    Optimo south side mobsters

    I've received my hats. More pictures (of the others as well), will come later. But for now, I think this is what Tiffani was talking about, because I can't find any other flaw. Opinions?

    I thought as much. I guess we'll know once the hats get here.

    OPTIMO FINE HATS: A Photographic Excursion

    WOW. That hat on the right is gorgeous. What color is it? The trimming looks almost green under this light.

    OPTIMO FINE HATS: A Photographic Excursion

    How long do the trips themselves last? As in, before you make the return trip home. Do you spend a night or two in a hotel or just drive back after going? I can't imagine spending 12hours on a car ride in a single day.

    OPTIMO FINE HATS: A Photographic Excursion

    How many trips did you make? In any case, isn't Minnesota to Chicago quite a distance?

    Optimo south side mobsters

    Hopefully it won't come to that, and based on my previous Optimos -- all superb -- it most probably won't. That said, what's their policy regarding such things? I mean, I can't imagine them (or anyone really) replacing a thousand dollar hat, but at the same time if it could be fixed with a...

    It's on the edge of the brim. How big, I'm not sure, though Tiffani called it "tiny."

    Optimo south side mobsters

    So based on your earlier response regarding vintage 40s/100s and dags, I'm guessing it's an acceptable flaw (at least in your opinion)? As mentioned above, I'll post a few pictures once I receive the hats -- a picture speaks a thousand words and all.

    Optimo south side mobsters

    Yeah, it's an Optimo1000. Generally speaking, I trust Graham not to sell me an inferior or defective product, so I guess we'll have to see how noticeable it is. I'll take pictures on Monday (which is when it's supposed to arrive). Kinda like "pilling" on a polo-tee? In any case, I noticed that...

    So, I have a Silverbelly fedora en route to me, and I received an email from Tiffani saying, "Upon final inspection of your hats, Graham and I noticed a tiny dag in the felt on the edge of your brim. We sent the hat so you could inspect it yourself. Most Silverbelly's have some sort of small...

    Need help in buying a hat that is not uncomfortable for the forehead

    Do what Bono does and wear prescription shades everywhere. People might think you're trying to be funny (or a douche), but if it's really that bad, it's on them for assuming.

    How are your hats sized?

    I just had most of my hair cut as short as possible, and now a bunch of my hats feel half a size loose. I find that hats that "fit" me -- as I'm told by milliners -- feel like they're "pulling up" my eyebrows when worn, so size up. That might be why. Anyway are your hats sized when your...

    Sweet hat. Do their semi-calados cost the same as their regular montecristis? Of the same quality weave, of course.

    Photographs Of Hats Fresh From Surviving The Elements

    Truth be told I don't know why some of them do that; I account for the yarmulke when I'm measuring my head, so my hats fit normally. Most Chabadniks also wear their fedoras normally -- I can only assume that there's a yarmulke underneath as well, but they simply size their hats accordingly...
