As one of the last remaining traditional hat shops in the world, we take great pride in preserving, refining and evolving the lost art of hat making. Your Optimo is understated, purposeful and built to last – the best hat made.

Optimo Voices | Marlon Harvey
Horseman. Mounted Patrol. A man with timeless style.

"I was born with an old soul. I have an appreciation for things from long ago—a time when things were built better, lasted longer, and were not expected to be replaced."

Marlon wears his Optimo with the same pride and purpose he brings to his work—rooted in tradition, built to endure. Marlon has an extensive Optimo hat collection, but he still wear this one. Purchased in the late 1990's, he's had this hat renovated many times over the last 25 years.
