Phoenix in Dark Moss today. I found this in the back of my pile and it’s too nice a hat not to wear more often.

I played with the crease a bit today and spent some time handling it and looking it over. Rick makes such a great hat at very reasonable prices. I think the secret is out and he has more business than he can accommodate these days. I’m waiting for a couple and I’m getting ready to order a couple more. I know this is a tough time for a lot of folks, and that custom hats are an extravagance. There’s just something comforting about holding and wearing a superbly made custom hat that makes me feel it’s money well-spent. Thank you, Rick!

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. I don't have an Optimo but I do have a few of Art's, BlackSheep and Leon Drexler's and Rick's creations can stand along side these hatters...no question.

My Arizona 50% beaver in sand color is one of my favorite hats. Good to know about the limitations on dress weight as far as larger size hats. I suppose I am ready to go for what comes after Arizona along the same lines. My only requirement is that it has to work for a beach hat.

Has anyone heard from Rick lately? I’ve sent him a couple of emails over the last three weeks and I haven’t heard back from him. Hoping all is well.
All is well here Brent and Robie and I appreciate your concern. I've been having trouble receiving some emails after I upgraded to Windows 10. I'm working on the problem, but nobody has been able to figure it out. For now it's best just to pm me here. With just a month into my "semi-retirement", I've actually gotten busier at the treatment center due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We've tried to minimize risk and exposure to our staff and clients, but we have 60 men living on our campus that have no place else to go. I'm spending a lot of time there covering for other staff members and am more behind on my other pursuits than ever, but I will plug along as best as I can.
