The Shining. Hands down. Probably didn't help that I was 11 at the time - don't know what my Dad was thinking taking me to this, though I was probably the one that wanted to see it.
As someone who just recently worked with Graham on resizing two of mine I can concur with the results (though the Mundo took two tries). My wife would have a fit if I had 19!!
Was just up in Baltimore and got complimented on my hat and he asked if it was a Stetson, I said no, asked if it was a Dobbs, I said no. At this point I told him it was an Optimo and he replied that he literally had been looking at the Optimo website a few hours earlier! It was a treat to hand...
Here is the email from me along with Graham's response. I still need to apologize to him, because his response made me rethink how much of an a** I was in my email. As I said earlier I was angry/disappointed and I should have waited 24 hours.
Hi Matthew-

SO SORRY… I...
I still need to post an update, but Graham absolutely was professional in his response and totally accepted responsibility for forgetting the ribbon change. I don't know beaver belly from beaver butt, but the felt on all of the ones I've seen is spectacular.
He's a lot of sizzle...I've reached out with my suspicions on what happened and will post here his response. I have absolutely no issues with the quality of the hats. I'll post my suspicions once he responds.
The experience in the store was fantastic (though it was 20 minutes of discussion of the fit where he insisted it was fine and I disagreed). I walked out with a hat that I absolutely love and the feeling that the two I left would soon be revised to exactly what I wanted. I'm still swinging...
