M.C. Gannon Hat Company

[Rmccamey]

You should have it in-hand in a couple of weeks. Good luck.

I should have an updated Gannon, for lack of a better term, next week myself.

Woo-hoo! Just got this from Michael:

"I wanted to let you know I can get started on your hat in the next few days...."

Feels just like being a kid before Christmas....

Thanks Randy, I anticipate a super smooth and professional ride with Michael.

You’re having some adjustments made to one yours, is that right?

I have started wearing the 3X around the house, btw. It’s still a bit too warm yet for him outdoors, but hopefully in the next few weeks we’ll make our first excursion. Boy is that a great hat!

 

[Rmccamey]

Yes, it's finally getting toward more favorable hat wearing weather.

Michael is reworking the crown on my western. I hope to have it in a few days.

I've been wanting a bone felt as well. Perhaps as a clone of the Wanderer or Stratoliner.

I’m in queue for a bone too. Winchester is way behind on deliveries.

I just heard back from Michael and there is still no bone felt in stock. So it’ll be a dark brown winter hat for me.

I hope the factory can get some more felts produced. Michael said he’s out of multiple colors.

I’ve been waiting on a 6oz beaver felt in Steel for a year.

...and Charcoal for at least 6 months.

Both of those were colors I considered. I suppose I can be grateful to be a lover of dark brown.

Did he mention what other colors he has in stock in dress weight?

 

[Rmccamey]

I'm pretty sure he has SB and Natural in stock.

No he did not since my first choice was dark brown from the very start. I need a summer hat so I asked him yesterday about changing it to bone. That’s all I know, sorry Phil!

This was back on July 26.

In addition to sahara I have pecan, whiskey, dark brown, granite, steel, black, black cherry, dark moss and camel.

New hat day! I commissioned a dark brown number, a copy of a hatMichael made for moontheloon many moons ago (which, itself, was a copy of an old borsalino number that belonged to alanfgag.) dark brown is a surprisingly beautiful color, especially in natural sunlight.

5 7/8” open crown, 2 5/8” brim. my favorite part of this hat is the unique bow.

also in the picture, you’ll see a granite hat. michael made me that one a year or two ago but i never wore it because the wide black ribbon it previously had was not very conducive to casual everyday wear (in my opinion at least.) so i had michael replace it with a thin ribbon (with the same borsalino style bow.)

im very happy with how it all turned out! gannon’s craftsmanship is just second to none

Fabulous, now I'm gonna have to get back in line for a new one with that ribbon and bow.

Last month I was up on Michael's queue for a new hat, but the Charcoal color I wanted has not been available (from Winchester) for a while. I bit the bullet and ordered a Charcoal 95g FEPSA beaver body and now I have another superb Gannon. The specs are 5.25" open crown (bashed to a modified telescope with a very faint front pinch) and +3.25" (3 5/16") brim, with black ribbons and liner, and a burgundy sweatband. I am very, very pleased!

I like it a lot! Nice touch on that crown. Very Matt Dillon-ish.

 

[Rmccamey]

A sweet one, Raul. I should have a "sister hat" any day now myself. Stay tuned.

I'm excited to see what yours is gonna look like, Randy. I also see a lot of hat boxes stacked up there in that room.

 

[Rmccamey]

Yes, and those are just fedoras and homburgs. My 20 or so bowlers are in another room!

You know it's serious when the bowlers get their own room!

I'm about to post sellers pics of my first ever bowler over in what hat are you waiting on.
