FOR SALE - 1930's Stetson Monticristi Optimo Crown SIZE 7 1/8

[Joshbru3]

I just received this panama which I purchased from ebay last week. Its an extremely fine weave. It has the "white out" treatment that Stetson used in the 20's and 30's. There are a couple dirt smudges, but overall its very clean. Its size is labeled as a 7 1/8, and I would say is fairly true to its size. I am between a 7 mid oval and a long oval, more towards the long oval side, and its still just a bit big on me. I bought this hat to wear and not collect, so because it doesn't fit me as well as I would like, I'm selling it. Also, I'm not really sure how I like the optimo crown on me. I find it a bit short for my liking. Its a standard height for a 1930's optimo crown, but as many on the lounge know, I like my crowns very tall. The straw is still pliable and its very light. I have $162.50 into the hat. That's what I paid including what I paid for shipping.

Here's the original auction:

I'm only looking to get back what I paid for it. Shipping to anywhere in the CONUS will be about 8 bucks.

So I'm asking $170 SHIPPED to anywhere in the CONUS. Like I said, that's how much I have into it.


Crown Height: 5 inches tall

Ribbon Width: 7/8 inch

Brim Width: 2 1/2 inches wide

Sweatband Width: 2 1/8 inches wide
