Where's my Hat... ? in Upstate NY!
Javier, that is a no-nonsense, sign-right-here hat. Looking sharp!

Thanks, :D it does feel good to wear it... (although the crown is not as tall it reminds me a little of Bruce Willis in Last man Standing)

I need to send it to get cleaned, in early '12 (any good reasonable cleaners you recommend)?

That a great look, very Madison Avenue. :eusa_clap

As far as getting it cleaned, you could check out the restoration services provided by Optimo, Falcon Park Hattery, John Penman... these are a few, and there are a good number more but I can't seem to think of them right this minute...

David your Optimo is fabulous. It's the first one I've seen with a higher crown and wide brim. Was that a custom order or one of their standard models? Great look with the black leather jacket-

Thanks guys, I wasn't the original owner of this Optimo, but it is a great quality hat and I really like it.

Javier, yes I have had some work done at Optimo. I recently bought a Borsalino hat from Aureliano and Optimo rebuilt it - clean and block, new sweatband, new liner and new ribbon. Optimo did a fantastic job, it's like having a brand new hat with with beautiful Borsalino velour felt. Optimo charged $120 (including shipping for the complete job.

Here's the hat on Veronica the Mannequin - it's my wife's hat now.

Thanks Mike. Nice to see your VS today. Art's hats are always a good choice.

I decided to wear my Stratoliner this morning.
