This is my first Gannon made from FEPSA 100% beaver felt. This is a 95g lightweight body in the color Tim and Pure Beaver calls flagstone. The open crown is a bit shorter than some of my other Gannons at 6 ¼ inches. The bound brim is 3 inches wide. The felt was shaped dry and it has a great hand. The felt has good color saturation and it is light and very moldable. I’d say this felt is more to my liking than Winchester’s dress weight beaver, but not by a huge margin and I’m not sure it’s worth the premium. However, Winchester has been having difficulties filling orders.

I like taller crowns too, in general, but I think that crown height and deep bash on the top suit you and the hat both very well. That is a sharp hat that looks good on you!
