    Ladies' Red Hat Society 1993 O'Farrell 100% Beaver Ribboned Derby 21 5/8

    I purchased this for my wife a year or so ago and she does not wear it, so I just tonight decided to see if anyone on The Lounge might be interested in a red ladies' dress hat. I'm getting help later tonight posting some photos of another hat that I sold earlier, and will post photos of this hat...

    Optimo Raven Black Melusine Fedora 7 3/8 Like New ... Never Say "Never" SOLD

    Thank you for your interest in my Optimo Raven Black Melusine Fedora: it sold earlier in the evening. I do have one more Optimo that I'll be putting up for sale which I bought as-new and then sent off to Chicago to have Graham rebuild to my specifications (to the tune of $170). The Fedora Lounge...

    Optimo Raven Black Melusine Fedora 7 3/8 Like New ... Never Say "Never"

    Visiting Graham Thompson's Optimo Chicago webpage: HATMAKING heading, OUR FELT: play video. Graham immediately begins explaining about his ten-year quest to recreate the world's finest long-hair beaver felt. In the video the hat that he is holding and showing is pretty much exactly what I own, a...

    For Sale: Pristine Wine Colored Art Fawcett Fedora Size 7 3/8 Make Offer

    Rarely worn, selling to help finance a new hobby. I am a collector, particular in what I purchase and meticulous in each hat's care (as new Optimo hatbox $35 value included). This was one of Art's prototypes where he added a black underbrim material to the otherwise wine colored fedora. There...

    For Sale: As New Optimo Rush Street Fedora Size 7 3/8- Sale Price $260

    The Lounge IS NOT the place to try and sell a narrower brim fedora, as in "Good Day Mr. Bogart" but "Good Night young Mr. Timberlake"! Still, there's a reason Graham named this design "Rush Street" (it's history in Chicago makes for an interesting read; wanna' buy a new Bentley, Bugatti, or...

    For Sale: Art Fawcett 7 3/8 Wine Colored Fedora Beautiful Condition $210

    On the wine-colored Art Fawcett fedora: 5 1/4" crown height and 2 1/4" brim width. The flecked finish Optimo looks just as Graham wanted it to look ( more hipster than Edward G. Robinson ): 4 1/2" crown height and 2 1/8 " brim width. The latter fedora surprised me as I come from a background of...

    For Sale: Art Fawcett 7 3/8 Wine Colored Fedora Beautiful Condition $210

    Thanks Bowen. I have a decidedly small but high quality collection of about a dozen hats including a Montecristi Custom Hat Works Panama ($1200 new), a Melusine (long hair beaver) Optimo ($800 new), the "Italians": Borsalino, Panizza, and a couple of made-in-Italy Stetson boaters, three...

    For Sale: Optimo "Rush street" Fedora Size 7 3/8 Pristine Condition $275

    Thanks. And, I misquoted the "exactly half-price" quote. $275 w/Hatbox and shipping included is WAY LESS than Optimo's $750 w/o Hatbox ($35) and shipping. The longer this goes without selling the more tempted I am to just keep it. It shows very nicely, just like an as-new Optimo should!

    For Sale: Art Fawcett 7 3/8 Wine Colored Fedora Beautiful Condition $210

    Purchased new by me and rarely worn ( I have an Optimo Melusine in a similar color that I prefer ). This was one of Art's limited edition prototypes: the underbrim is a black color and of a different material which shows several small bubbles... which do not affect the look of the hat... when...
