Here's my humble contribution to this excellent thread. A midnight blue LBJ inspired Vintage Silhouette with contrasting mid ribbon.

I have yet to get a felt hat with artistic venting in the crown. Let us know if you find it makes a difference heat wise. I live up the I5 in Vancouver, Canada and our weather is not hot enough most summer days for a Panama so I had Mike at NW Hats make me a casual felt that was pounced to a real light weight, just a tip liner and it is my spring/early summer hat. I thought about venting the crown but opted not to but still wonder if it would have been a good idea.

I avoid felt in warm weather preferring straws instead (this may be blasphemy but I generally like straws better than felts) so can't provide a lot of experience. My guess is that the vents probably don't help a significant amount but they can't hurt either. That's why I prefer straw in warm weather, the looser weaves breath nicely. The finer weave Monticristi's are probably about the same as wearing felt though. I find myself removing them quit a bit to fan my noggin a'naturelle briefly

Nice VS I-Puppy

I generally like your straws better then many felts.

I am new to the Hat Forum but I want to contribute. I am still working on my photography but hopefully will get better with practice. This is my Optimo Blue Pearl.

Im very surprised also but I do believe I've seen that beauty somewhere before...

Bob Roberts · Sep 15, 2016

DJH · Sep 15, 2016

It's been in other threads here, Bob. Don't worry, not taking over your dreams [emoji3]

Beautiful,love the color.

I can tell you from personal experience this year (2016) that the SAB Herbert Johnson Poet is an enormous disappointment. The felt is flimsy, the satin lining is haphazardly glued in place, and the bash was awful. I seriously doubt the crown was steam-shaped but was merely pinched (dry) before shipping. The delivered product looks sloppy and NOTHING like the image on the SAB site.
