Optimo south side mobsters
Makes me even happier I got one when I did. I really thought I wasn't going to like the color, but when I saw it that all changed immediately. The first one they showed me was one that one of the ladies was sewing a sweatband in. It had a 9 ligne brim binding, and I kept going back to look at... -

That's an interesting comment. Is that because the bodies are smaller than usual and can't be stretched over a larger size block? -
Optimo south side mobsters
Well, no I didn't. But there were so many hats there it was hard to take them all in. -

I bet the gentleman who's buying it will have something to wear with it and look very nice in it. -

Optimo south side mobsters
Absolutely correct, HP. Maybe they did. They didn't say how many they had sold, just that for a while it seemed they were only making oxblood hats. I tried on a brown hat with an orange ribbon there that was being made for a gentleman, I believe if my memory serves me, who had bought in the... -

They didn't say anything at all about being low on oxblood, but they did say for a while that seemed to be all they were making. I'm surprised by that. I talked to Tiffany in July or August about a Dillinger hat, and she said they wouldn't be getting the oxblood in until Sept. I would have... -

I don't know about the blue, but I did try on a seafoam green. I wasn't as taken by that color though. -

You see in the pic of me how it goes with blues. I was wearing a blue shirt and navy blazer that day. You can't see in that pic, but my pants were khaki. I think the oxblood will look great with almost any color...blues, grays, blacks, khaki, brown and probably even green. I'll be sure and post... -

I can't believe you didn't call to let us know! :eek: Looking good in those Panamas. I shot an e-mail to Art today to see if he has something that will work for me. -

Truthfully, I don't know which of the colors I saw were new and which weren't. I know the platinum that I liked was an old color because Kevin said they only had a few of those bodies left. Also, I'm pretty sure most of the hats I tried were 2009 colors. -

So true, so true, but in addition to the oxblood Optimo, I was compelled to buy a purse and matching wallet at the Coach store, not for me you understand. I really can't yield to this temptation (right away). -
Optimo south side mobsters
How well I understand, Neil. The temptation is very real. There were four hats that I could have easily brought home with me had they been ready in my size. The oxblood, the platinum, an optimo crown montecristi and a milan. They were all exceptional. I was further tempted by the fact that the... -

Comes from island hopping then returning to the climate of the windy city. Some of us don't get to return from the islands to a nice, sunny home climate with palm trees. :rolleyes: Now, I've been trying to catch a cold for the last couple of days. :rage: Two Optimo hats at once would have... -

Kevin did not use the tool that looks like a torture device to measure my head. Instead he measured the hat I wore in which we both agreed fit me very well. Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of their hat measuring tool, but it was obviously antique and quite elaborate. I commented to Kevin...
