Vent holes on my VS...

A tiny bit of unraveling only on the smaller holes. The above picture is right after I did it. Once I trimmed it, the straw looks fine. (will post new picture soon) The "straw" samples posted a few pages back, might not be actual toquilla or perhaps were treated with something that helps prevent this. I think that if I were to make the smaller holes the size of the big ones (2 mm wide) then it'd be fine. I'm just not sure if it will work aesthetically with the larger holes being 2.5mm wide. Might look too big over all.

Here are a couple of pics on my Stetson Whippet straw that Ale put his vents in.
I think they add a great deal to the looks of the hat, and I believe that the air flow
will be better also. I cant wait till spring!
Great job Ale!!!!!
