Hello everyone,
I'm planning on selling my one and only Optimo Fedora but before I do I'm hoping some of you experts can help me out.
I purchased this hat a few years ago from someone else but I am not not sure of the model or the material its made of. I contacted Optimo and Tiffani told me it looks like the color is Lava which was made of their Optimo 1000 and sold for $1000. If it was their standard classic weight it originally sold for $650. Does anyone know what style this is and what I may be able to sell it for? Thank you for your help.


This is the first time I'm trying to attach photos so I hope it works.

You know what you paid for it, and that's a help.

If it were mine to determine the sell price, I would put it on Ebay at a low but reasonable starting point. Say $150? Then, if and when the auction concludes, you will know exactly what the market will bear. Seems like a nice hat. Sorry you have to sell it!

Thank you for your comments. I may try ebay or even the classified adds here.
I'm moving to a warmer climate and not sure how much use it will get. Maybe I'll be looking for a nice panama.

Well...Option really likes that one tapered block and it shows on a lot of models. If the brim is 2 1/4, it seems to be the Chicago to me.
