Navy Blue Optimo - Thank you fedoralover!

[vonwotan]

Thanks to fedoralover I now have my new Optimo 'Manhattan' in navy blue and I'm thrilled!!!

No photos yet, I've only just returned from our condo assoc. meeting and opened the box.

The hat is a beautiful deep navy with a bound edge (1/4"), roughly two inch brim and five inch crown and 1 1/2" navy ribbon. For lil' ol' me, great proportions for my more casual coats but elegant enough for a nice topcoat.

I'm glad you got it okay. But a hat ain't a hat until it's sitting on a head, let's see a shot of you in it outside where the light will show the real color.

Very nice hat! Do try to get some more photos in the sunlight wearing it if you get a chance.

Here is a pic of it that shows the color better, it's still a darker blue in real life.

It looks even better in the light!

Fedoralover's photo gets closer to the color than mine. I am having a heck of a time trying to get a clear shot and keep the very deep navy color while still showing the details... At least these two are clear.

By the way - nobody tell Art that's a Jazzman proping up the new Optimo.



Edit - does anybody know why some photos show up in a post while others show up as links? I add them by copying the URL from flickr, click the insert photo button and paste...
