That’s a great hat. What’s more, it’s the kind of hat that gets better over the years. Congratulations!

If only Michael could get hat bodies from Winchester. I’m waiting on two and one is approaching a year. I have one under construction, but that’s only because I sent him the felt.
Mike at Northwest told me he recently received some felt he had on back order from Winchester, but there is still more demand than supply.

No, I have only ever had two new hats. An Akubra Camp Draft and a VS from Art. I should get in the Gannon queue.

I’m in queue for a 6 ounce (my first) beaver in steel and a dress weight beaver in bone. Patience…not an easy thing for me.

Gannon’s queue is only two months right now. Not a lot of folks ordering felt hats in this weather.
I should be about 2 weeks out from my next Gannon. I told Michael my preferences in dress weight beaver are Sahara and Bone. He said he was out of Bone. That simplified matters for me.

I would love to have had a VS from Art but I showed up too late to the party. But my one and only Gannon is so awesome, I re-entered the queue almost immediately.

Dress weight. The 25th will put me at the 2 month mark since I re-entered. I'm basically having the same hat made as my OR clone but I'm going with a mid ribbon this time. My OR clone was in natural dress beaver with a thin ribbon in commando. This one will be in Sahara with a contrasting mid ribbon, maybe a shade of brown. Not sure yet.

Very nice. I don’t think there has been a time I haven’t been in his queue during the last few years. On my current build (done next week???) I let Michael make most of the decisions. It’s a very unusual felt color so I let him decide what would work best. Some of my best hats were when I decided to just trust him.
A few days ago I received my new hat from Mr. Gannon, a western fedora using a FEPSA dress weight body in flagstone color. I asked for a hat resembling Stetson OR dimensions, actually more like those on a Stetson Ranger. I am very pleased with it!
Specs: 5.5" crown, 3" brim (bound in 3/8" ribbon in color close to that of body), slightly curved sides, and a burgundy 1/2" crown ribbon with a very small black accent on the bow (I purposely requested colors matching the burgundy sweatband and the black liner inside the hat).
Here are a few pics (two from Michael, and one from me showing a preliminary bashing and brim adjustment).

The 6oz is a less common felt offering from Winchester. It’s western, but it’s supposedly thinner. I’m hoping it will make a closer approximation of a vintage hat.

Flagstone is a great color. Did Michael have the felt or did you provide it?
Here’s my Gannon in flagstone:
