Optimo Hat Shop in Chicago

I was thinking about getting a new hat Graham Thompson (owner of the Optimo Hat Shop). I was thinking about a navy hat (see link below). The last time I got hats from them was 01 and 02. My 1st hat was $350 and a year later I got another one for $375.
Today the felt hats start @ $650 (damn). With sales tax or just shipping that's nearly $700

That's a low rent area on Western Ave @ 102nd (compared to downtown)
