Sheet Music
Sorry. It was a cryptic "Simpsons" reference. :D- Rundquist

Sheet Music
Sheet music used to be a big industry back in the old days. Bands would be expected to play the latest music on the hit parade. This was back when popular music was played my real musicians instead of people that can only play 5 notes (like today). Don't get me wrong, some popular bands (like...- Rundquist

name of jacket
Carradine had a semi ?¢‚Ǩ?ìWestern?¢‚Ǩ? look going in that movie. If it was an off the rack item, then a Westen clothing store would be the best place to start. I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢d look on-line first. Cheers- Rundquist

Gary from Buffalo, you're on the air...
Some of Gary?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s hats are advertised as having a ?¢‚Ǩ?ìCavanaugh Edge?¢‚Ǩ? such as this one. http://www.shopniagara.net/custom_hatter/adventurer.html I don?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t think that any felt manufactures make a Cavanaugh Edge hat body anymore. This would indicate that these hats are made... -
Buzz Rickson 1945 nylon B15-B flight jacket
The cloth (gabardine) jacket that I really like is the B-10 which came between the A-2 and the B-15. Nice jacket. Cheers- Rundquist

Optimo nutria natural revisited
Zane go away. It's only a matter of time before you get yourself thrown off this board, so why not stop wasting our time (and yours) and exit with dignity. Have a nice day. :D PS - You could take all the extra time that you would have by not hanging around this board and take a grammar class. -
Optimo nutria natural revisited
Actually the cheap hat in the picture looks more like a Gladhatter special than anything else. :eek: -
New 500X Sterling Beaver
Take it easy killer. :D You're liable to get get yourself thrown off the board like your good buddy. -
Art continues to please
It looks great. It?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s hard to pull off a brim-down porkpie and you do it well. I just got a Loden Green Porkpie from Optimo about a month ago. I haven?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t had time to put any pictures up yet, unfortunately. I really dig it man. A year or two ago, I would never have imagined myself... -
New 500X Sterling Beaver
I haven?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t had the time to be around on the board much lately so even though this is an older post, I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m going to give my opinion. Although this hat looks superficially like a fedora, you can tell that it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s made from a modern ?¢‚Ǩ?ìcowboy?¢‚Ǩ? hat felt. Well what does that... -

yet another Gary White....
Gary makes a good hat and is a gentleman to deal with. Gary has a lot of vintage felt too. That would be the big draw in going to him. Unfortunately you'd really need to visit him in Buffalo to take full advantage of what he's got in the back room. Optimo is a safe bet no matter what. Cheers -
The A-2 review
Keep in mind that Eastman makes many types of A-2's. I've heard that their contract jackets are still good, but their "generic" WW2 type A-2's are really lame. You need to look no further than the Pearl Harbor movie. The A-2's in that movie just didn't look right. Cheers- Rundquist

ROAD TO PERDITION-Tom Hanks Signed Fedora! WOW!
Re: Dave Brown the Hatter? Optimo did something like 80 hats for the movie. They did not do Tom Hanks' hat. Tom has had an ongoing relationship with Dave Brown for years. Optimo has never claimed to have done Tom's hat. They did do the lion's share of hats for the movie though. Cheers -
A MESSAGE FROM KEVIN AT OPTIMO
Kevin wanted me to pass this along to you guys. I know that I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ll miss hearing his voice when I call Optimo to talk about my next hat. MEMO TO: The Fedora Loungers / Indygear guys FROM: Kevin Fitzpatrick Effective 6/2/04 I will no longer have a fulltime, day to day relationship at... -

Post New Hats Here!
My new hat. This is my ?¢‚Ǩ?ìHavana?¢‚Ǩ? styled Montecristi from Optimo Hats. I got it as part of their annual ?¢‚Ǩ?ìFino Club?¢‚Ǩ? Montecristi acquisitions. It?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s the finest Montecristi hat that I own and I got it at a great price (especially considering how fine the detailing is). Enjoy -
Mitchum Block
It?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s like Andykev says, the ?¢‚Ǩ?ìMitchum?¢‚Ǩ? is just a trade name for one of Optimo?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s block types. After the hat is blocked, it still can be creased differently. All three of these hats are Mitchum blocks, but you can see that the Silver one at the bottom is creased differently... -
Dianne Keaton.
I just saw Dianne Keaton as I was leaving the Grove in Los Angeles and she was wearing my hat. Well, not my hat, but one identical. She was wearing an Optimo Mouse colored ?¢‚Ǩ?ìManhattan?¢‚Ǩ?. I know because there?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s no mistaking that color. What a trip. Cheers -
All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette
That hat looks too big for Bruce. You can see space between the sweatband and his head. I think that the costumer failed. This is more in line with the look that I believe that they were trying to achieve. Milan straw is interesting because it still can have a cool look even if the hat... -
Camel
Here?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s my new satin-finish ?¢‚Ǩ?ìMitchem?¢‚Ǩ? blocked, Camel colored Optimo Hat. It?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s got the same block as my Silver satin-finish hat, but is creased like my ?¢‚Ǩ?ìSkyline?¢‚Ǩ? hat (the one in my avitar). Cheers Please excuse the squinting mates. I had the 5 o?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢clock...
