Yeah Chamuco has them , I saw his review (and yours) on Etsy , along with other Loungers . Speaks VOLUMES ! Loungers know their Hats and don't give out compliments unless they're well deserved . Especially Endorsements . Word of mouth , or the internet , and for Hats , The FL is #1 , No Better Endorsement ! The guys from the Lounge know , it's Earned , not given unless deserved .

It's taken a while, but the bash is getting to where I want it, so here are a few pics. It's hard to capture the color, it is much more blue in person.

just heard from Michael who said that there are 5 hats in front of my moss green "wanderer"
I hope those five are five loungers

who out there has an order in ?

looking forward to my fourth
I have an order in too (my second); also a dark moss. I got in line 2 or 3 weeks ago, and was told by Michael that it would be about a 6-week wait.

He is working on a bone one for me as I write, and next comes a Black Cherry, Dilkinger's style, and a Powder Blue...[emoji48] [emoji48] [emoji48] [emoji48]

Michael,

I will take my Grandpa's word about Gannon's, he looked at my Silvermist and said "Son, now that's a real piece of headwear "

That coming from a hat lover, specially Panama hat lover, speaks volumes, personally I love Michaels work.

I know I may come off as a salesman o_O ... but I tend to get passionate about things I believe in

I do not know Michael Gannon personally outside of designing hats with him and buying them from him

I just believe that he is on to something special and want to do my part to spread the word

.... now where are those pom poms??!... they were here a second ago ... damn it ... Rodolfo must have stolen them
Hey I haven't stolen any pom poms !! Or are there another Rodolfo out there?

Crown is just under 6 bashed, brim is 2 1/2, ribbon is 1, color is a dark blue . I'm loving it too, Michael did a great job.

Well , I sent Michael a request . Don't know the proceeder , but I guess I'll find out . Pecan , the first , hopefully not the last . 6" straight Open Crown , 2 3/4" Brim , Chocolate thin ribbon and trim . It may change after I talk to him . We'll see .
Added an Alan-ish Anthony to the order , 8 week wait though . ... so the wait begins . I measured my Stetson OR 7 3/8 that has seemed too big (don't know why I haven't) , but No Wonder ! It's a small 7 1/2 !

So Two Gannons on the way , Pecan and Dark Brown . Anthony made that Dark Brown look too Good . I told Michael I'm sure I'll order more , just the start .

I opened email to find a pic of a new Gannon which will be on it's way to Minnesota. New Hat Day is coming!

The essentials are silver belly light weight felt, a bit smaller crown, straight side block, contrast grey ribbon, cord and a snap brim. More later when it arrives.

I am very excited. In honor I am wearing my Gannon silver mist fedora this afternoon. My wife calls the silver mist my "big boy" fedora.

This big boy is excited, Eric -

that's quite a looker right there Eric

love it ... and I see you went with a wind trolley ... beautiful touch

I think I will go with one on my moss green ... if Michael indeed has green trolleys

I patiently await my turn to be up ... I believe there are 2 or 3 still in front of me

cannot wait to see pictures of this one on that lovely evergreen branch and on your head
