greetings! I am a native south side Chicagoan very familiar with Optimo. although I do not currently own one, I've used their cleaning and blocking services on occasion. I'm also a new member of the lounge.

thank you! it happens to be my newly acquired (ebay) adam royal. can't tell the vintage but, the stock tag is still intact. it reads as follows; adam royal, daily P38, color: stone. and priced at $5.95. if any of this means anything...I guess I'd put it somewhere in the late 40's early 50's? no way of knowing I guess but, it's my favorite...for now anyway!

Well its happened again. I start in one place and end in another. I currently have 4 fedoras. 2 crushable wool fedoras a Biltmore Brooklyn and a Stetson Whippet.
I made the pilgrimage to Optimo's downtown store. Tiffani was charming and so very helpful.
The saving has begun.
First on my list will be a LaSalle. I thought I knew what color but after looking at the website and all of your wonderful hats. I am totally undecided again.
I will have to consult with Graham or Tiffani again before deciding.
Thanks for this thread. You have a new future member.

Konadog,

My teardrop Optimo Milan is my go-to warm weather hat. Mine has a wider brim, so it provides great sun protection. But yours looks great on you.

Mine has a couple of different-colored bands so I can swap out to match different looks.

I also have an Optimo panama, which is beautiful, but not as cool as the Milan.

Enjoy your great new lid!

Wow. What is the tax rate? I wonder how the tax will compare to my costs for shipping to Shanghai.

Oh well. If I was looking to be cheap, I wouldn't be buying from Optimo...

Gentlemen, I heard a blurb on the radio yesterday that says that Illinois businesses are soon going to have to charge sales tax for out of state orders.

That would be totally unfair. I already pay sales tax at a rate of 13% for all the stuff I buy from Optimo, because that is the tax rate where I live, and I get charged those taxes when Optimo's hats enter Canada. So now I'll instead have to pay a 22.25% tax rate on Optimo products?! [huh]

Thanks for posting that info though. Please keep us updated if you learn more about this horrible law.
