What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I wore my bluegrass green Camp Draft yesterday but forgot to post the picture. I've been playing with the crease on my Gannon lately, mostly varying the side dents to look more interesting: But sometimes I change the crease up to a deeper, more 1930s style, which I would call a six-point... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Thanks! I have some family in Portland, so we spent a day or two there at either end of the trip, but most of the time the whole clan was in Yachats at a nice little vacation rental place. It was very peaceful; many a book was read and many a libation enjoyed, and we all liked watching the sun... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I returned home on Tuesday from a family vacation on the Oregon coast. This is a photo I took on the beach there. It was very relaxing, and I didn't get onto the fedora lounge at all, so I found over a hundred unread pages in this thread. I hope nobody will be offended too terribly if I don't... -
M.C. Gannon Hat Company
Thanks, all! I had hoped it would be a very durable hat. And by all accounts it sounds like it should be. It could be the memory of the crease in the felt that causes the appearance of taper; since the rain, the crease won't come all the way out back to smooth open crown (not without steam... -
M.C. Gannon Hat Company
It's taken me several days, but I've finally gotten around to taking some good pictures of my Gannon hat. Top view of crease by dschonn, on Flickr Hat on head by dschonn, on Flickr I'm trying out this brim shape for now. It's kind of like the curve on the western hats I like best, and on a... -

It may also be that she has her (quite lovely) hair in a ponytail and the hat is pulled down over it in back, thus deforming the crown a little. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I wore my new Gannon today. This picture is from yesterday, but it's the same hat. I adjusted the saturation and contrast, but the lens flare is real. That's how majestic this hat is. -
M.C. Gannon Hat Company
Thanks for the kind words, guys! I took several pictures yesterday evening, but when I try to upload them here, they come out sideways. So here are a couple of indoor shots from just moments ago. The hat has a six-inch open crown creased to about four and three quarters front and back and... -
M.C. Gannon Hat Company
I just posted this in the "What Hat Are You Waiting For Today?" thread, but it belongs here, too. Here's my just-finished commission from Mr. Gannon: -
What hat are you waiting for today?
I haven't posted anything here in many years, but I just got word that the hat I commissioned from Michael Gannon is on its way to me. And since I wouldn't have known about Gannon Hat Company without this fine forum, I figure I owe you guys a thank you. Here's a picture he sent me of the hat: -

Has anyone been tempted to buy...
I like Johnny Depp's style. I think it suits his personality, and it parallels his acting style to a degree. Most of his memorable roles are a mishmash of different disparate affectations, but he employs them with such conviction and skill that it works most of the time. What I don't like... -

How to sew on a button so it won't come off
Well written. I sew buttons on in almost exactly the same way, but I start on the outside of the fabric, so that when I pull the needle back up through the fabric and the loop of thread, the button will hide the knot. Also that way I don't have to hold the button and match in place until I...- dschonn

The I Can't Smile in a Hat Picture Club . . .
I've had a practically fool-proof "camera smile" since I was about ten years old and my sister and mother made fun of me for my goofy smile in a certain family portrait. I can make it exactly the same every time now, if I want. It looks very natural, shows all but maybe one or two of my teeth... -
The nicest comment I ever heard
I was standing on a street corner yesterday wearing my Federation and waiting for a walk signal, and a fellow passing by on a vespa-type motor scooter called out to me "Nice Borsalino!" I was so surprised that I only grinned and didn't think to yell thanks until he was well out of earshot. I... -

The Green Machine
I've wanted a green fedora since I read Neil Gaiman's book Anansi Boys, in which Anansi always wears a spotless green fedora and lemon yellow gloves. According to the book, you have to have a certain amount of moxie to pull that off, and I like to think I have enough moxie for the hat, even if... -
I dont care...
I was wondering that too. Odd, that. I really hope I'm not in the same cinema as you. There will be no end to the disgusting noises coming from your row, I'm sure. "John Dillinger didn't look like Johnny Depp! Nobody in the thirties looked that much like Christian Bale! What were they... -
Question about Indiana Jones
One thing that has always prevented me from taking Indiana Jones seriously as a period piece is that everybody's hair has the dry look. In the thirties. I noticed this more or less subconsciously within the first few times I saw the movies (I was quite young, but had seen enough Cary Grant... -
Is this hat too tall for me?
I think it's less that the crown is too high (though that may also be true), and more that it's just too full for your face when viewed straight on. If I were presented with this difficulty, I would try to introduce a slight and subtle taper (heresy for an Indy hat, I know), perhaps by... -
Akubra brim cut and binding.
Great. Now I really want to do this myself. It would be financially irresponsible of me to do, but I really like the look of the finished hat. It may be a bit rough close up, but it looks great from the distance from which most people will be looking at it. Anybody who knows you bound the...
