Allrightyy - I'm the proud owner of a new Gannon hat. [emoji3]

I really like it - fits perfectly out of the box and the quality is first class.

The open crown is 5 3/4 and the brim 2 3/4. I was tempted to have Michael make the crown 6 inches tall, but I thought it might look a little too high with the thin ribbon.

Now I have the hat, I see the proportions are just right for me.

I had an idea that I might crease this one with a cattleman's crease, but the hat had other ideas and was much happier with my usual center crease and deep pinches.

Very nice, thin ribbons are just what I like and that hat is excellent.

RJR, Moon - thank you, guys. It's nice when your expectations are met or exceeded and I am going to enjoy this hat a lot.

Michael obviously cares a lot about quality. This is the second time he made the hat; with the first he found a hard to see defect in the felt, under the brim, right next to the sweatband. I told him it was no big deal since no-one would ever see it, but he insisted on starting again because he wanted it to be perfect.

I've always rated TonyB as being the hatter who gets the best feel and finish with the Winchester felts, but Michael is right up there too.

What's scary is that I already have the vision of my next hat dancing in my head [emoji3]

Brim is 2 3/4 with 5 3/4 open crown. Navy blue beaver felt.

I already have a blue hat that TonyB made for me a few years back - based on a 30's Dobbs owned by MIA lounger Delectans.

Winchester seems to do better dye jobs with some colours more than others, and the navy is one of their best from what I've seen.

I've not worked with Mike at NW, his work looks to be really good too.

With my limited experience, NW Hats. But I plan to order from Gannon as well.

Can someone please turn me on to the email address for this hat maker ? I found him on Etsy but I cannot log into my gmail for some reason and I do not have a Facebook Account.

Thanks

Super nice. Thin ribbons just seem to have some extra "POW" to them in the looks department, even though a wide ribbon has an ability to be fancy-pancy....the thin ribbons just have such an appeal....Daniel says "Wide may be the IN thing on hats, but thin ribbon is where it is at"!!!!! I wonder if Stetson actually ever made a Stratoliner in a Navy Blue (vintage)?

Thank you, Ms. C!

I do believe I've seen at least one dark blue vintage Stratoliner posted here - was some ago ago, though.

David, that looks great. Nice job by Michael and you are looking good in it.

That blue is really nice.

Cheers, Jim. Having owned or seen most of the Winchester colours my two favorites are the Dark Moss and Navy Blue. I'm lucky to have two hats in each felt and they are all fantastic to wear.

I especially love the ribbon work on your new Dark Moss - I plan to totally copy you at some point in the future [emoji3]

Michael's work is first class!

Fantastic. Great color. Perfectly matched ribbon and brim binding. Gotta love the Gannons!

It is a wealth of choice in the world of custom hatters. We are really blessed to have such fine craftsmen at our disposal.

Thanks, KY.

Belfast, you are right - there are a lot of excellent custom hatmakers around at the moment - many new ones since I became interested in these hats some years ago.
