Sandpaper or Emery Paper?
quite hard to capture in photo but you can see it here, in some lights it doesn't show much and in others you can see it it definitely wasn't there before I can tell you that- JessieJames

Sunrise Hat Company felt (nutria) and hatters’ tools
So this is a new company on the market? Finally some competition from Winchester. Does it price competitively compared to Winchester? Do you know if any hatters are currently using them I just got my Gannon hat made in Western weight a few weeks ago and it was Winchester from what I know, no...- JessieJames

Sandpaper or Emery Paper?
So I got some 1000 grit sandpaper since the store didn't have 1200 and 1500 seemed too high, I just wrapped it around a deck of cards and went slow and steady and even and it wasn't that scary. Seemed to have evened out some parts a little. One thing though, I had taken the hat to another...- JessieJames

M.C. Gannon Hat Company
oh my! you can order 1 hat body on this site?? Anyone has done so yet? I'm getting to a point I'd love to make my own hat but I'd need quite a few basics to get started but having read and watched so many videos I feel I have the technical knowledge, the practical is the next part is this...- JessieJames

But this is with Gannon right? when I was speaking with him when ordering my hat he only mentioned dress and western (I wanted a flat brim). I like my Western weight but I could have done with one in between, I've almost taken out 3 friend's eyeballs with my hat already- JessieJames

Sandpaper or Emery Paper?
Hm that's a little scary I don't know if I'll attempt this or not. I was thinking of going to a hardware store next to my house and getting a 1200 sanding block which would help with the even pressure (I have a flat brim anyway) and just going at it softly a few times to see if I can get the...- JessieJames

anyone know what grit of sandpaper(s) he uses? I wrote him twice recently (a few weeks after getting my hat) and he has not responded, which is odd of him.- JessieJames

Thanks for the link. I didn't find all that much useful information though on what exact type of sandpaper to use unless it actually doesn't matter that much. One person mentioned using 1200 and 1500 grit, which I think is usually the car type of sandpaper?- JessieJames

Sandpaper or Emery Paper?
Hopefully you'll see this, a bit old. What type of 1200 sandpaper are you using? the ones for car? Wet or dry?- JessieJames

If I wanted to just do a finishing touch on a hat that I feel the nape is a little long. What kind of sandpaper would I need? I'm thinking a 600 grit but what kind (as there are diff ones for wood, metal, etc)? Or any other suggestions? Thanks!- JessieJames

I think I've seen that machine at 8:20 a few times in videos but I haven't necessarily seen it in videos or Instagram posts or anything from Hatters I was looking to get a hat created by. Is that press not the same thing as the one next to it that's also a press but with the sandbag on it...- JessieJames

Oh interesting! Learning so much still. Unfortunately, the learning process is expensive and often after purchasing a new hat >.< I love my hat just wish the felt was more dense and softer (because I like it but I want to absolutely love it) but that's the raw material itself which I was advised...- JessieJames

oh interesting! What is a brim press? And which hatter(s) would this be so I know for the future? a 2 7/8 to a 3" wouldn't be a huge difference. If I had gone down to 2 7/8 I wonder if I could have stayed in the dress weight WITHOUT any curled edges- JessieJames

M.C. Gannon Hat Company
darn well good to know. What is a sagging break? I remember reading on other posts about the curled brim helping to keep the whole hat a bit more structured when it came to flat brims. I guess like how a piece of paper folded will be stronger when you push down on it laying as an L on a surface...- JessieJames

It is Michael who suggested going with the Western Weight. The curled pencil brim absolutely makes a difference to the structural integrity of the hat. I thought about putting one in my hat but I decided against it. And other hatters I spoke to in Europe also said it would be impossible to...- JessieJames

You mean in terms of finish and hand feel and working with it? I needed Western weight because I wanted a 3 inch flat brim raw edge.- JessieJames
