Very, very nice, metropd. :eusa_clap I really like the color of that gray. How did you decide on a beaver/nutria blend? Is it something that Optimo offers as one of their felts?

Great lid -- Congrats!!! :eusa_clap

Cheers,

Very impressed, Metropd. The hat seems fabulous, the blend of beaver and nutria must be one of the best available. Congratulations on your taste in dress, too.

Yes, it is beatiful hat. On the other hand - 518$? You could buy an entire african village for it

 

[Viper Man]

:eusa_clap Excellent hat, metropd. You wear it well, pal.

Please tell us about the nutria/beaver blend. I knew that Optimo used nutria, and have been curious about it.

 

[Tomasso]

Yes, it is beautiful hat. On the other hand - 518$?

When you consider that the top bespoke tailors charge over $5k for a suit and the top shoemakers charge over $3k for a pair of shoes, Optimo's prices seem like a bargain. I hope Graham doesn't read this

I´ll buy a pickaxe for my last money and will try to find some oil in my backyard. And then...
And for the prices - I think it´s logical that a hat is cheaper than eg. shoes or suit. All in all, it´s just an accessory...

 

[Aerol]

Good choice

I hope you enjoy your Optimo as much as I've enjoyed mine. I have the Manhattan style in grey, and I, too, dress it down. It's a great hat and has been rained on and snowed on without any problems. The beaver/nutria blend is tops in my book.

 

[metropd]

The beaver-nutria blend is very pliable and soft but mantains whatever shape you put in it. Graham did a wonderful job.

 

[metropd]

This is bespoke hat, which uses skilled labour, alot of time and personal effort, and quality materials. Not to mention how many hats they are turning out a day and paying their employees. A hat around $500 for all these things is a bargain.


Thank you for everyone's wonderful compliments.

 

[undertaker]

Very Nice Indeed!!


Also glad to see I'm not the only one to wear black wingtip shoes with jeans. My wife has been giving me a hard time about that for years.[huh]

Regards,
James

I'd love to see a side by side group shot of your various custom hats, metro.

To think we have to defend Optimo.

All in all a hat is..... just an accessory...

Have you even a clue where you're posting?

I think it´s logical that a hat is cheaper than eg. shoes or suit....

Actually, back in the day hats and shoes were comparably priced

I´ll buy a pickaxe..... to find some oil in my backyard....

Save your back, get a drill.
