I agree with Tukwila. Both the Whisky and Pecan are great colours that are mid toned and relatively neutral.Hi all, I'd be grateful for color advice for a commission from Gannon. I'd like a hat that will compliment my tweed-heavy fall and spring suits and jackets. My tweeds tend toward the brown and green spectrum, as one would imagine, and I wear other odd jackets in similar colors, with a covert coat or beige rain coat and a range of brown, or occasionally burgundy, shoes. I don't wear so much in the black/gray/blue spectrums. A hat newby here, I'd been mostly wearing flat caps until I picked up my first fedora a couple months ago, a dark brown, short-brimmed beaver from Henri-Henri in Montreal.
So, I'm looking for a lighter color to alternate with my dark brown, but one that will compliment my tweedy wardrobe. I like what I've seen in sahara with antique copper--lighter than I'd been considering, but it might be quite fetching. I've also been considering camel or whiskey. The Gannon whiskeys I've seen on this thread seem to very, some are more dark brown, while others evoke subtle greenish tones (the latter might be nice for tweed suits, which tend toward the green). I'd be grateful for any expert advice you might have (take it easy on the noob, this my first post!). Many thanks!
In the lighter colours I am big fan of Natural. It is light but still has some depth of colour. Granite is a darker colour but still neutral....but how neutral depends on the dye lot. I have two, one has decided brown tones to it while the other is more grey.....but still neutral and fills the middle of the road spectrum for both brown tweeds and could also be worn with grey items and not look out of place. And by the way you cannot go wrong with a Gannon.
