I ended up ordering two hats- the Miller Adams, which is a great hat. Also ordered the Tilley R3 Raffia. Interesting hat. It is quite large with a rolled brim and looks exactly like the hat Clint Eastwood wore in The Outlaw Josey Wales, except in raffia. It is soft and flexible but rather heavy...

I have been looking for a light newsboy for summer. I like the texture and thread blend in the silk caps when compared to linen caps, but I am wondering if the tighter weave of the silk caps might make them hotter?

Thanks!
