This is my first Gannon. It predates the branded liners and sweat bows. Price is $120 PayPal plus actual shipping to CONUS only.
It's rabbit and I believe the beige, neutral color is called sahara. Brim is 2 1/2" and crown is 4 1/4" as creased and around 5 1/2" open with some taper. The brown...
Does this sound like a good idea to folks? It seems like each of us has the potential to be in a group within a group if only we knew who shared our size. I'm getting vaguely familiarized with this from the inside pix on the daily thread. For what it's worth, I'm a 59/60.
I'm pleased and surprised to report that this may be a poor woman's Esther Weis-ish gateway hat for my large-headed girlfriend. A man can dream.
Sorry for yanking the listing and I promise to follow up with the loungers who got in touch if things take a turn.
The trick to a better cattleman is walking to the store in the rain. I had another go yesterday while the hat was wet and then took a warm blow-dryer to it to dry the more pronounced crease in shape.
It does look good. And yeah, the modern stetson dress hats I've owned or tried on do feel thin sometimes. If it fits comfortably and isn't too loose then you'll have to decide about the wind, but it'll be a snug fitting hat rather than a heavier weight hat that stays on better. I had a Saxon...
I like this idea and I think the two things that would make it go are charisma and pace.
If you check out some of the second tier shows to Anthony Bourdain it's pretty clear that his job is to be more entertaining than most of the cooks, establishments, and locales he visits. The extent to...
Yeah thanks again. The ribbon curling graphic was one of the few images to survive on that thread and the newer thread linked from it. Most of the step by step images are broken now, as are the Dropbox links for a pdf someone kindly put together some years back.
I should maybe bump one of these...
Okay, here's perhaps a more interesting question: how shall I best study up as a novice for ribbon/bow replacement? Moehawk was gracious enough to send me a yard of beige grosgrain for that old western I'm fixing up and I'd imagine a 7/8" ribbon is still wide enough that it should have a bow...
The bound brim works really well with that ribbon choice. Nice work.
Is there a How To thread for ribbon replacement? I wasn't able to find anything useful on YouTube.

Yeah, I wish there were options for the standard and fancy Fed IV apart from the au shipping from Hats Direct. While we're on the subject, do you think the Heritage is worth the cost over the standard Imperial grade? I've read folks who prefer each and some who claim the cheap felt is actually...
I saw the before pic of this hat over the weekend and was really impressed. Did the brim get trimmed along the way? ... Nevermind, I just went and read all about it at the Conversion Corral. Nice piece of work.
