Optimo south side mobsters

[Tomasso]

does this hat look crooked to anyone else?

Yes, the crown looks off center...while the brim looks fine. Better a problem with the crown than the brim.

Lefty -- thanks for resurrecting these old Optimo threads. And particular thanks to the Loungers who, over the years, have never pulled down their photos! :eusa_clap

Mcarthur, we've got to get some better focused and lit shots of your hats.
I'd really like to see the insides and the bows as well.
These look too good to be obscured.

Is that ribbon actually a different color as it goes to the bottom? Either way, it looks great. How tall is that crown?

You'll note that on the second hat, that even Optimo can't get away from the fact the color nuances. Do you have crisper photos?

That's a great observation and a wonderful contribution to this thread.
