This is the third Optimo I’ve bought from this seller so I’m sure it will be fine, I just hope it fits…might be the perfect excuse for a Mexico vacation to meet Ignacio and Max @drmaxtejeda My wife might start encouraging me to buy more hats if there’s a trip to Mexico included.
That looks like fun. I see these pleated liners on hats from east Germany quite often.
Yes, instantly!Why not?
Just when you decide you don't need anymore black Bowlers in not your size, these interesting finds turn up.

Thanks Randy.Never say never!
Another great bowler, Steve.
Very interesting indeed, Stefan.
Thanks, Steve. The homburg is a no-brainer. Curious about the "centurion"; never handled one like that before.Very interesting indeed, Stefan.
Be interesting to see the outcome once they arrive. Looking forward to hearing your judgement.Thanks, Steve. The homburg is a no-brainer. Curious about the "centurion"; never handled one like that before.
Serious "heathering" going on.
Nice.Sticking with the obscure and seldom seen, this one is a Triumph by Champ. Seller says it was in a box with a model name of "Penthouse" and labeled "Roman Green" - however seller also says he sees the color as a chocolate brown, so... box doesn't match, or another color-shifter. I already have one Champ with an undefinable color. This one doesn't say "feel the felt" but (continued below) View attachment 469370 View attachment 469371 View attachment 469372 View attachment 469373 "felted with Genuine Beaver." Does that mean they kept a beaver in the room while they made the hat out of gerbil fur?
Super Sonic Edge? I'll be busting the sound barrier everywhere I go!
VERY nice!! I hope it fits like a glove. What size do you wear?'Bout time ...

It is from the later period and has a couple of spots and one moth nip that I can see.

But it's supposed to be my size and, although it went past the $25 to $45 estimate, it was still half-price.
