    Aero Bootlegger Fit Check - too short?

    I had the same issue with the first Highwayman I got. I didn't like the short length - I prefer my jacket to reach my belt. After being unhappy for a year I ordered a new one with 2" extra and I've been much happier. I'm more concerned with how I like a jacket to fit rather than how it fit 60...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    It's panama season here in the Midwest. I get some looks when I'm out at Walmart or similar. But, invariably I do get compliments. A couple weeks' back, I was at a birthday party - lots of 20-somethings and 3 different people complimented me on the hat or hat/outfit. One guy asked me how...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    wow - that will be sad. After an initial Stetson purchase, when I decided to buy some quality hats and start a collection I originally bought a couple Optimo hats from Chicago. Really nice hats, but mostly ready to wear and very pricey. Mike's hats are hundreds of dollars less for same...

    Hat Storage

    Interesting - I have always been told the opposite - storing hats brim side down was bad. I'll flip them over :) Thanks for the heads-up

    Hat Storage

    So my collection is somewhat meager. But, we got rid of the TV inside the armoire in our bedroom and I was granted most of the space inside :) So, now I'll rotate my fedoras and panams:

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Thanks - it's burgundy - white balance is a tad off and saturation up in the photo. I live in Medina (about 1/2 hour South of Cleveland). Here's what the hat band looks like with correct white balance:

    Options to fill "the gap"

    on a whim, I emailed Optimo and asked about getting 2 boxes. $40 per box and $35 shipping so $115 out the door. I was afraid I'd have to pay shipping per hat box. I looked at Sarah's site and for the box with insert it's $55. So, 2 boxes would be $110 - shipping would have to be only $5 to...

    Options to fill "the gap"

    Thanks everyone. I'll report back in a month or so to compare Mike's hat to the Optimos I have. I will say, I'd love to find a place to get boxes like the ones for my Optimo hats directly. Mike's hat came in a serviceable box but the Optimo boxes are fantastic (and as my collection seems to...
