M.C. Gannon Hat Company

[Frunobulax]

Blue's coming sometime late week. Yes The blues are a'coming.

Hat details; For some time I have been in the que for a Gannon fedora. A debt raged in my mind about the whiskey/bone/blue felts. I picked out like colored felts and wore them around to see if they "were me." Or perhaps the "new me." A month ago I received the message from Michaet that I should make a decision. Wow - decisions. I have admired Jeff, Bowlerman's, Bobby Blue(VS hats) http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/what-hat-are-you-wearing-today.19520/page-5954#post-2183661, Chamuco's blue http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/m-c-gannon-hat-company.83744/page-72#post-2166655 and Davids Blue Strat-inspired Gannon http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/what-hat-are-you-wearing-today.19520/page-5769#post-2170554 from the pics on the forum. Lovely hats that draw the eyes attention to the blue, gorgeous dimensions and workmanship. It took me wearing about my vintage blue homburgs, blue Stratoliner and blue Lee around to convince me I could work blue.

For me the mid-ribbon has been working well. It is the "Town and Country" in-between. The mid-ribbon hats I have are the go to lids when I just pick a hat out and head out for the day. Now details - blue/chacoal/red or others. Decisions.... Mr.Gannon was kind enough to provide some working pics to assist. His opinion was that the charcoal was subtle and worked as well as the blue ribbon binding was perfect to push me of the indecision bench. My decision - charcoal. subtle and less conspicuous. CharcoaI so that it offers eye appeal and stands proudly against the blue. In order to make the hat coordinate with more attire of mine I asked for the whole "meal deal" - charcoal ribbon/windcord/binding artisan work by Michael.

Michaels outdoor shots are very telling. I really appreciate those vs. an easy inside shot. The natural lighting provides details in the nuances of the colors. BTW: I appreciate that Michael is showing some grass. Keen. I remember what that looks like.

Almost finished and prepared to ship pic:

Monday Morning Blues!

I will be channeling the blues all week. I will pull out a guitar the evening and run thru some acoustic blues. Mississippi John Hurts song, above will be the first of many.

THANKS in advance MICHAEL!

Best, Eric -

Very nice, Eric. I too have been admiring the blues. I almost changed my last order (Granite) to blue because of David's Strat copy. My next Gannon will also likely be blue - whenever that may be.

Good job, Eric. Great workmanship Mr. Gannon! Can't wait to see it on your short balding head!

It's going to be a great hat, Eric. The navy blue is one of Winchester's best felts and you know Michael's work will be first class.


Cheers!

Got my Gannon yesterday. What a fine hat!!! The feel of the felt is so much like 100% beaver of 50 years ago.

 

[Frunobulax]

Excellent! Color and specs, please?

simply sublime !!!

just when I thought Michael had impressed me to the maximum ...

Powder blue is the name Michael called it in emails. Charcoal edge and ribbon.

I had concerns that my lopsided egg head might have issues with the more round oval but it fits perfect with no cranial abnormality bash distortion (is that a thing?). Comfortable but snug enough to hang on in Texas wind. Finish of every part of hat is absolutely to my OCD standards (I adjust doors and loosen bed bolts and scoot the bed on EVERY pickup I have ever had).
I wore the hat in office all afternoon. I also have to 'fess up to walking by and peering at the bathroom sink mirror way too many times. I didn't get one bit prettier but what a hat!

Busy day and I am finally home to share a couple of pics of my new Gannon Wanderer in blue. It was inspired by the vtg. Stetson fedora the Wanderer. Search as I have, I have only seen pics of a couple of the prized vintage hats. I continue my search. This hat by Michael Gannon is my homage and will be worn proudly.

Cold, gusty day has me turning my collar up to offer protection. The hat fits perfectly! The felt...just plain excellent.

Navy blue and charcoal binding, ribbon and wind cord.

I will share more when I have time. Best, Eric -

Wear it in pride and I hope we get to see it often. Best, Eric -
