Exhileration is truly in the wearing!
The good thing about a good hat like Panamabob, Optimo, Fedora and Art Fawcett sells is you are just the opposite of mass produced hats they are made for wearing and will hold up. I have hats from all of them and I wear them daily and nary a problem...
Its my understanding the price will be close to what Fedora charges now for his pure beaver fedora. He is still getting his prices in on the materials. Marc lives in Germany.

Great hat great model!!
Fedoralover,
Your Optimo looks great on you and thanks for posting the pictures. I have never seen a bad looking Optimo hat. I still think they makes one of the best looking Vintage Fedora's. :D
Save my money.
I agree. If I had found this place first I would not have wasted so much money on Stetson , DP and hats like this junk http://i23.ebayimg.com/03/i/00/d6/7f/a5_1.JPG
I would have just bought vintage or custom. Since you can get a custom made hat from $150.00 and up its not...
I wonder how he did that? I know the larger hat sizes take longer to weave so that makes them harder to get. I hope some of the Fedora Lounge members can use them so you won't have to send them back. Good luck!
Mine grew!
When I went into the USMC in 1964 I wore a hat size 6 7/8 now many years later and a loss of head hair I wear a size 7 3/8 plus 1/16. So my head did grow. :)
Now my fellow Fedora Lounge lurkers and posters you soon will have a new hatter in Europe!! Marc is a member here as well as COW. I think this is great news for our friends across the seas. :)
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
After years of reading, learning and practicing, my good friend...

Some info from the net
Stahly Live Blade razor
Another curiosity, but this shaver had a small but significant success in the USA that started with an eye-catching advertising-campaign with subjects on hunting and fishing, with artwork by James M. Sessions. Several Stahly razor models were...
Art Fawcett
Very good post Fedoralover but I think we would be Remiss if we did not mention Art Fawcett in the same vain I know he has helped so many of us here. :cheers1:

In other words would you buy a great hat that is somewhat outside of your style preference? Or do you pass on it and just look for your style?
If the hat doesn't meet my style preference I won't buy it since I won't wear it. I buy a hat to look better in. I look for quality...

Heck, we'd sell a hat like this on ebay for about $64.00 and many of you who took advantage of or infamous special prices at the beginning of the year got similar hats. The blocking is quite nice, too. If you look under the band you can see broken paja.
Well at least you didn't pay...
