Good morning folks. A vtg.Stetson Sovereign Twenty with a Mode Edge treatment went for a dog walk this morning. This is an excellent hat that needs much more head time.

It has a lovely felt that is very clay like between the fingers. It takes a crease easily regardless of being a dress weight felt. The vintage green hued felt is a very attractive hue.

More yard clean-up meant rake and leaf blower efforts. A Donegeal Tweed Shandon cap was just the ticket.

That Stetsonian is just the ticket Eric. I do pick up that hint of green on my monitor. I assume early 1950s?

I received my (very early) birthday and Christmas present yesterday: this whiskey-colored beauty from Gannon. I couldn't be happier with the hat or with the process leading up to it. I doubt this will surprise anyone, but Michael was wonderful to work with.

Very sharp hat! I have a whiskey with a wider copper ribbon due from Michael Gannon in the very near future; your pictures confirm my high hopes. May you get many happy years of wear from it!

Thank you. I wanted something that balanced dressy and everyday, and that was different from my others--hence the flat and rolled brim, and the sort of intermediate ribbon (I have two Stratoliners and two with "regular" ribbons). The dimensions differ from anything else I have, too. Like I said, I couldn't be happier.

I can't wait to see your hat. It will be cool to compare our final results.

That Twenty is extraordinary, Eric.

Beautiful work as always, Terry. Simply a great looking hat in every way.

That's an absolute beauty.
Congratulations.

I've said it before but I'll say it again...

Nice, JW. Dimensions?

If you get a chance, add it to the Gannon thread, please.
