Sorry, my camera also stopped working. Will try to post some pics soon.
I have 3 Optimos and another two made by others. The others are good and a good value, but the Optimos are flawless. IMHO
BTW that silver gray is gorgeous.

Fantastic! You make me think about another lid, and it's been a while since we spent a weekend in Chicago.

Silver gray 100% beaver. Crown block # 5, teardrop crease. Brim 2 1/2 raw edge. Pleated ribbon1 3/4 inches (Amazing work, you can't see one single stitch)
Early birthday present, designed by myself and for myself ;) Superb quality, as always. These hats never disappoint, on the contrary, it seems as if every time Graham and his team try to undo themselves.

Ale, excuse me while I fall off my chair.
What a gorgeous hat!

Would you elaborate a little on the felt color? From your pictures it's a cool grey of course, but how light is it? Compared with the Winchester Silverbelly, perhaps?

Congratulations Ale... can't wait to see it out in the neighborhood.

Thanks, Alan I'll post a pic of it in old forest hills later ;)

Stunning new hat, Ale. That felt color is gorgeous.
Much obliged, Sir.

Good to see you back, Bob. Graham's new colors are amazing! Make it happen! lol

Thanks, Manfred. You're very kind.

Thanks, Rabbit. Indeed a cool gray. I own a silverbelly and the colors are miles apart from each other. My silverbelly is closer to white. I'd say this one is more related to VS's dove minus the violet subtleties.

Not bad..... I suppose I'd wear it if forced!

Class. The hat speaks of class. Color, proportions of ribbon width to crown height, color and of course the gills all combine for effect on your new hat to speak class! Al - Great Hat!

I know the old adage was a man nevers shows the inside of his hat - dash that as your hat has a rich looking interior. My moniter shows a gold interior with matching embossing on the black leather. Cool dashing look.

Class.

Thanks, Eric. It is indeed a gold shade liner. I posted the interior to show how old I'll be turning in a few weeks :D and hence the name of the hat. The 33

Apologies for being late to the fete, and our best wishes for a happy 33rd, Ale!

That your newest Optimo is absolutely splendid goes without saying. Here is to many, many more decades of joy wearing it! :cheers1:

Thanks, Al. B-day is on the 17th of March, though. (yes, Saint Patrick's day!)
