Optimo south side mobsters

[danofarlington]

At long last, I have some pics to post! Here is a lid some of you may recognize, having migrated from Bruce Wayne's stable to mine. I am pleased to report it is a great hat, and I can now understand why everyone is so excited about getting an Optimo.

I couldn't ever wear that hat, but you can do it! It looks good. I like that different styles proliferate.

Since it is out in theatres soon, I would like to add that Optimo made Freddy Krueger's hat.

Optimo launches their newsletter..."From the hatters bench"...

That's a pretty slick newsletter and has at least one Lounger in it.

Very nice!

Bow seem familiar? Was not expecting this...

Graham does an Art! Amazing. Now I'm sad I passed up the one in my size that was up in the Classifieds. What's the pricing on the Milans, same as the felts?

That sure does look familiar.
I love the "body" that Optimo gives to its bows. They're just puffy enough to be elegant, without being ostentatious. My Optimo milan is my favorite hat, hands down.

Nice, D-guy! I'm getting the itch for another Optimo, and it's going to be getting too hot here for felts. A milan may satisfy my craving enough to get me through the summer.

What color is your ribbon?

Wow....:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap Oh man, I love a wide-brimmed pork pie, but it's just so rare to see them. That looks similar to my gray Biltmore pork pie with its wider-than-usual-for-a-pork-pie 2 1/8" brim, but yours is much nicer, of course.

What color is your ribbon?

Deep burgundy Sir

What's the pricing on the Milans, same as the felts?

$395 I believe Sir

 

[Lefty]

Well, I asked for a box ribbon, so you can imagine how I feel...I am a purist, so prefer my Arts to be Art`s...

It's not a recent thing, so I don't know if either can lay claim to the design. Mine has the same thing.

Perhaps this is old news to you all, but I've not been following it. I was just told by Optimo they have a limited run of oxblood felts and they are taking preorders for $100.00. The hats will be ready in September. I suspected they wouldn't get rid of a sure money maker.

The Third "limited" run...!!??

Optimo is also going to have three or four different colours for the 1000 this next season.
