I am offering this very seldom worn fedora by Art Fawcett. The size is 7 1/8 and it is in a featherweight felt. I believe the color to be Sahara and it comes with the original mint hat box. I received the hat in March 2009 and just never wear it. Asking $225, which includes shipping and...
Anybody a Boston Bruins fan? This retro themed game was on NBC this afternoon and all of Boston"s coaching staff was wearing stingy brimmed fedoras. Very hip! and a great game too!
Every time I hit a major milestone in life, I try to mark it with a hat. When my son was born, I had a hat made with his initials stamped into the sweatband. I did the same when my daughter was born. Recently, I got promoted to the position of Captain at the fire department I work for...
Without a doubt, the Fedora Lounge is the single best source for all things fedora in modern life. Regular people with regular lives who just dig hats. This forum provides plenty of encouragement for the new hat wearer and also helps others validate what they already know. You just cant beat...
No problems with Graham
I'm confident that if I asked Graham about the dimensions he would be eager to please. This is my second Optimo and their customer service is top notch. I think the hat suits me well now that I have it. But again, if I were to ask him to correct any problems, he would...

The Optimo Arrived
My Optimo Milian finally arrived. It's light as a feather and the ultimate summer hat. Communication is a little tougher with Graham. He forgot to add my initials in the sweatband and the brim turned out just a little smaller than we last discussed. The hat itself is...
I actually am in the same situation as you Dumbjaw. I spoke with Art and emailed a few FL members for input. I ended up going with a lightweight "trackside" in Sahara, a 2.5" raw brim with a 12 ligne ribbon. I live in Florida and like you, this hat will be my workhorse fedora for most of the...
I just spoke with Graham amd Art. The Optimo is on the way via UPS ground and I finalized some details with Art.
The Optimo is a Milan C crown and should be here in the next few days.
The VS will be a Trackside in Sahara with a 12 ligne ribbon, color yet to be decided.
I'll post...
The Optimo will be milan straw. If the hats reflect the customer service, they're sure to be superior.
For the milan, I went with a 1" grey steel color similar to the one on Optimo's web page picture of the milan "c" crown.
As for Art, I really want to go with something casual for the...
