The Company

Located on the South Side of Chicago, the Optimo Hat Company is one of the last remaining traditional hat shops in the world, and has quietly gone about the business of producing the finest men's custom dress hats available today.

Browsing through this site, you will come to realize what makes an Optimo Hat so special. An essential factor to our success is the long-standing and ongoing support of our loyal clientele; not only in Chicago but throughout the USA and from all over the world. Their support and their passion inspire us. From the old timers who truly understand quality and style, to our more recent hat enthusiasts who wish to experience what it means to own a really great hat.

In addition to our wide selection of custom-made hats, we offer a complete range of hat services, from cleaning and blocking to complete renovations.
