Introducing a one-of-a-kind offering from Gannon Hats, the new London Banker. One of the first bowler hats with the Gannon name, this unique build features a splendid reproduction of the famous D'Orsay curl that sets the bowler apart from other hat styles. Michael spent many hours with some pre-war bowlers to try to get the curl and binding as close as possible to the original. This sample, in charcoal, uses the traditional dimensions: 5-inch crown, 2-inch bound brim (1 5/8 on each side with the curl), and a 1 inch ribbon.

Class and style the Gannon way. Contact Michael and order your new London Banker today!

That is a fantastic job Michael did there, Randy. Indeed as close to a vintage bowler curl as you're likely to get.

Thank you, Stefan. Michael went the extra mile on this build.

Nice to see that nearly a decade later my thread is still alive.
I pop into the lounge probably a couple times a year to see old friends.
I hope you are all well.

The light grey Borsa I purchased from you is still the jewel in the crown of my collection.

Good to hear from you. I've been tracking your IG posts on Rogers drums. Some pretty pieces your posting.

Wearing my Gannon for some cold weather grilling tonight. I really like this hat and would like to get back in Mr. Gannon's queue sometime. I have other hat makers I would like to try as well though.

New Gannon hat day! This hat is very similar to that of @srcphoto many pages back. Charcoal felt with vintage slate ribbon. Michael said this may be the last of this ribbon he has so I feel fortunate to be able to get it on my hat.

5” open crown, 2 1/4” brim
This was made on the 522 block, which Michael said was the most tapered block he has (at least in size 57.)

Very pleased with this hat and v happy to share with the forum… cheers!
