    Absolutely beautiful, Chamuco. Michael tells me my Whiskey fedora should be finished this weekend...and I'm already trying to figure out what I'm going to have him make for me next.

    Your first hat

    Got my first fur-felt fedora just a few years ago, in 2012: An Epsom model from Christy's. Designed for the racetrack, I still love to wear it when I venture out to Churchill Downs or Keeneland.

    Optimo south side mobsters

    New Optimo Chicago arrived a few days ago. Brownstone with Nicotine ribbon. Original estimated ship date of 6 1/2 weeks turned into 10 1/2; but that's still not too bad. The color is terrific, although I was expecting something MUCH lighter (view Optimo's web site to see what I mean). When I...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Just received my Optimo Chicago a few days ago. Color is Brownstone; ribbon is nicotine.; felt is mid-weight. Estimated shipping date of 6 1/2 weeks actually took 10 1/2. Relatively low crown and 2 1/4" brim; but IMHO, the proportions are killer. Very pleased, even though Brownstone is A LOT...

    Eric: It is through posts such as this that newbies like myself really learn the ins and outs of appreciating fine hats. I always believe in letting a skilled artisan have good deal of leeway in his creation; and I think this example confirms that Mr. Gannon is operating at a high caliber...

    As a matter of fact, I spent several days trying to decide between the whiskey and the dark moss. In the end, I decided just to order one now and one later. And I also love the charcoal... So I'm on the same page as you (I guess in terms of colors as well as quantities).

    I put in an order with Michael last week for a beaver-felt in whiskey. I'm still deciding on the exact style, but it will be a fairly high crown with a 2 1/2" brim. I'll probably just leave the choice of ribbon to him; from what I've seen of his Michael's work in this forum, he has a great eye...

    I think the fedora looks great on you! You should stick with it, as well as the caps.

    Biltmore Golden Pheasant Tyrolean-style fur-felt fedora, size 58

    Not sure if there is an interest in this sort of hat in the FL, but here goes. This emerald green hat has a lush velour finish (green is a bit darker than shown on photos). It is detailed with silk cording, a badger brush, a leather sweatband, and a nice satin lining. Size is marked 7 1/4...
