Welcome to the FL, Marcus! Welcome to the world of Gannon hats. Great look! Specs?


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Thanks! Sure thing, this one is in whiskey with copper ribbon. 6" crown with a 2 1/2" brim. Michael outdid himself with this one. He's a breeze to work with.

You guys are killing me with all these superb Gannon lids... I'm going to have to get in line for another one! I wonder if Michael takes household odds and ends in trade.... old car parts, used hunting and fishing gear....

My last one set me back a bushel of turnips, three chickens, and goat. He may have raised his price to four chickens since then.

There's that sweet combo, Whiskey with copper... really works well together.

I initially didn't know which direction I wanted to go in with the ribbon, but Michael made the suggestion and I haven't looked back since. He's great to work with.

Really cooper ribbon? My monitor must b screwy cuz it's showing me burgundy. Regardless it looks great. Again, that's a killer crown bash.

Could be the filtering my wife may have put on the pic... But it's copper. Thanks. I was admittedly a bit nervous about getting an open crown, having never bashed on myself before... But I'm pleased with this one so far.

Cool and more pics of the crown bash if you don't mind.

My one and only Gannon has been so easy to bash. I started with a center dent and one day it just fell into a sweet diamond. I don't generally go with a diamond, but this hat clearly wanted it.

I had a diamond in mind for my Gannon from the get go... I was more worried about my lack of bashing experience than anything, but after some reassurance from Michael he convinced me that it could, in fact, be done.

I've got mine where I like it. When I have some time I'm going to steam it in place. The diamond holds, but the side dents need just a little help... wearing my hat so low is probably not helping.

Welcome! Hat is terrific and looks great on you. And your bash is superb. Michael always does a fine job; and, as you say, he is terrific to work with.

It's gorgeous. Welcome! Those dimensions are the golden ratio as far as I'm concerned. More pics!

All things serve the Beam.

Welcome Marcus! Nice Gannon, but then we say that about all of the beautiful Gannon hats that float around here. Like the ribbon color.
