WTB Ox Blood fedora

[jlee562]

I'm still considering just pulling the trigger on an Optimo, but maybe I can save myself some coin if I ask around here.

I'm a size 56 in off the rack sizing. Anybody have anything out there in an Ox Blood that resembles Optimo's? Open to styles, but ideally looking for something with not too tall of a crown (5 1/2 open crown or shorter).

Thanks!

Do you care about brim and ribbon size?

 

[jlee562]

Well, ideally, I'd like to add a stingy brim to my collection, but I am not outright opposed to either a wide brim hat or a stingy. I prefer wider ribbons however, the thin ones don't do too much for me.

Save yourself $300 Sir, and give Art Fawcett a call...

The thing is, I'm not overly fond of Art's blend, a little too reddish/brown for my taste.

He is getting a color called Black Cherry which is like Optimos misnamed Oxblood. I'd give him a call.
