The same is true when fox hunting.Does anyone remember when it was revealed that NFL Players used pantyhose to keep their legs warm during the 70's?
If you lived in the jungle of the Southeast you would encounter a place where 'evaporative cooling' is but a dream, two words strung together in meaningless sequence. This is where mold & mildew spores out number people 900 m./1 and where people turn to powder at >30% humidity.
That high desert, it must be something else... literally.
While I love my felt hats, a nice panama or milan is a change of look - and an excuse to get another hat as you mentioned.
+1000. Da Swamp, as I call it, is truly a jungle. Your hands feel like they're covered in glue in the time it takes you to walk out to your car, your clothes stick to you in seconds, and you're coated in warm slime with the least effort. . . . Gah. No wonder I hate it.If you lived in the jungle of the Southeast you would encounter a place where 'evaporative cooling' is but a dream, two words strung together in meaningless sequence.

... As far as being hot, when I'm out in the Florida sun, I'm always hot, felt, straw whatever. I think felt or straw in the summer, it all depends on preferences. If I were a straw hat aficionado, I would probably be wearing them all year around. However, every time I acquired a straw the last few years, I gave them away or ruined them in a rainstorm. So, every time I get a hankering to buy a straw, I throw the money in a jar to add to my felt hat fund. Regards. F_M
