Optimo "Natural"
Great looking hat Nathan. The ?¢‚Ǩ?ìManhattan?¢‚Ǩ? style is really slick. And you beat me to the nutria color, you crumb (just kidding)! The nutria color was put on my year?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s hat list last August. The hat looks great on you and you should be happy. You?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve got to hand it to Graham... -
Optimo Davenport
That?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s a beauty. Congratulations. Optimo let?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s their hats do the talking once again. May they be around for a long, long time. Cheers -

Big Night on the Lounge for Panama's
This is a great post. The pics are great. This is definitely a good way to go if you want to save some money. The only thing that this method has going against it is that you really need to do your homework. You have to predetermine what style the eventual hat is going to be and order a hat body... -
So many questions....
I'm sure that the head shots are coming soon, Right? -

Beaver 100% Hat Body
There were so many different felt-making processes over the last 200 years, that I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m sure that everybody?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s right in their thinking to some degree. I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve heard that beaver belly fur is hard to beat. What I will add as far as the price of beaver pelts goes is that the top hat... -
Fino Fino Shop
My understanding is that Optimo hats are also sold through a few upscale boutique shops. There is a considerable mark up on these hats as opposed to buying directly from Optimo. The only draw to those boutiques is that they offer colors not available to the average Joe. Cheers -

That picture doesn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t do the hat justice. I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ll probably see Dan next week. I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ll try to get a shot of the hat on his head. Cheers -
Optimo Sky Line
That?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s a tough choice. I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve already ?¢‚Ǩ?ìsnagged?¢‚Ǩ? a Nutria color hat body for a future hat myself. The Cavanaugh Tan is similar to my Morocco Tan so I skipped it, but it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s a nice color, especially if you don?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t already have a tan hat. Optimo?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s heavy... -
Optimo Sky Line
Thanks guys. This is the first heavyweight Optimo that I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve gotten and I have to say that I dig it a lot. It?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s a different animal from their lightweights. What keeps bringing me back to Optimo (besides their great work and materials) is that they offer many styles that you just... -
New Jacket
It depends. The FS A-2 is a conglomerate of original A-2 patterns. The original A-2?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s had a slew of different makers that all made them with slightly different details. All the original contract details are included in the FS A-2. I believe that their G-1?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s are made following an...- Rundquist

New Jacket
I also had an A-2 made out of Russet goatskin. Flight Suites makes high quality stuff at a good price. They?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢re the tops. Cheers- Rundquist

A Smug Moment
The other day it was raining here (I live in Los Angeles like MK) and I stepped out for a bite to eat. As I walked around in the parking lot of the shopping center, I noticed people walking around in shorts and T-shirts. This wasn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t a case of being caught in a downpour, it had started...- Rundquist

A Very Optimo Christmas
It sounds like you had fun. I'm looking forward to seeing the hat. Cheers -

Optimo Sky Line
Here is my Skyline Blue ?¢‚Ǩ?ìMitchum?¢‚Ǩ? Optimo hat along with a few pics of my Phantom Blue for comparison. You?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ll have to excuse the faces; the sun was in my eyes. Cheers PS- Some of you might have noticed that although my Skyline is a Mitchum block, it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s creased... -
Optimo Sky Line
Indoors it almost looks gray. Outdoors it looks dark blue with a hint of Aqua. Phantom blue is a great color, but oddly enough it looks washed out when placed next to the skyline. Just don't place them next to each other :p . I'll post pics of both next to one another on Monday. Cheers
