WTB - INEXPENSIVE OPTIMO CROWN PANAMA 7.5 to 7 5/8's

[Mr. Lucky]

Hey There!

I am currently looking for an inexpensive to moderately priced cuenca (low end) panama hat in the optimo shape in sizes 7.5 to 7 3/4. Higher the crown, the better. Narrower the brim, the better. I would prefer beige or off white. I got around forty to fifty bucks to spend here.

Anyone want to help a brother out?

Those two words --Inexpensive -- Optimo --- . . . . something a bit discordant there.

 

[Lefty]

Optimo - hat maker, expensive
optimo - open crown style with a ridge running from front to back, traditionally associated with panamas

For that price I'm sure Panama Bob can find you a brand new one.
