My Gannon, inspired by the classic Stratoliner.
I am quite pleased with the overall process of ordering my first Gannon bespoke fedora. Working with Michael was a simple process.
I received my hat Saturday. Shipping was prompt, 4 days. The hat was shipped in a hat box with a hat support ring and plastic wrap protectors protecting my hat. The box was clearly marked fragile on all sides.
I chose a dark brown leather sweatband for my hat. The gold embossing on the sweatband is topped off with my full name, a nice touch. I chose a brown liner, it really compliments well with the Steel felt and dark brown color of the sweatband. Its very rich to my eye.
I chose 100X beaver felt for this hat. The pouncing is nice and smooth with a good hand. The beaver felt is dense and has even gray coloring. I also chose a 4 ligne charcoal and brim binding. The color contrast is very slight between the felt and ribbon. I envisioned a cross between a classic Stratoliner and Open Road when planning this hat. Michael met and surpassed my expectations.
I asked Michael to crease the hat in a diamond, which he did to my satisfaction. After trying the hat on, the finished crown height was just to tall for me. I re-creases it with a diamond and lowered the crown.
Michael’s craftsmanship and attention to detail is outstanding. The hat is truly a work of art.
