May look better in it?!? He's a slam-dunk winner!! It really is terrific to see how at ease he is with it on his head.
Time for another lid!!

I missed this till now. Your son looks like he will be sporting a nice Optimo if you ever take it off. He looks like a natural in it.
Here is my very first custom Optimo 1000 Dearborn in Silverbelly. I waited 6 months for it. I got it before in size 60 and it was just too tight on the forehead. I'm still not sure what the problem was since I don't have issues with Art's Hat's but I'm guessing it's my head shape. Nevertheless Tiffani and also Graham really cared about me and Graham made a new hat for me size 60.5 and a bit more "egg oval". I'm very happy with it and quality is outstanding.
The bow was made to look like one of Art's.

Sadly, I can’t see any of your photos on Tapatalk.

I'm sorry to hear that. I've created an album in the "media" section of the Lounge which is probably unsupported by Tapatalk.

I just posted this photo on the "What Hat Are You Waiting For Today" thread and thought I would also post it here to help keep this thread alive. This arrived about 15 minutes ago (I ordered it on July 10th). From Optimo, the John Lee Hooker in aubergine. I will shoot some additional photos later on.

This is an Optimo longhair in blue that I do not wear often enough. I just counted up my collection of Optimo hats at the count is 23 hats. As a result, some hats do not get worn with a high degree of frequency. I am going to try and wear different hats and try and have some type of rotation. I tend to go to excess when it comes to clothing (e.g., 44 pair of shoes) so I need to try and do things in more moderation.
Does anyone know when Optimo will have the 2019 colors out?

I have a thing for the furry one and this hat checks all the boxes. Very nice!

New swatches added...

I really like Elk, even though it's likely not a color I'd select for myself. Neptune blue is drop dead gorgeous. I feel like I would like onyx, though I've liked all their 'black-but-subtly-not-black' colors like space and lava.

They have added two new categories of Heirloom and a Beaver- Mink blend. The prices are higher in these categories particularly the Heirloom collection. Colors are beautiful.

Just came across the latest offerings of new shades by Optimo as well.
Bedrock/Steel looks superb as well the Blue Pearl
I believe the Stets and the others were a bit close to having produced similar colors back in the mid-late 50's early 60's correct me if I am wrong. The Pastels are becoming a bit more looked at depending on the makers as of late in what they offer and Optimo is in a lead here. Hard to get a vintage color shade as of late.

I took my Optimo John Lee Hooker aubergine Homburg out today as I was doing some clothes and shoe shopping. Here is a photo of me and the hat. I will try and get some additional photos with better lighting and contrast. I wanted to be sure and get the shark gill bow with this photo.

Man that's a nice one! Great proportions. Can you provide some measurements (crown, brim, ribbon)?
