    M.C. Gannon Hat Company

    Great hat @Woodtroll The man is an artist, great to deal with, and a good business man to boot. From my experience it's rare that those things aren't mutually exclusive.

    Stetson No. 1 Quality

    Thanks Bowen, much like Brent I think around 3 1/2 is my limit so yes the curl is in order. Did you curl your own? I'm actually a 7 3/8 but I found this hat in obscurity it was $31.00 shipping included.... I had the seller measure it and it was on the bigger side of 7 1/4 and with the bow...

    Stetson No. 1 Quality

    Thanks Brent. It's undergoing a very minor stretch at the moment. I plan on curling the generous brim to tone it down slightly and it's going to be my poor man's Boss Raw Edge - or I guess Boss Bound Edge.. With the straight tall crown when it gets a center dent it has that cool reverse taper.

It’s in beautiful shape aside from the liner and bow are missing and some of the stitching on the sweatband has been torn. The hat was shipped open crown...

    THE MALLORY MILE

    That's a fine looking hat and a great find. I have scoured many antiques malls and vintage stores and have yet to find anything impressive. You are in my city and the same size! Where haven't I looked??? ;)

    If you don’t have one of his hats yet I highly recommend him. Well priced and amazing craftsmanship as well as a pleasure to work with. I’m staring to overpost here but oh well! Here is one of the inside. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Thanks Ken. The colour is called ‘Cactus’ it’s kind of a deep forest green slightly darker and more green than the felt. The dark moss is a real chameleon and difficult to photograph the true colour. There are more photos in the Gannon thread. Here it is with direct sunlight which emphasizes the...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Wearing my Moss Green Gannon today. Over the weekend I ironed out the brim to move the flange closer to the brim edge. I’m really happy with how it turned out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Phoenix Hat Company

    Now that’s clever. As a bespoke hat maker would this be better than having several of the same blocks in different sizes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    I was considering going for this one but I probably won’t bid. Been on a bit of a tear lately. Looks like a nice example though. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F254365723400 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Brim Curls: Kettles, Pencill, etc.

    On a side note I have been researching millinery tools and I think I am going to start a small run of some items. Definitely not as a business just for fun.
