Óptimo Hatworks
Bisbee, Arizona
Grant Sergot of Óptimo Hatworks in Bisbee, Arizona, has
one of the best little ol' hat shops in the West. Grant also outfitted
our O.K. Corral photo-shoot (see pages 80-83), but that didn't influence
our decision to include Óptimo Hatworks in "Best of
the West." Óptimo makes a superior Panama hat and does
excellent hat renovations. Grant's high-end hats sell for $20,000
and take 12 months to weave. In addition, cowboys, businessmen and
customers from Cairo (no joke) come to Óptimo Hatworks to
re-fashion their favorite hats. "Word of mouth," Grant
tells us, "has been incredible." You can't beat that.
