Fancy Ribbons and Vintage Hats
Appreciate the kind words, Dennis, but I'm afraid I can't take credit for that fine hat, which was originally posted by tonyB earlier in the thread, on page 2. In responding to the thread with quotes I accidentally deleted the and so it may have appeared that I posted both photos. I have... -

Beautiful lid, cookie, love the color. It appears that the crease was a stylistic carryover on straws other than true Optimos. -

Panama Hat Thread
Thanks for the feedback, gents. The hat belonged to the father of an acquaintance in our town, who had impeccable taste, and was fastidious in every aspect of his life. I am still trying to identify the style of the hat. The center crease made me wonder whether the hat was intended to... -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Appreciate the kind words, gents. So many of Art's colors are appealing it really is difficult to decide....IF you reconcile to only having one! I like the whiskey as well as the pecan. Fantastic, rich, complex colors that you can't go wrong with. -

My vintage Stetson Montecristi: A warm patina after decades of sitting in a box. The golden-yellow color exaggerated by the morning sunlight and the ambient interior light. Close-up of the crown. Interior detail. Note crown stamp and pencil markings. The original box. -

Better Pics Of Granite Satin Finish At the risk of redundancy, I am posting some additional photos of my granite satin finish VS fedora to hopefully contribute to the wealth of excellent reference photos on this thread. My hat stylistically incorporates elements of Art's Sportaire and pays... -

Wonderful hats, Lando. If I may ask, could you compare black cherry to oxblood with regards to the amount of red under different lighting conditions? From Art's color swatches, and searching this thread the two appear very close, with black cherry a shade darker than oxblood. -
Optimo south side mobsters
Appreciate the kind words, Lexybeast. Graham's Milans really are beautiful. Having grown up in Orange County myself I remember well those 90 degree October days! Hey, at least you still have a shot at wearing those straws there. No chance here in Minnesota now until late Spring... -

Optimo south side mobsters
My bad! Meant 2-1/2" but typed 1-1/2". Should have proofread my post before submitting. -
Optimo south side mobsters
The ribbon is 1-1/2", graphite gray. It looks lighter in hand, and does not have as much blue as it appears in my photo. Crown is 4-1/2" at the front tapering to 3-3/4" at the back, with a 2-1/2" brim. Graham's C-Crown. I will try to capture the ribbon color more accurately and post... -

Only when she catches me looking at myself walking past a mirror. In all seriousness I think my wife appreciates a fine hat as much as I do! -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Thanks, DRB. Indeed, 3700+ posts(in this thread and others) worth of due diligence! The photos and feedback were invaluable, and ultimately Art's input finalized my decision. I must say that I am a bit surprised at the paucity of satin finish hats out there, as Art does an amazing satin...
