Today I received an email from David at www.garrisonhatters.com, saying that my fedora had been shipped on Saturday*squeal*...low and behold an hour after getting the email it was at my door!
This is the hat box that was inside the shipping box. I'll be holding onto this for any shipping storage that may come up. It also has David's label in the corner.
Here it is upon opening, crown down with "fresh hat smell" filling my nostrils
Here it is after the first attempt to put the looser pinch in it. I'm afraid to put too much on it but in some ToD shots it appears to have a tighter pinch...I'll probably pick a scene and then sit down and work for that. With and without flash.
side shot
Here it is next to my Todd's Raiders "Downtowner" for comparison. Garrison on the left and the Todd's on the right.
I tried to get them side by side but don't be fooled the Todd's really is a bit bigger than the Garrison but not as bad as it looks in the pic. The Downtowner is pretty stiff so I tried to push it down flat to better show the height difference.
The ToD was a little snug when I first put it on but I've been wearing it for a couple hours now and it feels great, def ain't coming off in this Oklahoma wind lol. I believe it felt more snug at first because my melon is a bit more oval shaped. The Garrison is very nice and soft compared to my Todd's and feels a lot lighter on the head. It is also more proportionate to my head than Todd's but considering one is mass produced and one is completely custom, it makes sense. Overall, I LOVE this hat and will probably get a Streets of Cairo from David in the future.
Thank you David for making my hat and Thank you Mr. Fusion for pointing the way!!
