    Optimo south side mobsters

    My philosophy is to buy the best you can the first time so I don't have to keep buying more hats. I still value them in the same order. I think Optimo does the best stitching and sources the best hat bodies. Every hat I have by them has been pristine. Every stitch, liner, sweatband, ribbon...

    Panama Hat Thread

    I don't remember who posted this about 10 years ago. I thought it was worthy of a second look. Window shopping. Washington, DC, circa 1919, Hat display, Saks and Co Panama hats, and how they're made, National Photo Company Collection glass negative.

    Steve: I love that color. What do they call it? Some type of rust? Although vintage, the hat looks new.

    Alan, The color, band, and sport sewn brim all work in tandem to make one great hat. Great condition. It looks new.

    From Ecuador. That was for 5-10 day option for the first, more expensive custom, hat. The second, cheaper Fino Fino, hat is being shipped for $46, but that includes the weight of a balsa box that I also purchased. The second hat I am shipping slower at 10-15 days. Hope this helps. Regarding...

    Pat, that's right. It's for the hats that are already woven and in stock. Here is a different hat from them that I ordered last week that was in stock, not custom made. Wish I had waited a week for the sale. In-stock (at the time) Montecristi Fino Fino: They recently got finished installing the...

    Tukwila: Ordered it from Panama Hats Direct. Pat: It is their classic Fedora. I saw your hat pictures earlier, but I couldn't remember where. Thanks for the link. When do you expect it to arrive? Can't wait to see it!

    A Montecristi Special Reserve is born. Woven from scratch. It took 12 days from start to hat body camera shot. It's possible the weaver may have been mostly done with the hat when the order was placed. It still needs to be finished with hatband, sweatband, liner, pinch protector. Probably...

    Aloha Jonesy, I say, brim down if it's raining so as to let the rain drip. Either way, you look smashing. Who makes the hat? I spent my last 5 years of Army on Oahu. I miss your awesome weather.
