    That is absolutely hilarious. Love it.

    M.C. Gannon Hat Company

    Well this was exciting to wake up to this morning. I’ve posted, maybe reposted, my inspiration for what I (and Michael) have been calling an “outdoorsy fedora”. And yes, I’m an unapologetic Jurassic Park fan. In this image though, I think there are two different hats. The one worn in Jurassic...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    The one and only Stetson Bozeman until my new Gannon arrives in a month or so. (Can you tell that I’m 34, have a 3 year old, and take night classes? Guess I’ll sleep when I’m dead. :) )

    Eric’s hats are pure class and that ribbon width, whatever it is, is perfect. I’ll probably send Michael pictures of them saying: This! :)

    I really like brim binding. And I’ve prepaid to that point. Certainly I think brim binding will match the ribbon. Those are gorgeous by the way. Makes me think color matching the ribbon might not be too bad. If it weren’t for other hobbies/projects I’d already be ordering a Moss Green just...

    I'm not opposed to that, but I am trying to distance myself from anything overtly "western".

    Michael says I'm about a month out. I'm excited. (Also my Birthday is late October, so it'll be perfect timing.) So far I've got Western Weight Felt in Charcoal, and the approximate dimensions. But I'm not 100% how I'll end up going on the Ribbon. Width? Color? Knot Type? I realize you...

    Indeed. It’s hard to believe those are the same garment.

    Ah, well I’ve a ruler for translating cm to inches. Saves me the hassle of using the Budweiser/Freedom Eagle equation. I’m sure it’ll be beautiful. Haven’t personally seen a negative word anywhere online about Michael or his work.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Slummin’ with my Stetson Bozeman. Waiting patiently for the “outdoorsy Fedora” I’ve ordered from Mr. Gannon. On my way to the park to run my 2.5 year old out of steam.

    That’s quite nice looking. But not what I’m looking for at this point. I’m certain I’m going to go with a modest width ribbon. Though as far as Rattlesnake goes, I could always go back home to Western South Dakota and hunt one for that purpose. Ran into a ton of them as a kid.

    Outdoorsy Fedora is probably the best description I can think of for what I have in my head and have described to Michael. My Specs so far, as communicated: Size 7 1/4, 3.5 inch brim (bound), crown creased to a teardrop shape at about 4.5-5 inches.

    I use my phone primarily for the forum. The results I get doing this are mixed. Either way, I’ve sent Mr. Gannon the deposit to order a Charcoal, Western Weight 100X. I’ve not yet committed to a Ribbon color. I would appreciate any and all thoughts on the subject.

    Black is probably my second favorite color behind OD Green. So that will work well for me. I may have to request a couple swatches if he still does that.

    M.C. Gannon Hat Company

    Having officially reopened my inquiry with Mr. Gannon, I’ve stated my interest in Charcoal as the color instead of the Dark Moss. (My wife suggested my habit of wearing primarily OD Green shirts would cause that to look too “uniform”.) I agree. And I’m trying to pull away from that anyway...

    Design wise I don’t hate my Stetson Bozeman, thought I want to pull away from the “western” look a bit. (My intent to order in western weight notwithstanding. ) Does this appear to taper? I’m not sure how noticeable this would be. Man, going back to my office job did me about 25 pounds of no...

    Is tapered Crown the norm? And I like darker, earth tones. I’m thinking Black or Charcoal ribbon. With a matching brim binding because I like the look.

    This is a Fedora right? If so, this is the style I’m after. Classical utilitarian. I’ll soon be ordering something in Dark Moss, so color is less my concern than probable dimensions. I know I may be asking something impossible to answer with certainty, but what approximate specs do your expert...
