M.C. Gannon Hat Company
So he was pretty accurate about when he would start the hat. Great. Looking forward to seeing the finished hat... Oh, and everyone else, hold off on getting in que for a bit, please ;/ -

M.C. Gannon Hat Company
Does anyone have an idea of how long the wait list is for a Gannon? I'm contemplating finally pulling the trigger on a Gannon in the next few weeks. Hopefully it could be ready come the fall? ("Contemplating" - personal definition... Convincing the wife to not have a $#! ^ fit about a hat.) -

Ask a question, get an answer
I searched the forum as best I could but so many words are excluded that if this answer is in the forums, I couldn't find it... Does anyone know why they would put a hatband over the existing ribbon hatband (as opposed to removing the ribbon and then putting the hatband on)? My guess is this is... -

Shantung "straw" hats
Thread bump Tuesday? Depending on where you are, it might already be straw season. As for me, I think I'll be comfy in felt until Memorial day. The first post of this thread has excellent information on the history of shantung. After that there is some good discussion about my personal... -

Stetson Gun Club Catera
The finished hat. Sort of a modified CHL crease. I can't help it - I like a front pinch. Plus it helps break up the taper and the round shape of the hat. The crown was 4.25" with a factory crease. With this, I am at just shy of 4.75" crown. It is actually a little taller than my other hat with a... -

Rabbit to Hat...How It Was Done in 1941
Digging through the deeper pages of this forum I came across this interesting thread. The OP and the article mentions, "the Hat Corp. of America (HCA) works at Norwalk, Conn. - whose products sold under a dozen different brand names." Just out of curiosity, does anyone know under what brand... -

Of all the hats I've seen on this forum, only two or three have really stood out to me. This is one of them. I really do like that hat. I can see why it would be your prized hat. Very nice! -

Stetson Gun Club Catera
Thread Bump Thursday... Two days early. Quick backstory - I bought a new Stetson Catera in May of 2021 and that just made me want a custom beaver felt western (which I wound up getting from Major Mike at Buckaroo Hatters). I have used the Catera as a crash test dummy to see what I can get away... -

Western, anyone?
What good is a western hat if you never go out west? My favorite Major Moore Buckaroo Hatter hat looking right at home on the Phoenix area Arizona trails of the Sonoran. -

setting a hat down: brim up or brim down?
An old-ish thread in need of a bump... It seems to me that the current majority opinion on this forum is to set a hat down on its crown. This thread from 2011, seems to be mostly brim-down. I set my hat down on its brim 90% of the time. Admittedly, my western style hat has a flat brim with... -

ANYBODY FAMILIAR WITH ROGERS PEET HATS?
That. Is one good looking hat. (I couldn't tell you why. It just is.) I even like the sweatband. -

Ask a question, get an answer
Is a 100% rabbit hat hotter on your head than a 100% beaver hat? I haven't been wearing hats long enough to come to a definitive conclusion but in the short time I have been wearing hats it seems to me that my head gets warm/hot under the rabbit fur but stays comfortable under the beaver fur... -

Letter from Stetson
So, based on what I seeing (somewhat limited, admittedly) so far... most working cowboys don't wear felt hats on the job. So the felt hats are used for??? Sitting in the stands at the rodeo? Heading out to the bar? Any other non-working activity I guess. Which would suggest (to try to circle... -

Letter from Stetson
If you can't tell, I've been digging through the archives on the forum. In case this is tldr; in 2006, several loungers started a letter writing campaign to Stetson/Hatco to encourage them to make better quality hats (specifically dress hats). This thread was started when Stetson responded. So...
