Naptha Mystery?.....
Hi folks - I had my Optimo blocked and cleaned this summer. It came back in wonderful shape. However, the fumes from what ever solvent was used were overwhelming (to me and anyone nearby.) It's been over two months now and the fumes have not lessened or dissipated, which seems almost... -

Advice on a hat rack/coat rack?
Hi folks-Did a search but came up with nothing. Per your collective advice, I store my hats seasonally in hat boxes. However, I have no safe place to keep them while I wear them-other than my head. Our home is badly suited to the installation of a hat rack-no wall or closet space, and our... -

Newbie Confusion in New England-Please Help!............
Hi again folks- I am confused. Many folks on this forum refer to Optimo as among the best custom hatmakers. However, I see "Optimo Hats" in Chicago (Graham). I also see an "Optimo Fine Hatworks" in AZ (Grant). I am assuming that they are not one and the same, right? Are they equal in... -

Custom Makers?.......
HI folks: Great site/first post. I've checked out a lot of old posts, but don't see a compilation of who the community identifies as the "best" master hatters out there. I'm planning on ordering a fedora and wonder who the best makers are. I see Optimo, the Fedora guy, Art (who seems...
