In the office

[Matt Deckard]

George where I work now has a Graphite Optimo just like mine and a Chestnut... They ran out of Tobacco. Bound edged and lapel stringed.

The man also has a new straw coming with the Hollywood blocked crown like Zohar's.

 

[Nathan Flowers]

That man is hat-crazy! How many does he have now?

Oh, and if you can snag a picture of the Chestnut, I'd like to see it.

Thanks

 

[Matt Deckard]

Think he has about 20 including the straws from Optimo in the last 7 months or so.

He is in the LA office now, though I'll try to get a pic of the chestnut when I can... beautiful color.

 

[Andykev]

Oh oh...

I have to keep up with the Jones'...and SOMEONE has 20+ OPTIMOS!?!?!??

Gee, my wife thinks I'm nuts having 15!

 

[Mycroft]

Sounds like a good idea, 'H', what stand will you use for your desk?

 

[SHARPETOYS]

Got 20

I have to keep up with the Jones'...and SOMEONE has 20+ OPTIMOS!?!?!??

Gee, my wife thinks I'm nuts having 15!

I have 20 Optimos!

Five are hats and fifteen are felt samples. Total 20

Bad boy Sharptoys

Sharpie, you are bad for scaring me like that! I still have about 45 hats now. I guess I can announce two more straws coming (for me, and my friend) from ART.

That will make the closet even fuller.

Does anyone have a phone number for "HATAHOLICS"?

Another Optimo

I'm working on my sixth one a Optimo Real Milan Straw. They are sending me ribbon to choose for it. :cheers1:

First meeting at Andykev's on 3-15-05 8 PM.


The Twelve Steps Of Hataholics


We admitted that we were powerless over felt and straw and that our lives had become unmanageable.


Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity, maybe.


Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of a higher power as we understood Her/Him not our hatter


Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves and our bank account


Admitted to our higher power, ourselves and another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. {Bought to many hats}


Were entirely ready to have our higher power remove these defects of character. Huh!


Humbly asked our higher power to remove our shortcomings, only one hat a year


Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all. (Told our wives the truth if we had one left!}


Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. { Sorry I bought your hat}


Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.{ If we slip tell others!}


Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with our higher power as we understood Her/Him, praying only for knowledge of Her/His will for us and the power to carry that out. {Whew!}


Having had a awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others an to practice these principles in all our affairs.{ Told them how not to buy to many hats} :cry:

I can answer one question.


No, it is not possible to purchase a hat from Optimo over the web. They do have a website at www.optimohats.com , but Graham, who is the hatter at Optimo, does not have a way to purchase a hat over the net because he likes to interact personally over the phone with a customer to better meet their needs.

His website is not currently that great, but it is in the process of being revamped, and will be finished soon.

I've been to 2 vintage themed weddings in the last few months. Lately all my friends seem to be getting married, and luckily alot of them are part of the whole local vintage scene.

Any chance on the pictures?
