No, sorry, I didn't see any hats in the new colors for this year. The oxblood went on my head first and then again after every felt hat I tried on. It was the color I kept coming back to again and again.

The thunder gray is the one they are showing on their home page, is it not? It really is a great gray and it looks super with the gray ribbon they're showing with it.

As some of you may have seen I picked up this Optimo on EBAY today.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290363865953&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

The logo on the box and liner are very different than the steel grey I recently bought from Bruce Wayne. Any ideas on how old this hat might be? Anyone else have an Optimo with this logo?

Wow, what a great price! I'm glad I didn't see that auction. It's my size.

I hope you'll share pics when it arrives.

Hmmmmm

Are you sure it's an Optimo as in Graham Thomson Optimo? Doesn't look like any I've ever seen.

Kevin's Optimo?

Kevin's Optimo?

Could well be. I'll let you know when I get it. Either way, it looks like a good deal and a nice hat. Anyone familiar with this "Optimo?"

 

[Jabos]

What a beauty RLK...wonderful.

I notice the new felt colors are now on the first page under felts.

How lucky you are to live so close...

So, it seems Optimo is going to continue to carry the oxblood in 2010.

I emailed Graham about this hat and here's his response:

Hello,
Yes, this is a very early Optimo (from first year in business)...
We can renovate the hat here and get it looking decent for you.
Best
Graham

So I guess its a "vintage" Optimo. Hopefully I'll receive it today.
