Optimo south side mobsters
I agree, the muted teal looks incredible. Very nice, they've gotten some pretty cool looking new felt colors in this season. I had a chance to see them recently. They have a really nice new purple one. But just like your teal it's very muted, bordering on oxblood. I'm definitely a fan. -
Optimo south side mobsters
I'm going to double check with Tiffany today since I'm picking up my new Shark Trilby anyway. But from speaking to her last month I don't think this is a permanent situation. I asked her if I should do a Trilby or a Rush Street (teardrop fedora), and she told me they weren't doing the Rush... -

Optimo south side mobsters
You could see some of the work being done at the Beverly shop, with the downtown location as just a showroom. Most of the work was done back of house, but finishing work was often done up front, such as liners and ribbons. I was allowed in the back once to see the giant machines they use for the... -

Thanks everyone. I was a bit nervous about the ribbon choice. Tiffani also suggested I do a nicotine ribbon like the edge lining. But since the rest of my hats were more conservative, I told her I wanted something a little more bold and playful. That's when she suggested I do that combo in a... -
Post New Hats Here!
You're right on the money alanfgag, it's 2 1/4" with a 4" crown. I'm loving yours though. Now I know I was right in picking that combo. Lol Thanks bowlerman and TheDane. I think I spend as much time petting it as I do wearing it. -

I picked up my new custom hat today. I really wanted a melusine hat like the Manhattan on the website in the thoroughbred with the teal ribbon. That combination really intrigued me. Tiffani thought it could work for me, but thought I should get it in a porkpie. I never considered a melusine... -

Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?
Thanks fedoracentric! You brought up lots of good points that I hadn't considered. Needless to say, one had to be very aware of each and every situation they found themselves in. But I guess if you were raised in that environment it eventually became second nature. -
Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?
I wonder how much hat etiquette was followed in its supposed heyday. Right now I'm watching House of Strangers, a 1949 film set in 1932. There's a scene in it in an indoor stadium for a boxing match. At least half of the people watching are wearing their hats, men and women included. I just... -
Where do you see fedoras worn the most?
Sorry it took me so long to chime in hatflick1. Hats in general, from fedoras to trilbys and homburgs are not an uncommon sight in Chicago. Especially downtown and on the south side. It's funny when I hear other loungers talk about getting Indiana Jones comments, because it's never happened to...
