Optimo south side mobsters
I stopped in at Optimo today to have some work done. All I can say is that the name Optimo is not a misnomer. IMO They had a hat in there in a color from a couple of years ago called "mink". WOW If they had a body still it would have my name on it. Anybody have any pics of hats in... -

Falcon Park Hattery
Thanks for the info Blackjack. That just sealed the deal for me. I was considering another Optimo, but for almost 2/3's less with quality I'll take a chance and throw some business his way. Don't get me wrong the Optimo is a fine hat, probably the best hat of my small collection IMO, but... -

I want to add some curl to the back brim of a Milan I have. Can I just wet the brim and the use some type of form of the desired shape, secure the brim to the form and let it dry or do I need to apply some type of stiffener? Thanks Wojo -
The Long Oval Unfortunate's Club
Optimo put me in my first hat. 8 1/32 in a LO. Tiffany said that they have many customers at or near a size 8. She also said that they were unable to fit a customer whose size was nearing a nine. God bless his mother! As long as you have a patient wife and the kids don't mind you burning... -

I am also cranially endowed with a size 8. The owner of Hats Plus in Chicago is also cursed/blessed with a large head and tends to keep a decent selection of modern lids in our size. Do you guys also have trouble finding glasses that fit? Most glasses tend to look like pince-nez on me. Wojo -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Here are some pics of my VS, a Sammy D in blue smoke with a 2.5" brim. I was debating btwnthe blue smoke and pecan. Pecan may be nice but this blue smoke is beautiful. The wife even likes it. Sorry about the image quality. -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Just received my VS Sammy D. I was debating btwn Blue Smoke and Pecan. Chose the Blue Smoke and glad I did. WOW what a great color. Art said he hurt his hand and wasn't able to work for a few days. He should consider insuring his hands like Betty Grable did those gams! Wojo -

If you have a straw professionally re-blocked will there be some "telltale" marks of the old style that come through. -

I have been through ALL the posts on Art's Hall of Fame. Problem is, I can't remember seeing many I didn't like. I think I will have to go to Plan B, a coin toss. Or Plan C, one of each. Don't think I would go wrong either way. This hat thing could be bad for a person with a bit of a...
