M.C. Gannon Hat Company

[Hurricane Jack]

I did use that hat as a pattern but Michael told me it was a different felt color, pecan perhaps, and my ribbon was the last of an old roll and has a bright orange tone.

I did go back & look. Now I see it's Camel. I do like the Sahara as a vintage color.

Sahara and Old Copper.

2 3/8 bound brim - shallow flange, 5 1/4 finished crown, ~1 1/2 Old Copper gills bow. A super light weight and soft felt. I am very proud of this one. The bow has a definite orange cast that doesn't seem to show up as well in pictures as in person. I told Michael to find something that shines like "a new copper penny". He dug through his stash of old ribbon and came up with this. I think he met the challenge!

Great looking hat and I dig the gills. Very close to the color combo of my Gus Miller.

First I've seen one of his hats with 100X on it. That's new.

Kind of what I thought, Jim. Which is the only reason I hang on to my 20 mode edge.

It's even identified as such on his price page. I got mine late today but no time for pics until tomorrow. But I can confirm the 100X embossing.

I like the new sweatbands. I have two Gannon beaver hats but neither have the beaver label.

Now Max will be searchig for that elusive Gannon 100

 

[suitedcboy]

All we have to find out now is if it comes in a box with clear plastic thingies.

He still has 5 offerings in sweats but I guess I didn't save the pic. Looks like Randy & I both chose the Antique finish. I have one in the Mushroom finish which is a soft light color with no gloss to it. It is very soft & comfortable but it does stain & mark up rather easily, if that concerns someone. Besides those two he offers a darker brown, black, & a gray I believe.

Not exactly black hat weather but I had to wear my new Gannon out for the first time this morning.

I need to find time for detail pics in the outdoors. Using flash inside tends to create shadows.

Gannon Highwayman 100X built on a 3x6 body. Bound edge brim & I requested a 13/16" ribbon instead of the OR thin ribbon, black on black. I chose the Antique color sweat & white liner.

Always great to work with Michael!

Following Jeff's lead I just tried some of the filters.

Great Gannon, HJ. The filtered shots show it well. I like the antique sweat and liner choice.

Great hat. How would you describe the pencil curl if I was to order a hat with a similar curl?

He still offers a brown & a black liner, & the 5 types of sweats mentioned earlier.

I just discovered some other filters I never knew about before. Wish I had a Sepia filter for some old timey pics.

Great hat. How would you describe the pencil curl if I was to order a hat with a similar curl?

With a dress weight felt & a bound edge I would say it takes ~1/8" of brim. If you chose a Raw Edge it might take a bit more brim for stiffness. Hope that answers your question.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

I haven't done a side by side comparison yet but I see no difference in brim, curl or blocking compared to my other one.

Nice hat!

Nice hat!

Thanks Scooterz! I was just thinking maybe I should force myself to go eat BBQ & drink Bud Light during Happy Hour tonight so I can try & duplicate the Natural hat pics with the black one.
