Thank you, good sir! I'm happy to be in this brotherhood at last. I've seen some fine, fine examples here in this thread. Now that I have mine, I'll enjoy seeing other member's new Gannons as they arrive.

As Eric said, advice well-heeded! If I go that route, I’ll definitely consult with Michael. I wish flat and up brims looked good on me but they just don’t. I don’t have enough head height from my forehead to the top of my skull to pull that look off. That packer drawl would improve the look...
Thank you Randy! I don’t have a ton of experience with true vintage felts, but this Gannon is comparable to my 70+ year old Stetson 3X OR. The Stetson brim is more pliable and soft but that could be partially due to age. The crowns are very similar in hand. I’ll be looking forward to my next!

My Gannon is out for delivery. I won’t see it until this evening but the anticipation is driving me nuts! USPS has actually impressed me. The hat shipped from near Los Angeles on Monday and out for delivery in Alabama on Wednesday morning.
Wonderful hats, Eric! Your brims appear to have minimal flange, which I like a lot! Do you use the iron method to achieve that look or were they like that already? I’d be very curious to know.
