I recall seeing pics of fur felt hats with perforations in the sides of the crowns. I've seen the perforations in a diamond pattern, as I recall, and a five-point star pattern.
Anyone know how it is done? I'd think it wouldn't be that tough, provided the hatter had the right tool(s). Put those holes in a lightweight felt, leave the hat unlined, and maybe go with one of those perforated sweatbands and you'd have yourself a darned serviceable warm-weather lid, no?
Does anyone still make such a hat?
Anyone?
