The Lounge IS NOT the place to try and sell a narrower brim fedora, as in "Good Day Mr. Bogart" but "Good Night young Mr. Timberlake"! Still, there's a reason Graham named this design "Rush Street" (it's history in Chicago makes for an interesting read; wanna' buy a new Bentley, Bugatti, or Lamborghini? guess where). I too delighted in owning a wider brim "The Mitchum" (as in Robert) from Optimo model earlier in my collecting days. To my very-pleasant-surprise however, this current hipster-hat looks great on me (and when I bought it I was more Santa than Spiderman in physique, having since lost 70 lbs.). Optimo has raised the price on this model half-a-hunny to $750 (and still gets $35 for the hatbox); I honestly believe you'ld be hard-pressed to tell the difference between this Optimo and a new one from Graham. As always, I won't list something I would not purchase for myself. This is indeed one of those items (and at a wife-will-kill-me too cheap price). $260 hatbox /shipping included.
