M.C. Gannon Hat Company

Da-yum, Red! That is absolutely gorgeous!

Is the main ribbon charcoal? And then matching brim binding to the navy felt? I'm so impressed, really. My navy bug is growing!

GO NAVY! I think that was the USN slogan a few years ago. The ribbon is charcoal (thanks to Eric) but I wanted to keep the hat more "formal" with a matching 3/8" brim binding. Can't wait to see this color in the sunshine.

My Navy Gannon is finished. Just received the images from Mike Gannon and I cannot wait for the mail to come in. I am eager to get my fingers on that crown! I have to review all the videos on the Crease threads. The detail in the bow is an "orange and black" homage to my alma mater (actually bronze, but it reads), tall open crown, 2 5/8" brim.
Yes, I'm excited. View attachment 76709 View attachment 76710 View attachment 76711

OUTSTANDING! The striped bow treatment is very tasteful, and immaculately executed. Wonderful.

Love the ribbon and bow work on that. Okay we need to know more on the specs, I assume crown is 6 inches. What else can you tell us? Beaver, etc? I think we need M. Gannon to share the block style he is using on each of our creations.

Wear that in good health. Looking forward to the unboxing photos.

Red, your new Gannon looks fantastic.

I agree the ribbon is great on Reds hat and yes I would like to know more about the specs on it.

but what a truly lovely hat

 

[Redfokker]

I'll show images with a tape measure, but the specs Mike Gannon and I came up with are, a full 6" open crown, 2 5/8" Brim a charcoal ribbon with highlights 7/8". I'm hoping to go for a 30s look with a 5 1/2" down to 4 1/4" rake and a diamond crease. Going to be hard to sleep these next few days.

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

pretty sure Michael used the same old 52 block on Mikes hat that he used on all of my Gannons

I love that block. I want to hold it and pet it and squeeze it...

we should all meet up at Michaels shop and sign it ... all of us who have hoods that were pulled over it

I'm honored to have my felt in the same locale as so many of you.

it is a fantastic block ... you will be able to make this crease as deep as you wish and still have plenty of crown

so much fun to crease hats off this block

I can't say I've warmed to blue hats yet, but this one is truly a thing of beauty. The orange/bronze and black accent on the bow is the perfect touch; it offsets the blue nicely without being ostentatious. I support your thoughts about a Diamond crease, but the hat will surely let you know what it wants.

...and in that case you'll just have to send me pics.

It can be the start of great things.... PAD, Portland Area Decadence. Meet the Hatter, then go get some grub!

ooh, forgot to add the part about ordering a slew of new customs! Then get the grub!

Wouldn't that be a great vacation for a bunch of hat crazies! We could make a long loop down to Medford and work our way up the state.

For some reason Oregon has a disproportionate number of hatters. Not complaining since I am only 4 hours away from Portland. I should make the trip over again, would like to stop by those who have a retail store front. Would be fun to check out John Fish's place (ThisIsFolklore). End of July I will be flying to Medford specifically to meet Art and get to see at least one of my Milan's shaped at that time. Can't wait.

Oregon is "The Beaver State".
It is odd that there are so many hatters there. Especially since the hat bodies are not from the beaver state.

Michael,

All due respect, that hat is so ugly my eyes hurt just by watching it.

I don't think you want it at home.

It is so bad you should think about shipping it far away, if it is a 7 1/2 you can ship it down here, I can keep it away from you.

PM me so I can send you my shipping address, I am even willing to pay for the shipping charges.
