    Received my custom Optimo Montecristi with a beautiful chocolate brown brim edge. Graham and Tiffani and the craftspeople do excellent work, not only on the hats but with their customers. They make high quality hats, true, but also employ workers, have a physical as well as online presence...

    Thank you. So glad to hear. When I spoke with him-the few times I did—I was impressed by his gentleness, humility, and good humor. I’m sure he’d not recall me, but I will always remember him..

    That is a beautiful hat. A wonderful color. I have a Milan that Art did for me about six years ago. A work of “Art” so to speak. I know he’s out of the business but wonder how he’s doing.

    Optimo south side mobsters

    As mentioned, I did as I said. Saw Graham who took considerable time working with me. His patience is matched only by his knowledge of our shared appreciation of high quality hats. And he is a gentleman. Talked not only of felts etc but how best to make a C-Crown, how best to store hats and...

    Trip to Italy

    I may be late to the game, but should you not yet have arrived in Rome or are in your way, a very worthwhile visit is to the Borsalino shop on Via Sistina near the Spanish Steps. Not vintage but an excellent selection of very fine Borsalino felts and straws. And your wife might enjoy the...
