M.C. Gannon Hat Company

[Michael R.]

Good evening folks. I received pics of the finished hat this weekend.

.

The whiskey beaver felt and charcoal trimmings works well! The ETA is sometime this upcoming week.

New hat day coming soon! Best wishes to all, Eric -

Is it me , or does that Hat resemble the Hat Howard Hughes wore in the photos of the Spruce Goose ?

Distantly. The bound edge on the Spruce Goose is wider ribbon. Debate here on the form has ranged from Whippet to other model and makers. Art Fawcett made a tribute hat that was really spot on quite some time ago.

IMO, he was a wealthy man and could afford to have many hats. Pictures of him show different ribbons on brown hats. Lots of folks, in that time, wore leather jackets or Ricky jackets and brown hats.

Heading out to check on the spruce (canadian) goose. Back later, Eric-

Here's my Gannon #2. Granite felt & charcoal ribbon

Congrats Andrew! The wider ribbon is very sharp on the granite felt. Darn sharp. I imagine you can wear that hat paired with oodles of stuff from your closet.

I like the granite felt tons and the charcoal ribbon allows it to be worn with cool colored attire easily. The granite by itself can pair with warm. A versatile hat combo.

Love the hat!

My hat....similar........

Wear your new hat with pride Andrew. Best, Eric -

Thanks Eric. Yes, I'm very happy with the hat. It's going well with a navy blue suit today.

Your hat looks terrific too. The wind trolley is a classy touch.

Thanks Fed.

For some time I was reading this thread with a mix of admiration and envy until I finally ordered my first Gannon.

Now I have 2 Gannon's and I still read this thread with a mix of admiration and envy.

There are some amazing Gannon's out there.

Very nice hats, Eric and Andrew. Great color combos on both.

Congratulations on your new hats and kudos to Mr. Gannon!


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Thanks Anthony. I often think back to your crease video when I'm holding a hat over the kettle.

That's a beautiful hat Eric, need to baptize it with a shot of Glenmorangie on the rocks, and I mean rocks, those little pieces of granite that you freeze and use instead of ice !!

What is Michael Gannon's direct email address? I sent him a question through his Etsy site but no answer. Might be time to place an order from him!

"It was time a couple of months ago" your first thought once you open the box !!! [emoji6]

Whiskey stones. The stainless steel ones work best.

Thanks guys. Hats and now whiskey! Jeepers whats next the sports car to drive to the liquor store! I need to take yet another job.

Truth, I will have to look into trying a "sipping whiskey." I am curious about the recommendations here and on the drinks and hat thread.
