Michael recently told me he was having a problem with his sewing machine. I’m thinking my next hat should be ready in just a few weeks!

Well, I’m not gonna hold him to the date. I look at it as a ballpark thing anyway. Machines can be finicky!

Awesome Hat!
I'm about 1.5 months into my own wait. Hoping it turns out to be a Tax Christmas item.

That’s also the sentiment I relayed to Michael: I’m not in any hurry and I’d rather wait and have it his usual perfect.

That's awesome. I'm a fan of the open crown as well.

I am late to the show sir. Accept my apologies. Your brown hat with the curl is very cool. I will watch this thread to see how your crease inclination develops. Congrats!
Cheers, Eric -

Several years ago I wanted a blue hat, so I ordered this. When it came, I found that we ( the hat and I) could not agree on a bash. Things either didn’t look right to me or the hat would push them out. It spent its time in the box until the other day when I pulled it out and just started pushing the felt around. This is what the hat wants and I’m ok with it, so now I’m wearing regularly.
Thank you kind sir, and no apologies necessary. I have put a few dry creases to see what I might like, and none have grabbed me just yet. I may just put a center dent and let it go, or just leave it open. The more I look at it, the better I like it open crown. But if I ever decide on a crease, I will certainly share here.

Wore a couple Gannon's recently and wished to share some Gannon love.
Happy New Year to Michael Gannon and all of the Gannon hat folks.
Cheers to all. Eric -

Tis the season for your Highwayman. Love the hat Jack.

Thanks Eric. I think of the Highwayman as being in the style of a 1920's - 1930's Western dress hat. Unfortunately there aren't many more options over what I have for a vintage color.
I tend to wear dark hats in the dark days of winter. So, ''tis the season now.

You have a couple of those don’t you HJ? I like em so much, I may have to “borrow” it for a new Gannon at some point.

Yes I have one in Natural too. I would order another one if it was in what I would call a vintage color of the day. The only change I had Michael make is the ribbon. He normally uses an OR style ribbon with a campaign bow. I prefer the 13/16 ribbon. It’s a 3x6 body. I like the style of that era a lot.
Thanks Alan!

I think the slightly wider ribbon changes the entire look. I really dig it.
Beautiful hat, Jack. The more mid-ribbon and the shallow flanged brim are great choices.
