+1If all goes well, it should only take a few days once I get around to it. Rarely do things go well for me.

Yes......me too......looks like an awesome addition! Were you in on the fray?Glad to see you won that one M!
Quite the teaser photo. Looking forward to seeing the details.
Were you in on the fray?
Well, I'm half Mexican and live in Mexico, Brent. Color is in my DNA and all around me. Besides, I ran out of Optimo felt color choices.I like a guy who isn’t afraid of some color! That looks spectacular! We’re all excited to see this hat.

I did draw the line at the Optimo Orchid felt though. Look at the first picture. Waaay too much, even for me.
The second and third pics are of Bugambilia flowers in one of the golf clubs near my home. My uncle Beryl was from Wisconsin. He visited once, and was astonished by the many different colors and the quantity of Bugambilias over the mountains to the north of Mexico City.

Oh, I meant I ran out of colors and textures I like.Optimo is known for special color runs not available elsewhere so if you ran out of colors at Optimo that’s really saying something.
Apparently I have an inaccurate mental image of Mexico City. I’ll have to visit sometime.
There’s lots of other custom hatters out there...any thought at giving one of them a try? VS, Gannon, and Northwest are among the darlings of the Lounge. I like them all, and others to boot, but the short wait and top quality of Gannon is hard to resist if long waits aren't your thing. My last Northwest was ordered in January and I hope to get it next week. Gannon told me a couple months ago that his queue was practically nonexistent. Michael Gannon is a joy to work with and makes some splendid hats with outstanding attention to detail; albeit in more traditional/limited colors. If you visit Gannon’s website don’t think his relatively low prices mean the quality isn’t there.
I’ve ordered several custom hats from Agnoulita in Greece lately, but if you’re accustomed to Optimo you will not be impressed; however, they have a huge variety of felt colors and finishes.
Forgive me, it’s always fun to spend other people’s money. Your contributions are definitely appreciated here.
