I need help Justin

A power over took me and I ordered another hat from Optimo Hat Co. my favorite hat company in Chicago. I had to have a real Milan Straw.

I blame Zohar he posted a picture of his Optimo Milan he owns from them and I lost days of sleep thinking about this beauty.

I called all over the United States and the Honest Hatters said Optimo is the only hatter that sells the real Milan straw in the USA. The rest is all paper/rice paper crap.Thats contrery to what the POS said.

I think I need more than one meeting a week. Please help me. ;)
Regards,

Sharpey :cry:

Oh, Sharpetoys, you really do have a bad habit.

At least my falling off the wagon was cheaper: I just bought the best newsboy cap I have ever had (better than my two J. Peterman caps) -- a bone herringbone cap with a leather liner. It fits like a dream.

If you blame Zohar for your demise, I have to lay mine at your feet. If I recall correctly, you posted the B!Wear website and told us how easy it was to work with Brett.

So, I'm off the wagon, too, although with a cheaper kind of hat hooch.

However, Brett sent me some swatches, so.....

Aw, brother Sharpe. :cry: You had to go buy another hat. ;) I thought we discussed this. When you want to buy something, you were to first visit the GH site for ten minutes. :p Did you forget to do that first---again? ;)

Regards to all,

J

I did and I got angry and called Optimo to show my support for them!! :cry:

Oh, Yoik! This is akin to having the DT's. Pink elephants? No, hideously abused hats!

I thought the hat itself had potential but you couldn't pay me to wear that brim; well, maybe you could pay me, but it would be a heck of a lot of $$.

I wonder why she took it off ebay?

Sharpetoys, yes, I could be your sponsor, but I am in as bad a shape as you are. See: http://mariposa.yosemite.net/bwear/

It is the #3 cap, bone herringbone, and I am wearing it as I write this.Tonight I will be ordering another one.

Hopeless, hopeless...

Yes, we are out of control!!

The #16 is cool, I like it. I wonder if he would make one in a faded demin....

Brett sent me swatches for the black and white herringbone, a new gray herringbone and a black and white tweed. I already have the #3 herringbone cap, so am going to order the #2 black and white tweed.

This is going to be the beginning of a long and beautiful cap quest....
