Optimo Hat Co.

[Blackjack]

I live right outside of Chicago and after reading a couple of the threads I learned about Optimo and looked them up on the web. Does anyone know how their pricing runs, I'll bet their really expensive.

 

[MK]

You bet correctly. $400+

 

[Matt Deckard]

$400 or so.

Their current standard quality offering is a 49% beaver 49% nutria 2% hair blend that comes in a heavy or lightweight.

If you live buy them go check 'em out and post pics.

Take the drive to Optimo

It is worth the drive to Optimo just to see hats, find out your correct size, and ask all the questions you may have. Even if you don't buy a hat, you will be amazed at the operation, machinery, and tools he has.

Well worth the trip. Plus there are a couple of nice lunch spots nearby.

Hey, I also happen to be in chicago this weekend...I'm hoping to see Optimo myself, but seeing as I haven't got a car, it don't seem likely hopefully I manage to pull it off...or at least one of us does. If I don't, you'd better LOL

Blackjack here is a site you can see some Optimo hats worn by lounge members.
