M.C. Gannon Hat Company

[Short Balding Guy]

Hey guys glad you are enjoying the pics.

Sir the light colored felts you have marked are spot on! excellent.

The crowded pic ( ) has 2 charcoals (one top most and the other the 2nd row 4 th hat. Top charcoal is my first with an blue/black ribbon. The other has a frayed charcoal ribbon.

The 3rd in the top row is a gray felt. At least I believe that is the name this late evening. It is a medium gray and incredibly versatile.

The above pic has from top granite, r-gray and l-blue.

Or perhaps a different grouping to showcase the gray. The below shot contains (l-r) whiskey, blue and gray.

The 1st in the second row is the granite felt w/charcoal ribbon.

The third row 3rd hat is another Moss Green but with a gill ribbon treatment. Everyone should have a mid ribbon and a gill ribbon Moss Green hat!

Yet another grouping (l-r) silverbelly, charcoal, charcoal w/fray, silvermist (wide ribbon), granite and moss green.

We need to have everyone add their Gannon hat family pics to the thread. If the weather permits over the upcoming month perhaps I can re-take a family pic. I will need to add a natural beaver gilled hat to the pic.

Now I am intending to go thru the thread again to review all the gorgeous pics.

Best this evening, Eric -

Just marked a pic by Eric for my own comparative purposes. Silverbelly, Bone, & SilverMist. I need to mark your "tree pic" with all your hats. Thanks for posting the original, Eric!

Got these marked so far, need a little help on the others.

Jack; Glad the pics are useful. I have tried to answer your query in the above post: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/m-c-gannon-hat-company.83744/page-131#post-2413352

And the key would be great! I’ve been eyeing a bone....

The bone felt is dynamite. If their is a time when you desire a creme-ish hued hat this is the felt for you. The label bone is just such an accurate description of the hue.

Michael has also tried to talk me into a bone. Maybe when the weather starts to cool off again?

I’m actually a little embarrassed by how many hats I’ve commissioned by giving the hatter a screen shot of one of your hats. I appreciate your style.

Brent.

Eric, I always appreciate your pics taken outdoors. They are never blown out in direct bright sunlight & are the best judge of actual colors.

If Bone is creme-ish in natural light would it be fair to say that SilverMist is more white-ish with slight gray or blue/gray undertones? And is the Silverbelly typical of SB today with tannish undertones? I guess now I am more interested in the differences between SM & SB.

Thanks Jack for the kind comments. Like many of us, I make an effort to take pics that showcase the hat features and hues accurately.

Silvermist is exactly a cool white with the gray/blue undertones. When next to the silvermist the SB shows its warmer tannish tones. I do see the beaver silverbelly very similar to the vintage Stetson 25 OR's in hue. The silvermist felt is a bold felt in its silver white hue. Paired with grays/black and white combos of attire it is special.

Above is a Gannon silvermist.

I hope the pics assist. Eric -

Here is a pic taken this morning of the STEEL GRAY (I went and looked up the color hue this morning.)

Do you have a VS in BlueSmoke to compare to the Steel Gray? Steel Gray seems to change a lot to me with different exposures, from inside to outside for example.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Here is a bluesmoke (VS felt) and the steel gray (Gannon) fedora shot Jack. Rain is imminent and the blue has a bit of a washed out hue this morning.

The underbrim shot of the bluesmoke shows the washed out blue effect of the overcast skies.

Jack your bluesmoke felt is the same and you should be able to get a feel of the steel gray color.

I am sure enjoying these images of felt colors on beautifully finished hats Eric. My first foray into the Bone felt with the Lord's Hat has been positive. I think a more bone is in my future.

That's about the difference I expected. And it's a good example of how the Steel Gray appears to darken in overcast lighting conditions. I really like my BlueSmoke.

Thanks for making the comparison pic this morning!

PS: for the record I did change my copy of the tree pic to reflect the color as Steel Gray instead of Gray, & the key to SG.

Bluesmoke is an excellent shade. I have a steel on the block soon from NW. Going for a Whippet-esque look with a burgundy highlight. Your pictures are so inspiring Eric. I save many of them to my "Covet" hard drive file.

Bone - gorgeous. I have really enjoyed this felt hue. Michael added the sage color insert and it really makes the ribbon work pop. Creme is a harder hue for me to wear in our winter, but the rest of the year (approximately 7 months ) it rocks.

That's about the difference I expected. And it's a good example of how the Steel Gray appears to darken in overcast lighting conditions. I really like my BlueSmoke.Thanks for making the comparison pic this morning!

You are welcome. If Michael had bluesmoke felt I would have to get in his que right away.

Jack; when you have a moment check out the hat collages that Rabbit made of VS felted hats. One of the posts is here: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/thre...l-affiliate-thread.71408/page-21#post-1793689

First, thanks for all the helpful information and images you and others have provided!

MY HAT: first pictures Michael Gannon sent me, in other lighting:

Granite beaver felt with a 7/8" Steel Blue Ribbon
2 1/4" brim, unbound
Antique Brown Sweatband
Goal of a lower crown than most of you prefer-- that will possibly 'read' as similarly proportioned on my smaller head.

(I requested that the crease bring the hat to 4" or lower at the front and back, without requiring the telescoping required on most crowns to get there.)

(( I'm thinking Open Crown from the get-go, next time. ))

I should have it in-hand, on-head, soon!

New hat day coming! I really like the granite felt. The steel blue ribbon is such a grand idea. Excellent. I can not wait to see the finished hat in real life and worn in your net post. Congrats!
