this forum if you could

All that transpired was a lot of miss communication and insults being thrown around which again I apologise for my remarks
It would help the future viewers of this forum if the info could be posted
If not due to come contractual obligation I understand

Well one thing...Mr. Penman does have a ton of "hatter" knowledge and should be considered an expert on most hat topics as compared to most here...after all he is a professional where some if not most here are still learningalong the road of hats.....

I was just repeating what I have been told and not questioning him I was just sharing info I got so he could enlighten me

I believe Mr Penman has enlightened you as much as he can.
Its time to take all of the info you can get from these responses and make your own decision.
Good luck!

Hi @mattmactimpson. As others have already said, @bendingoak has given you a lot of information already. I think the time has come for you to take all the information you have been given here as well as whatever additional information you have gathered from your independent research and make your own informed decision.

I don't think it is reasonable for you to expect more information from @bendingoak - he has been very informative and very patient.

Once you have made your decision please let us know (and post photos of your new lid).

Good luck

The best answers I got were from johnny the reason I am asking for more is because he offered info but only if you called him (seems like a sales pitch more and info help) why not post it to help future readers of this forum if that is the reason for this forum is to help people find the right hat
