Breathable Fedora (non-woven)

[Mr. John Smith]

Hello gents.

Alright, I'm just not a big fan of woven hats. With that out of the way. Who makes a good, breathable, summer-ish hat these days?

If you want to stick with a fedora, but don't want anything woven, Art's light felt has a growing following. I don't have one yet, so I can't say how much cooler they are than dress weight felt.

If you're willing to go a different route, you could always pick up a linen cap like the ones sold here:

Again, I do not have experience with BWear, but the Cap Faction thread seems to illustrate a general Lounge approval.

I recently purchased a featherweight from Art and can attest that they are extremely comfortable. However, I can't see myself wearing it in the full heat of summer (at least not in my neck of the woods). Some may be able to do it but it's a bit much for me.

Just got this one from our frinds at outback outlet dot com.
The mesh is black rather than brown, but fer eight bucks, how wrong can ya' go?
