I recognize those hats! They belonged to the late Alex Conley III.There shouldn't be an issue with asking this question. I do have an example and is neither from Optimo nor Black Sheep. This example is from a hatter who has sadly passed away so can't really ask him directly.

An amazing gentleman. Great pleasure meeting Alex and having him make me a hat. I had hoped to have him make me a long hair fedora.
