Freddie has always been a fan of hats. Whether its a perfectly worn in baseball cap during a day at the beach or a crisp felt fedora out on the town, a well made hat would not go unnoticed in his hands. This month’s DVD release of the Chicago-loving, gun-wielding, historically inaccurate Public Enemies got us thinking, and got us a phone call from Freddie. “Those hats are from Optimo,” he said. Knowing that director Michael Mann was an accuracy buff (interesting, considering there were more than a few falsities in the story), Freddie knew the hats were made in Chicago, probably at the closest source to where Dillinger would have gotten his. This means only one name, Optimo Fine Hats.
TRAVEL »
Thirty years ago the airlines were a thing of luxury. Men wore suits and women wore dresses while smoking cigarettes and sipping Champagne all the way to Chicago. These days it’s more like sardines chomping on pretzels in a giant soda can and I always seem to end up in Phoenix. Airport security just adds pain to the headache, but their job is a must. Packing efficiently can shave precious minutes and frustration from your travel experience.
