## Overview

The Levine Hats Co. Men's Casa Blanca Optimo Crown Panama Straw Dress Hat is a premium accessory crafted from 100% cotton and Teflon coated Shantung Panama straw.

## Description

Optimo crown, "Charlie Chan" style fedora hat in shantung panama straw. The straw hat bodies used in the making of this hat are ultra high quality, 3BU 2x2 weave shantung panama straws. All Levine Shantung Panama hats are DuPont Teflon treated, meaning that they are durable to prevent cracking, and moisture resistant, including resistance to stains, oil from your fingers and water resistant. Whereas other straw hats will lose their shape when subjected to rain and oils, these hats repel those materials.This iconic colonial hat style is famously associated with many Hollywood actors and great films. Famous examples: Sean Connery in "The Man Who Would Be King" and "Just Cause", Paul Newman in "Mr. and Mrs. Bridge", Sidney Greenstreet in "Casablanca" and Gregory Peck in "To Kill a Mockingbird."This hat is trimmed with a basic gentleman's black grosgrain bow band. The band is sewn onto the hat, creating a finished look. The hat band is approximately 1-inch wide, creating a classic look. This width is ideal in case you want to purchase other hook on hat bands to match other colors in your outfit. The Levine Casa Blanca Optimo Crown Fedora Hat features a comfort cotton sweat band on the interior, which wicks away sweat and keeps you cool and dry. After a few wears, this band is self-conforming, meaning that it will begin to form to the shape of your head. The hat is unlined for maximum breathability and comfort; it is ideal for Spring and Summer wear. Made in USA.

    A bargain, considering the quality, the fit, and the price.
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2018*

I have been shopping for an Optimo shape Panama hat off and on for some time.  I am not really a Panama hat snob, insisting that it be made in Ecuador.  This one is made in the USA.  Actually, I rather like the concept if the quality is up to snuff.  The hat came well packaged with the brim turned up as in the picture. Since I am not Charlie Chan, I didn't want to wear it that way.  So, I turned the brim down.  It left the brim just a bit wavy.  Good thing I knew the "steam" trick.  I steamed the brim over the kitchen stove, and it smoothed up nicely.A Panama hat snob could easily get into over $300 for some Panamas, depending on its grade...Fino, Super Duper Fino, etc.  It may have said in the description what this one was, but I don't recall.  It is very similar to a Bailey Panama I have in terms of the weave.I am very pleased with the quality and the fit and the price.  At $109 I think it is a real bargain.  Plus, they had it in stock.  Some Panama hats may take a couple of months to be made after ordering.

    Excellent Hat -- Would Buy Again and It's Made in the USA
  

*by T***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2016*

I bought this hat for sun protection, but it's more than that.  It's very comfortable and looks great.  I can't speak yet of its durability, only time will tell. It's coated with DuPont Teflon Shield + fabric protector, so it will be easy to keep clean -- and it's made in the USA.I will wear this hat daily from April through September in the heat and humidity of Austin, Texas.  If it falls short of expectations, I'll write an update.  Meanwhile, I would definitely buy it again.  It's more attractive than its photos suggest.UPDATE March 24, 2018: My Casa Blanca Optimo continued to exceed expectations, but it turned up missing during my last move.  So, I purchased another hat identical to my previous one.  The DuPont Teflon Shield was great.  It helped remove smudges and stains from my first hat, which was very light in color and easily showed dirt.  My second hat (received yesterday) came in a nice hat box, which will be useful in storing and protecting the hat.  This is a great hat!  I would buy again!

    Levine Hat Company Panama hats WONDERFUL
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2017*

I bought two hats from Levine Hat Company of St. Louis, the casa blanca crown Panama Hat (like the foldable summer hats) with the small ridge on top) was what I bought.  I am well pleased with the QUALITY of the hats, the weave is small and tight and coated with Teflon, white in color, with a black hat band.  The weave keeps the sun out and is both flexible but sturdy enough to keep it's shape once formed to the shape you desire.  I typically wear the brim down but that is personal choice.  Hat was shipped in a double box, the hat box with a clear plastic bag over the hat and the ha in a cardboard holder inside the hat box and that box within the shipping box.The shipped hats got here very quickly (from St. Louis to north Texas), and were shipped securely and fast.  The hat protects me from the sun, and lets air get to my head.  They are stylish and cool (temperature wise).Very pleased with seller & hats.
