Jeff, I like that milan on you!

AL, the color of that new Optimo is so unusual... absolutely fabulous hat. Just watch the cookies, OK?

I look forward to seeing more pictures, especially the Wheels of Italy ones.

That hat is AWESOME Al, plain and simply said. Now can I have a cookie? lol

So glad you are the owner of that hat, Al! I'll reiterate that it looks like it was made for you.

Thanks, Alan! The natural, undyed beaver belly color is a difficult to characterize, warm silver. Because the silver has just a hint of tan, it should be extremely versatile, and the feel in hand is something else...

I just HAD to wolf down the first cookie in one bite, and Lydia just HAD to take a picture of me doing so. lol

I look forward to seeing more pictures, especially the Wheels of Italy ones.

I will get to work on them tonight!

Thank you, my cookie-craving friend! lol

Many thanks for your kind words, Jeff, I appreciate them very much! That lid already feels like an old friend.

Could actually wear felt today.

 

[hatophile]

Super hat, Steve, I love the proportions on that one.

 

[T Rick]

Envious of the Strats worn a day or two ago, I needed to break mine out. Plus, I've finally treated the sweatband a few times with Lexol, it's getting more supple. This from the mid 50's as far as I can tell.

TRick; Good Strat day in MI today. The Strat proportions are complimentary on you. The Ray Ban glasses are not to shabby either.

Best Eric -

Great hats in the thread today...

Al: The Silverbelly Optimo is a wonderful hat and that felt must be pretty much unique.

mayserwegener: Cooler days are a treat - I really like that Ernst Köln.

T Rick: Strat Envy, eh? Yours is a good looking example.

EASports: looking cool in the PO!

I agree with SBG... excellent dimensions on that Stratoliner - very nice!

Fluourescent start to the work week with my Borsalino featherweight... the lightest felt in my stable of hats.

I learned about Lexol here in the Lounge a few years ago. I've tried it on a couple sweatbands but don't think much of it. I have come to prefer using a touch of pure shea butter. Shea butter is the active ingredient in many top-shelf skin-care products. It's non-toxic and, in my view, more effective at conditioning and softening sweatbands.

PS - nice hats alanfgag and T Rick.
