I'll be in Chicago late next week and am planning the pilgrimage to Optimo. From what I've read here for over a year now, Graham makes great hats, but his felt hats are nearly indistinguishable in quality from those made by Art. For the price difference, I'll stick with Art for felts.
However, I was thinking of getting another straw. I've got a Panama from Bob, and think that I'd like to pick up a Milan for that honey brown color. I'd love to get something up while I'm at Optimo, so this would be just the thing.
Searching through the threads, I can't find anyone who owns an Optimo Milan, though Bob has recommended them (for Milans) in a couple of threads.
Does anyone have an Optimo Milan?
What do you think?
What do they go for?
Thanks.
