Ask a question, get an answer
So let me get this right, a tapered crown is a tapered crown, and it will look tapered from both the profile and front view? Basically what happened was this, I bought a Borsalino sometime back, and I really liked how it looked; it had a teardrop crown, so I had an Optimo made in a teardrop... -
Ask a question, get an answer
Hey y'all, I had a question regarding the term "taper" on Fedoras. From this thread here, I've come to the understanding that the crown tapering is defined from the profile view (side ways). If this is a misconception, please correct me. Otherwise, what is a / | \ crown, when viewed from the... -

Oh thank God. I bet God wears Optimo 1000s, that's why Graham ain't raising the price yet. I don't just raise the price on God. -

So, only the "normal" felts are going up for now? I was considering an Optimo 1000 but I can't decide on the style to get. If they're not going up, that's great news. -
Optimo south side mobsters
I have two Borsalinos, both with a tapered crown and I love them. But, Optimo seems to have the better hats, quality wise. Hence, the desire to have a tapered Optimo. -

Optimo south side mobsters
Does Optimo have a style with a tapered crown? I have a pretty narrow jaw, so crowns that look somewhat squarish (front view) don't really fit my face. I need something that isn't too high (which shouldn't be a problem since I can request for a shorter crown), but I more importantly something... -

No, but does anyone know the difference between Optimo's Teardrop and their Rush St crowns? They look kinda similar.. Rush St: http://optimohats.com/#/hats/51/ Teardrop: http://optimohats.com/#/hats/37/ -

No, I know of dimensional brims. I just found it slightly surprising that the front of my brim is under 2 inches when it stated 2 1/4" I thought that 2 1/4 would be the minimum width, rather than median. -
Optimo south side mobsters
So.. if I went with a 2.25" front, my back is going to end up being 2.5" and the sides will be almost 2.75"? Does this apply to their panama and felt hats as well or just the Milans? I'm not sure about that; I'm a round oval and it's wider at the sides too. -

Optimo south side mobsters
I just noticed something somewhat odd with my Optimo: the width of the brim varies around the hat.. in the front it's 1 7/8 or 1 3/4, the back is 2 1/4 (which is correct), and the sides are almost 2.5". This is my first Optimo, so I'm not sure if it's normal. -

I'm shy when it comes to taking photographs. I can never understand how some people can have like thousands of pictures of themselves on Facebook for the world to see. =P No really, I'm terribly unphotogenic. I hardly take any pictures of myself unless I'm with friends, and even then I have to...
