Newbie Confusion in New England-Please Help!............

[jsecunda]

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 quality?

Thanks again for your opinions..........

Well, the folks here that rave about Optimo are referring to Graham Thompson?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s shop in Chicago.

Not sure what the Optimo in AZ is but, they?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢re not affiliated with Graham?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s shop. That I know.

Dont worry I was the same way and now that I've been shopping around learning more and more about hats I'm twice as confused as when I started

But trust me when I tell you that if you have a question about hats or anything else for that matter someone here WILL have the answer.
