Optimo and Art
The ball is rolling on both sides I just sent the conformer back to Art today. The Optimo is well underway. Graham is making me a Milan "C" crown and I think I'll be going with a lightweight silverbelly from Art. -
Optimo and Art
Please understand that I feel both of these guys are the among the best in the business. I hope I didn't come across as promoting some kind of unspoken rivalry. That was not my intention at all and sorry if it was read that way. Being that Art spends a lot of time informing and... -
Optimo and Art
Hello folks, While I have been a member of this forum for many years, I have relatively few posts. I'm more of a reader than a writer I suppose. But my current situation warented some action. I have been lucky enough to have a hat on order from Graham at Optimo and Art Fawcett at the... -
How should my fedora fit?
When wearing my hat it feels comfortable and would not come off without a good breeze. However, with a little effort, I can stick the end of a pencil on either side inbetween the hat and my head just in front of my ears. I realize that I have somewhat of an oval head shape. The hat does not... -
If money were no object.....
Thanks Not-Bogart. I do like the looks of that color. After looking around here for a while it's easy to see why Art's hats are so admired. -

If money were no object.....
Thanks everyone. I'm in the market for a new hat. I already have the Optimo pictured in my avatar and everything about it is perfect. The style, fit, felt......everything. I'm looking to pick up a summer weight felt in a lighter brown. I'm leaning on going with Art simply because I... -
Revolutionary Road
Liked it I enjoyed this movie. It was a little depressing, but well done. Thomas Newman, as always, provided some great music. The clothing and back drops were well thought out IMHO.- Jazzcat

If money were no object.....
If you could get a modern, newly made felt hat (Fawcett, Optimo, etc.) without the consideration of cost, what would you get and why? Who's considered "top of the line" these days? -
Casual vs. Formal colors?
I was just curious. What colors would you folks recomend for the casual fedora? I live in Florida and have a nice staw for those perfect sunny days. But I don't dare take it out if there's a chance of rain. I'd like to get a light weight fedora to wear with shorts and summer shirts on those... -

Ordered my first fedora......Optimo
After some help from MK, and others, I think I will be much more pleased with my hat. Graham is on vacation until tomorrow, but he was left a note to contact me prior to starting the hat. I'll be sure to post pics when it arrives. It should be shipping at the end of the month. -
Ordered my first fedora......Optimo
First, thanks to everyone on the forum for their responses to my redundant newbie questions. After speaking with Graham (sp?) at Optimo, I went with a Bogie style, 2.25" brim, heavyweight in the Saddle color. After a lengthy conversation, Graham gave me his recomendations on sizing and so... -

What hat are you waiting for today?
Matt, What exactly is considered a high crown? Or medium or low for that matter? I'm only 5'6", but I like the look of the high crown. -
What hat are you waiting for today?
I did catch the thread with the colors and have since spoken with the folks at Optimo. They are sending thier current design catalog and a series of swatches. Very pleasant customer service, as would be expected with their prices. Would you say the 100% beaver is more rugged or rainworthy... -
What hat are you waiting for today?
Thanks guys. I am very new to the fedora market. Not sure what to get yet, but I like the look of the %100 beaver. I'm looking for duability mostly. What is the best material for rain and sun wear? I live in FL and we have a lot of both. I also travel to New England quite a bit during the... -
