The Optimo is in my view the most tropical of summer hat styles. The Panama Bob Optimo is the best-price-for-quality straw hat around. I don't think he makes the Optimo anymore.

I can't remember what I paid for this hat. It is the medium-fine quality, made in USA, as I recall -- the fino one, then, was about double the price. I think I paid around $150. Maybe someone can correct me.

I am asking $75 plus shipping. Will take offers.

I tried to get the colors right, but gave up after a few tries. The colors shown are too yellow.

NOTE: I posted better pictures in response to some questions, including one of the weave.

I'll try to post better pictures shortly. But if you have or are looking for a straw hat, you are probably familar with Bob's work.
