Glad you revived it Matt, GREAT looking hat! Love the color.:eusa_clap

Two different hats actually. One has a lighter bound edge... this one a darker.

One feather weight and one medium. Both Optimo.

:eusa_clap I like the little smirk you're sporting there, champ. Pretty dame
The hat's nice, too. It looks very Whippet-esque, especially with the bound brim.
How's it compare to your gray Optimo?

 

[DOUGLAS]

That is a great looking hat Matt. It has wonderful hue. I have always been leary of wearing brown and gray together however your combination comes together well.

Nice!

Wow, very nice hats, Matt. I long for the day when I can own TWO Optimos period, let alone of the same color.

Are they both completely custom, or is there a model name? I visit the website frequently, and click away.

I too was pleasantly surprised at the very sharp look of the brown hat with grey. Very sharp indeed!

Best,
Robert

Both are custom... in fact,

The ribbon from the first hat posted (with the light bound edge) was taken off and placed on the later made heavier weight higher crowned Tobacco with the darker bound edge that's seen in the pic above with my friend.

I also removed the bound edge on the first one (I don't need two bound edge tobacco Optimos) and had them replace the crown ribbon with their Indy ribbon making it into my light weight indy hat, though no dimensional brim... I'm not really a fan of dimensional brims.

So to make it clear
Hat 1 light weight and modified from original pics at beginning of thread

Hat 2 medium weight
