I have at least 10, Gary. I'll count and let you know.

I think you would look good in one btw.

I tried one on in a shop once. Etsuko said it suited me. She followed that up with “You do NOT need one!”

Need and want are two different things

I’m being told I don’t want one either!
I do like Tom Petty’s top hat, though. The short one he wore with the Traveling Wilburys, not his mad hatter one from “Don’t Come Around Here No Morel”.

Stage top hats are cool, real ones are cooler

Without a doubt. I just don’t think I would wear one. Maybe if I become the principal - principals over here wear tails to graduation ceremonies. If I had to do that, I probably couldn’t resist a topper to go with it.

Wear one, want one, need one, where are we at, Gary. Whatever happened to just have to have one

Exactly! Remember, n = n + 1

I couldn't resist not buying this one. It has Danish, English, and USA connections that I'm trying to track down. Will post more once I know more. View attachment 410225 View attachment 410226 View attachment 410227

Fabulous!

I really like the colors on that one.

As the decades have passed I've learned that my tastes in clothing are generally rather conservative, but that hat is spectacular! My congratulations on what will surely be a wonderful and fun addition to your collection!

Thank you very much! My impression about this Bantam is very similar to yours and this was the will of the Italian hattery to give a twist to the tastes of its numeous buyers. It didn't succeed, but it left us these "fancy hats"

While I do like the colors, texture and eclectic look on this hat. For some reason I can just imagine the father from the show Marvelous Mrs. Maisel played by Tony Shaloub have a complete and total meltdown over WHY he can’t just get a NORMAL… PERFECT… RESPECTABLE HAT… like he always wears.

Wonderful Diplomat.

[Steve1857]

Fabulous!

Thanks Joe. Will show more soon.

First of three new Optimos made on my custom block. A Nashville in Cinnamon beaver belly felt with vintage penny cord ribbon. The picture is so/so, the hat is 10/10. Looking forward to receiving the other two next week.

Welcome to the FL, Alarickc.

Despite just the one photo, that looks a nice Optimo with a great look to the felt. Feel free to post more photos inside and out. We can't get enough of them here

Very nice! The color is fantastic; I hope to see more photos of the hat.
