Morning run to grocery in this Buckaroo Hatters beaver/mink blend, black cherry. (Actually, I’m sitting in the car checking the threads while the wife does the shopping!)
Sounds like the lighter shade. The darker shade is really brown.
this one I got from Buckaroo, lighter natural
this one from D bar J, and the darker natural.
Nice looking hat. You did good going with Mike. He and Rocky do great work. I’ve gotten 4 hats from him. Love all of them. I need to make another trip down to see them. He’s in a new larger store now. If you ever get the chance, you should try and go see them. Plus there’s a great...
Yes. I have actually steamed 2 different creases and had no problem changing them. Certainly it’s not like the older hats, but for a Winchester, I was very impressed with the job Mr Gannon did with it. I did several dry bashes with it before deciding which worked best. It held the shapes I...
Hey Brent, I have a 50/50 Winchester and I really like it. It is stiff as you say, but I don’t think quite as stiff as the pure beavers I have. It shaped real easy too. I’d get another one. Maybe just difference in hatters.
I think you will be happy with the Winchester one you said Mr Gannon...
It’s very pliable Brent. And very thin also. You can just about shape it without steam. I did use steam yesterday as it keeps the shape a bit better. I was surprised at how it came out. To me, the hat almost looks too small for my oversized body! But heh, it wears really well. Fits like it...
Well, y’all showing your 100’s lately got me jealous. I’ve not worn mine much since getting it. It has dirt/dark spots/stains on front and rear of crown and a stain on the top of the brim. I wasn’t worried much about the brim, but the ones on the crown were very noticeable. I have tried...
Thanks for the comparisons. I do already have a few 100% beaver hats, all Winchester no doubt. Pretty stiff except the one I got from Michael Gannon. It’s really soft. He obviously does better on his. But I was curious about your thoughts as I know you work in yours. Thanks again.
Nice review of the 2 hats. I too have been looking at AHC ones, but the price does seem high. But good to know the felt is nice like you said. I would be curious how it compares to the Mackey you got a while back, if you don’t mind. I’ve looked at their website and their prices are very good.
I really like how that came out Brent. I am thinking you said the hat color was natural, but not sure if I remember correctly. Also, what color ribbon? In the pics, the ribbon looks lighter than the hat. I like that look.
What a nice hat, and an absolutely fantastic ribbon! I really like those, and rarely see them. I would love to get one like Lt Tragg wears here on Perry Mason.
After trying different creases in this fine Gannon hat I received last December, I finally decided on this. It wasn’t my first choice, but it kinda went in this direction. Funny how one has something specific in mind, but it doesn’t work for whatever reason. This one just seemed to work.
