I need a history lesson.
Does any one know the history of Graham Thompson BEFORE Optimo hats?
I recently won an auction for a "Optimo" hat that for some reasons didn't strike me as the genuine article. For starters it's not as good a fit as my other Optimos. But what really got me was th sweat looked a little more crude then my others.
Then i noticed the Box..... Ghram Thompson - Bigsby & Kruthers.
Could this be a pre-Optimo Optimo? Are Optimos sold locally in other menswear shops in the Chicago area?
For those curious I do plan to keep the hat. I'll send it in for a Sizing and blocking.
