About time to drop in here, and Borsas seem to be ruling the day. So…

All my years in Ft Worth, I never bought a hat at Peters Bros and never owned a Shady Oaks. Nice hat
Thanks. If you haven’t seen it you might be interested in this thread.

Ive actually been to the site where Amon Carters Shady Oaks mansion was before it burned (Across the lake from Carswell Air Force/ Joint Reserve base). Sad to think so many notable peoples hats burned up in that fire. It was always a cool story that he regularly traded hats with visitors. Always wondered just how many spare Shady Oaks Hats went up in flames in the back room lol.

Optimo 60cm with a 2.75” brim. It’s growing on me. :)

It’s just a hair loose. I’m thinking of having it reblocked down to 59.5cm; possibly trim the brim down a bit.

Apparently I’m smack dab between sizes, and sort of midway between “normal” and long oval.

I have to go out to Chicago this summer. I may stop by the Optimo shop to have my head examined and then we shall see. :)
