What a great looking colour and shape, Jarred. Hope to see more photos of inside and out.
Well, it's nice to know I can be a positive inspiration to somebody! Nice LE. Do you have one of the modern Stetsonians? If so, how do they compare?
Great looking Gannon Brent
Fine looking hat Jared
Tick TOCK tick TOCKThanks, Joe. Michael Gannon is a real artist...and his prices are going up.

I have a tawny Stetsonian just like yours, except (of course) mine is bigger than yours.
The subtle differences are less visible than tactile. If there were one characteristic of the New York that seems to work better than the Stetsonian, it’s the malleability of the felt and its ability to hold the form. I like both hats, but I’m still tweaking the Stetsonian from time to time.
I wear size 13, xxwide shoes. It used to cost a bit more for the leather, seriously.They should make guys like you pay more for the extra felt.
No.. for now I am sticking to vintage. I think if I ever do a custom... my first will be having an old one rebuilt/customized. But who knows what the future will bring
I have one that should be done next month at his old pricing, and another I’m just starting at the new pricing. Even with the increase they are great deals...do you have a Gannon yet?

Don't see too many of those. That sucker's going to fetch a pretty penny on eBay in a few decades.

Thanks Steve! I left the Stetson pin on this one because it's so nice that Stetson/Matt Deckard should get some bragging rights. The Tobacco Brown is nice and rich and the felt is very malleable.
Thanks gents, this is even an outlet hat apparently, given the punched sweat. The only real flaw I noticed was a teeny bit of an uneven pounce at the center of the top of the crown, but a hat sponge fixed that up pretty well. I only ever recall seeing them from that one guy on EBay (where I got mine) and JJ.
I get what you are saying... and conversely with limited availability of vintage in your size. Custom gives you the flexibility to get styling that works for you without breaking the bank or having to search to the ends of the earth.If I was your size I don’t think I’d have gone the custom route. Gannon makes a great hat, but if for the same amount I could buy 6-10 vintage hats in my size and in styles I prefer it would be hard to consider a custom.
Black River Canyon Outfitters trappers hat today.

That's sunbathing weather, Randy. I got out for an hour long walk today. It was snowing quite heavily, but it was those big flakes that are barely heavy enough to fall. A lovely day, even if it was 3 degrees. Ha ha.Nicely bundled, Michael. I had to get things done outside today (and some tomorrow) as my weather is going to be something like yours (except for the snow) for about a week. They are predicting some mid-twenties to mid-thirties for highs for the next week here in central Texas. Stay warm, my friend.
Today, outdoors with my new Penn Craft bowler thanks to Stafan @steur .
