M.C. Gannon Hat Company

[ChicagoWayVito]

Does BSHW have a brick and mortar shop? I have not searched for his website, just taking everyone's word for his abilities. Sounds like a road trip!

BSHW does not have a brick and mortar shop. Bob does everything from the shop out of his house. He is a one man operation with an 8 month long backlog. All visits are by appointment.

Wear that fedora with pride, Eric -

That's great! Felt just like I was there opening up a new Gannon! Was that done on that 6inch 7 1/4 block that I like? I think its a #52 if I remember correctly

Nevermind the redundant questions. Just read your post.

That's the bee's knees, Jim! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Now you're on the trolley!

Oh, and I really like your hat.

As in ridiculous? My brother always says re-Doug-ulous (a play on my name).

Gorgeous! Great choice of ribbon color contrasting interestingly with the granite felt.

Beautiful, I'll be on the receiving end of one of those boxes soon and can hardly wait.

Looks like its the Silvermist: https://www.etsy.com/listing/384537440/custom-order-for-matt-silvermist-pure?ref=shop_home_active_7

That is one beautiful hat. I need to make up my mind on color before my number gets called. It think its between this color or the sand.

Thought I'd share my quest for the perfect off-white lid and simultaneously show the subtle color differences between Michael's Silvermist and Silverbelly felt. Photos have been white balanced.

Silverbelly on the left, Silvermist on the right.

The primary difference is the weight of the felts. The Silverbelly is a traditional dress weight, while the Silvermist is insanely thin (a mild wind gust easily reshapes the brim) but makes for a wearable lid during early/late summer months. Ultimately, the Silverbelly will get more wear from me.

I do not envy you on your daily selection of which hat to wear. Just choosing between these two would drive me mad. I'd have to don one wear it a distance then take it off and store and run back and put on the other and go the same path. Repeating this all the route.

I've been preoccupied lately, so I'm a bit late seeing this one...but that is one of the most striking hats I've seen on the FL for a while! I never would have thought of combining those felt and ribbon colors, but they really work. Center dent is icing on the cake.
