    Optimo south side mobsters

    Max: I have seen it in silverbelly with that ribbon. Is that the 'Bison' color? I am looking forward to seeing the final product.

    Optimo Montecristi Classic Fedora So fine. At $2,500 I am sticking to the beaver furs in the future.

    Optimo south side mobsters

    Hello Doctor, the swatches don't look like the finished product color. That's because they have not been pounced yet. I agree, they look different.

    Optimo south side mobsters

    Here's the lastest addition to my heard of Optimo Beavers. My new go to hat, because the color goes with most clothing. Silverbelly. I ordered it open crown (5") so that I can align the pinch properly over the nose on my, apparently crooked, head. I put a crease in it that has a wider pinch...

    Happy Memorial Day. New Optimo Silverbelly (Beaver). Ordered it open crowned. 2-1/8 underwelt brim. More info and pics in the Optimo thread.

    Borsalino Casual Crusher travel hat. The felt soaked up a lot of water but kept my head dry. The rabbit fur clearly did not perform as good as beaver. No water repellent used. Super soft and comfortable. Great for travel, if you spray it with water repellent.

    Panama Hat Thread

    Charlie: No typo. The box is made of super light weight balsa wood. It will dent easily. Not for travel.

    Considering that it's Roll Up, this hat rolled out pretty good. I never would have guessed.

    Hi Stefan, I keep going back to this hat because of the heather felt. I understand your apprehension regarding the ribbon. It's unique. I have been thinking about it and if it were my hat...., I would choose one, or the other, of the colors of the original hat band. There are two primary colors...

    I like this hat very much. Great Style. I am unfamiliar with this hat. Who makes it? (Sorry, I don't speak German). What does the felt feel like?

    Stefan: Beautiful Borsalino! Good find. Being Borsalino, I know the felt is nice. The trim on this hat rocks.

    Thanks Bill and Steve! I can see why they call this Roll Up box a Coffin Box now. So people use them for Montecristi hats and totally destroy them in my opinion.

    If I was to get stuck in the rain, this would be a great choice. Nice.

    Cleaning spots, stains and soiling from felt hats

    I agree with using fresh water/distilled water to clean the hat. I had an akubra get splashed with whale water (salt and urine) at Sea World. Only the top of the hat got splashed and showed salt water marks once dry. I cleaned it by submerging the hat (top only) in water and gently scrubbing...

    I really liked your first hat, then I knew why once I read it was an Optimo. Very nice.
