hats in the heat : with or without liner ?

[jlee562]

With the standard, I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice caveat...

I'm not sure that a liner is necessary for a Milan weave. I have two modern Milan hats and two vintage. The modern ones have a looser weave, and I don't think they're the 'proper' Milan wheat straw. And while they're not an impermeable barrier to light, they're also not like semi calado Panamas...

I took the lining out of my recently acquired PHD . Is it cooler? I don't know, bit it looks better to me.
