M.C. Gannon Hat Company

[Redfokker]

Gannon in “steel” beaver with “blue metal” ribbon. Still working on the crease. This is the most finely pounced hat Michael has made for me.

I like it! Nice crease work, are you going to work in a more angled rake? Crown for days!

Thanks Mike. The crown is actually only 5.75” (the most he could get out of the hat body), but the angle of the photo makes it appear to be more. It has some rake already but I’m not happy with the crease yet. I’ll get it there.

I just saw this...5 3/4" is nothing to sneeze at! Probably to get enough brim, something had to give. I think a diamond with a substantial rake may be worth a shot. That is what I did with my Gannon. It still looks a mile high.

The wait is almost over. It’s done and should ship soon. Beaver in natural with a 6” crown and a 3” brim.

That is downright gorgeous. I love the twist in the bow keep and the frayed ends. What a color combo!

Now this is going to be an impressive hat. Great dimensions, should be large and in charge. Can't wait to see how you crease it.

Bill congrats to you and Michael. The cobination of ribbon work and felt are very striking. Love the sweat!

I just love this fedora. The color combination is awesome.

I did make the diamond a bit more pronounced and deeper. But as it was was fine. I think it is an improvement.

I agree on all counts. I much prefer a Diamond crease with the "points" being well defined. In your photos the crown ribbon has an interesting quality--the color appears to fade/lighten just slightly as it goes from the center to the edges. Is this obvious in person, or just the way it photographs? Either way, I like it!

That’s a near perfect hat. I really like the wider brim on yours.

WOW! That sure is some sweet looking Fedora! I have to agree those colors make it all pull together.

Super hat Bill. I like the diamond. That ribbon color is quite wonderful.

The ribbon does seem to have a patina look to it. Both ribbons are vintage. And it’s even more noticeable in person.

Just marked a pic by Eric for my own comparative purposes. Silverbelly, Bone, & SilverMist. I need to mark your "tree pic" with all your hats. Thanks for posting the original, Eric!

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Got these marked so far, need a little help on the others.

 

[Michael R.]

There's a Charcoal with a frayed ribbon in there somewhere .

And the key would be great! I’ve been eyeing a bone....

Seems like there is dark moss, granite, charcoal and a lighter gray in there
