M.C. Gannon Hat Company

[deadlyhandsome]

Ordered my first Gannon this morning. I take it the hats come with a good hatbox?

Yes, they come is a pretty standard hat box.

What did you go with? Michael sent me an email yesterday that he was done pouncing my natural with slate ribbon/binding. The last few days are always full of anticipation.

It’s pretty much like FedOregon's. Mine will have a wider brim at 3” and taller crown at 6” open. Has anyone seen any activity by FedOregon? I sent him an IM asking if he minded me pretty much duplicating his fedora. That was a while ago.

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen @FedOregon lately. Hope all is well.

So all three of us will have slightly different versions of this same hat. I went with a 2 5/8" brim and a 5.75" crown. I originally asked for a 2 3/4" brim and a 6" crown, but I trusted Michael when he suggested the slightly smaller dimensions...I'm still a bit concerned that I should have stuck with what I originally intended but I trust Michael too.

I got in his queue just before he got injured so I've been waiting a while. I also have a dark brown and a granite in the works and a yet to be determined hat in either bone, Silverbelly, or silvermist. I got rid of a lot of hats that I didn't really like to finance several new custom hats.

Are you sure? His account isn't flagged as suspended or banned? Maybe he's just taking a break?

I messaged Fed the other day and got crickets.

He wasn't banned, but he soured on the FL during The Great Bob Controversy and dropped off.

Impressive specs Bill. Doug has been on Facebook intermittently on the "Men Who Wear Hats" group. He is busy at Cabellas registering guns. I need to take him out for coffee one of these days.

No not banned, just pissed and didn't come back. Maybe someday.

My new Gannon is based on the model Michael calls The Highwayman, a 3" bound edge brim x 5-1/2" open crown. In all natural beaver (I believe he calls it 100X) it measures 4-3/4" at the front dip with a center crease. The only thing I had him change from the model was the ribbon, now a 13/16" with a double fray bow in Commando with matching 3/8" binding around the brim.

Indoor pics tend to photograph a little dusty gray in my opinion.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

These pics tend to be more accurate to the color of natural beaver.
