Great photo d-man... I like your feebly growing down.
I do indeed. Optimo's Oxblood color is much darker, more jewel tone than what Bob came up it, and has a very rich purple color with brown and red undertones.

Carl, David, Manfred, Jeff: thanks all for the kind comments on the Black Sheep, in fairness, Bob deserves the credit for creating such a great hat. I had the specs in mind, but his work made it all come together!
