I like that nice deep crease.


Sent directly from my mind to yours

thanks Jim

I love when a crown is really tall like this ... you can dig it really deep and take the front of the hat beyond vertical and ever so slightly cause a reverse taper while still maintaining good height ... you can kind of see it in these pics ...

I really like that affect on some hats ... it works for this one

@moontheloon Anthony , I know I shouldn't guess , but I am ... is that a 2 5/8" Brim ? It could be 2 3/4" , but it looks just under eyeballing it . < This was on here from last night minus the psycho mumbo jumbo about dimensions and geometry ... yada yada , until I realized I was over thinking it . Brother that is NICE ! Love the Whole Thing ! Great Dimensions , that Ribbon makes it , too .
Thanks guys!

Rick the brim is 2 5/8

I messed with a bunch of creases last night and ended up with the one I seem to gravitate toward most

Outstanding! I love everything about this hat. How true are the felt/ribbon colors in the photos you've posted? And how different is this brown from the whiskey?

I love the Whiskey with the copper ribbon so much I have asked Michael to make me one. It is okay, I am on the west coast so we likely will not pass each other on the street!!! Michael is out of that ribbon and is trying to source similar.
How high is the crown, bashed as it is in the pic? Did it start out at 6" open?

belfast do as you wish my friend.
The more Gannon's out there the better.
It is a gorgeous combination ... Who wouldn't want one ?

Hell... I'm in the process of copying Eric's dark moss wanderer
Yeah 6" open and right around 5" in the front bashed.
These are the most perfect modern hats I own.
I have customs from other hatters that are wonderful ... but my Gannon's are the best

Michael yes granite, whiskey, and dark brown with a dark moss coming soon

Anthony; Inspired pic above. Cheers! The colors against the natural backdrop are magnificent. The photos on the hand pump remind of Rabbit's pics on the VS thread. Well done sir and thanks for sharing your lovely hats.

Your new hat looks great on you. The 6" crown just really works from what I can see in your pics. Very creative creases. The creases add eye appeal. I suspect you must get looks and comments with your proud hats.

Inspired to stand in the Michael Gannon line again, Eric -

Thank you Eric
You are actually the inspiration for all of my natural backdrop pics.
I love the way you place your fur felts upon evergreen branches.
Especially when there is snow on them and a bit of the snow sprinkles onto the hat.
Just wonderful

One is mine (sorry I'm not sorry about the additional wait!).

We've got the colors narrowed down to a few choices, and Michael is mailing felt swatches for me examine in the upcoming days.

I'm not upset about the wait at all .. I'm just glad that Michael is crazy busy and I just received my brown thin ribbon which has not left my head yet

looking froward to seeing what color you pick

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery . Great style Anthony ! You're a Great Salesman (and Model) . I hope Michael Gannon stays busy and is able to keep his prices the same . Gorgeous Hats ! An endorsement by you (and others here) is as good as a write up in the NYT to FLs . Can't wait to see the Dark Moss .

I know I may come off as a salesman o_O ... but I tend to get passionate about things I believe in

I do not know Michael Gannon personally outside of designing hats with him and buying them from him

I just believe that he is on to something special and want to do my part to spread the word

.... now where are those pom poms??!... they were here a second ago ... damn it ... Rodolfo must have stolen them
