Vent holes: do they work?
A "very small" amount. It is more about letting heat out than allowing any breeze in. I wear my vented ArtLite with the liner out regular during the GA summers. It is as cool as Panama & palm leaf straw hats I have, maybe cooler. Not as cool as vent woven Bangora western hats tho.... -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Cases aren't that rare. Original plastic inserts ARE rare. I've got 2 cases, just sold 1 with a 100, gave my brother a 100 with a case & a "cousin" a 100 with a case...all of these in different sizes & 3 of the cases without inserts. Got a set of repro-inserts from Buler's first batch...I figure... -

WTB: Original or reproduction Stratoliner pin
I think the vintage Stratoliner 4 engine pins would point to the back of the hat. A Lounger had the reproduction made where the pin faced the front like the DC-3. I could be mistaken...- gtdean48

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
My suggestion is sell it to a true size 7. Resizing all the way to 7 3/8 would drastically alter this iconic model that is a pristine example of a bygone era. Reblocking a 7 1/4 or a 7 1/2 is another story...JMHO -
