I knew this would be good because of the amount of time it took to load! Thanks again Al for the great show. Optimo looks like more fun than Disneyland but a visit might end up costing more!

Seconded!

Al, that are fantastic photos. One Hat, nicer as the other! So many wonderful Hats, I wish I were Dagobert Duck and I want swim in these Hats.
Thank you, Al, for sharing them, with us!

Edit: I thought this was the other Optimo thread. My bad.

I don't know... I'm trying to get the family to Disneyland in July, and I have a feeling it might tie with the cost of an Optimo trip! I loved these photos the first time, Al, and even more this time. You are an inspiration!

What kinda crown is this?

Looks like how they do a diamond crease. If you look at "the Diamond" on the Optimo website, it has a similar vibe going on, except that the Milan has more rake.

FedoraFest will be in Chicago next year and Optimo is a hang out place for sure.

Well, if that's the case, I just might have to go!

Jared it is quite fun meeting everyone and talking hats for 2 days.

Looks more like a Teardrop to me.

If you look under the guy's right eye, it looks to me like it's been shaped into a sharper angle indicative of a diamond crease. Hard to tell from the angle though, and the hat in the picture has more rake than the hat you linked.

Keen observations, Gents, and in a sense you are both correct. The above Milan is Graham's standard Teardrop, C-Crown, but with a subtle crease at the apex of the teardrop. Softer lines than 'The Diamond'. I like to refer to it as the 'Diamond Drop'. lol


Manfred: Thank you, my friend!


Jeff: You are far too kind, but I really appreciate your comments. Have a great family trip to Disneyland!
