And before I forget, they might be adding another finish option to their list.

Any hints on what that may be?

If I knew, I would tell you. But Graham is a tease.

I can't wait to see his trip to Montecristi.

Graham did mention (in late Dec 09') that he was close to having a velour/plush finish. Perhaps he has acquired the necessary components.

Been in the works for quite some time and working to perfect it. He's shooting for the Borsalino style seen in the Marque Grand Luxe multi-x models and the traveler roll-ups rather than the Austrian(one possible describer) longer hair version.

I did see many of the hats lined up for final ribbon work a couple of weeks ago for the early customers. Clearly there are still some extraordinary weavers working today.

Optimo prices

I took a look at the Optimo web site.I saw some hats that I am interested in.I am wondering what is the price range for a satin short hair finish?
What is the price range for a beaver long hair finish?

 

[BobC]

Most of Optimo's felt hats are in the $600 range.

You went straight for the finest and most costly friend...you have fine taste!

 

[fluteplayer07]

$650, right?

 

[daizawaguy]

Don`t recall...but when the standard was 495, those went for 595, but then that was a few years ago. 6 figure handle does seem right...the blue grey long hair is a fine color indeed...
