    Optimo south side mobsters

    Finally, the color i picked for my first Optimo fedora, oxblood. It's the one I kept coming back to. I really liked the Platinum, and that may be my second Optimo, but the Oxblood is a beautiful color, and that deep burgundy ribbon makes it. Mine will be here around the second week of November...

    Optimo south side mobsters

    Kevin showed us any hat we were interested in and even unboxed a hat that was made for a client for us to see and for me to try on. I tried on any hat I asked about, and even Kim tried a few. A couple of Optimo crown panamas. I didn't use to like this crown, but it's really growing on me...

    Optimo south side mobsters

    Kim and I spent last weekend in Chicago. One of our objectives was to make a pilgrimage to the mecca of hat wearers, which we accomplished soon after we arrived at our hotel. At Optimo, we met Kevin who could not have been more accommodating. Graham and Tiffany were away at a trunk show in...

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Man, I could use a deal like that! Where I live there are only two or three cigars shops that I know of and they usually don't have much of anything worth buying. We're in Chicago this weekend, and I intended to find Jack Schwartz. Time ran out before I could get that done today, and they're...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I started the day wearing my blue/gray or gray/blue Strat, but ended it with no hat. Sorry, no pics. I left my camera cable at home. We're in Chicago for the weekend and made the pilgrimage to Optimo today. I left my Strat there for a clean and block and thought I was going to walk out with a...

    We're in Chicago for the weekend, and we made the pilgrimage to Optimo this afternoon. IC predicted what would come of it, and he predicted absolutely correctly. In about six weeks or so, there will be an oxblood Optimo arriving at our house. I'll have pics of the adventure when I get home, but...

    Thanks, Sue. There does seem to be an abundance of late. I really should try to contain my desire, but those Strats and Whippets wear so well. [huh]

    Another Strat arrived at our house today, or more aptly, it arrived at my parents' house. I had it sent there because I thought it might come while we were cruising.

    Today's hat has been a Borsalino. Had an interesting experience while we were out buying a new suitcase to replace the one the airline destroyed for us this time. It's pretty windy, and as I was carrying the new suitcase and a bag in the other hand, my hat went sailing across the parking lot...

    This one should definitely be in a frame at your house, Gene. Great picture of the two of you. Kim and I really enjoyed spending some time with you and Nicki, and the dinner at Palo was to die for.
