The Classic Optimo Panama hat. Robert Redford and may others used this model. This is the best roll up model, and blocked in standard oval.
The standard crown height of the Optimo model is 4" - 4.5" measuring from the brim to the top of the point on the side of the hat. This Optimo Panama hat is blocked on an standard oval hat block rather then a perfectly round one to fit better.
Snap brim on the front causing the brim to tip downward slightly and upward in the back just a little.
Stingy Brim: Almost the smallest brim we can make and still be called a brim! Snap brim on the front causing the brim to tip downward slightly and upward in the back just a little. Not a lot of shade protection, primarily it is a style thing! Some people just look great in short brims! This is a very unique brim for its rather small size.
Each Panama hat comes with one hat band of your choice, but you may want to include a few extra hat bands- a quick way to change the personality of your Panama hat!
Each and every Panama hat we sell is handmade right here in Ecuador, so no two hats are exactly alike.
