Hi All, I'm looking to sell this Oxblood Optimo hat. I bought it in Spring of 2013, and while I've worn it a fair few times, I've long known that, as cool as Johnny Depp looked wearing this shade in Public Enemies, this color just doesn't work for me. I the look, but I don't wear it. It's still in excellent condition
When I purchased it, I wanted to capture the Public Enemies look as closely as I could. I tend to think the block Optimo uses on their Dillinger produces a hat that's too tapered, so I opted to have it made as a Cagney (a style Optimo unfortunately doesn't list anymore) with a black ribbon. The dimensions are:
crown height: 6" / 152mm open crown (best measurement - it could be as low as 5.75")
brim width: 2.5" / 63mm
ribbon width: 2 1/8" / 54mm
The size is listed as 59, but it's really a 59.5. It should fit reasonably well for a slightly roomy 7 3/8 or a tight 7 1/2. It still has my initials embossed on the sweat. The buyer can either ignore them or replace the sweatband (or attempt to remove them himself, I suppose, but that seems a risky option, and I won't answer for the outcome).
This is a pretty unusual offering - a classic Optimo color that's no longer offered in a classic style that is no longer listed on their site. The hat comes shipped in one of Optimo's sturdy hat boxes. Asking price is $550 shipped in CONUS. Paypal f & f please. I will accept returns, minus the cost of shipping both ways.
