Thank you kindly! I'm not sure of the name of this crown style, but no Optimo, though, Bro.

Your porker is perfection!!
Thanks!
When I said optimo, I meant the style, not the brand. According to Brent Black:

The Optimo is the classic Panama hat style. In Ecuador, it’s called the Natural. The Optimo was the style of choice for British travelers, ex-pats, and empire builders in Malaysia, Hong Kong, India, and throughout the tropics—anywhere a gin and tonic had actual therapeutic value (against malaria, not just tropical tantrums). Even today, the style is more popular in the UK than in the US.
