M.C. Gannon Hat Company
Pecan....although Olive would be a more accurate name. Or perhaps "Stained Creek Water." -

M.C. Gannon Hat Company
Someone asked about the color. It is pecan. I don't know why it is called pecan since it's more green than brown. Here are some other angles. The bash and side dents change every time I pick it up, which is how I like it. I have an enormous head in every measurable dimension. I really like the... -

M.C. Gannon Hat Company
Behold my first Gannon hat below (second hat is on the way). I ordered the hat shipped unsteamed with an open crown. I recommend the same for other buyers. I have tinkered with the bash a lot since I got it, and doing so has been an education. I really like the not-from-the-factory... -

I think I'm going to ask Michael to replicate Mullit's hat here: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/m-c-gannon-hat-company.83744/post-2963912 I prefer a more narrow ribbon when I'm looking in the mirror or holding the hat in my had, but I'm 6'3" so I suppose many people won't even see my... -

Ask a question, get an answer
Actually...after looking at all the photos of Michael's hats over the weekend, I no longer want another Open Road. I'm not sure what I want. I have pondered over all his hat photos for hours and I have narrowed down my favorites, but how those favorites will look on me is a different matter. I... -

Ask a question, get an answer
When I spoke to my new hat maker over the weekend, he asked if I wanted to receive the hat with the crown already shaped and steamed.. At first I thought, "of course I want it shaped and steamed! Why would I want an unfinished hat." He explained to me that a lot of his customers like to do... -

I need some HAT help!!!!

I need some HAT help!!!!
Excellent advice all around. Let's talk. I have sent you a PM. I always prefer a softer hat, but there's something in my mind that says "an Open Road will need a lot of stiffener to hold that shape." I hope I'm wrong about that! Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you. -

I need some HAT help!!!!
I have purchased a number of nice hats over the year from Optimo here in Chicago, and I also spent too much money on a Watson's hat last year. I wish I had a great fedora, but the only hat that actually looks good on my huge, long head is the Open Road. I have a silver Stetson Open Road, for... -

Tatton Baird Hatters
I would be very curious to hear from someone who has been there since April. I ordered my hat at the beginning of Aprll and I ordered it on the phone. But he hasn't answered a phone or returned an email (or a vm) since. I don't even mind that he is behind schedule, but when you refuse all... -

Tatton Baird Hatters
Has anyone been in contact with Tatton Baird in Utah recently? I ordered (and paid for) a hat from them on April 16. I think he said it would be three months until I received the hat, but I'm not sure. I have called and emailed them probably six times since I placed my order to confirm when I... -

Nice job. And good Lord, I look like you (15 years into the future and 40 lbs heavier) and I have the same glasses. -

The Hat From "There Will Be Blood"?
Another great aspect of the character-hat match is that the evenly upturned brim of the hat has an almost Amish quality to it. It's the kind of brim that you would normally think to pair with a more innocent character, a schoolboy or your friendly local park ranger. But here is this badass... -

The Hat From "There Will Be Blood"?
If I put the hat on my countertop and give the *slightest *down pressure to the crown, this action flattens the brim where it meets the crown and it turns up the flange a bit in a way that I like. If I were to steam my hat and then place a book on it while it dried, do you think that effect...
