I know one thing the finer the weave the less air your head will get. The 500 to 700 weaves hats or even lower are much cooler.
Did you know on those 1700 wpsi or higher they'll hold water since they are woven so tight.


So for a Montecristi you wear everyday in a lesser woven


hat may be the Panama hat for you. Just my 2 cents

I agree Sharpetoys. The finer woven hats are hot. I would love to have a Montecrista hat that was woven with an area in the crown where they left air holes. I don't know what this is called, but I saw a vintage one on ebay last week. Not my size. I once owned a Stetson Panama, and they installed the eyelets in the crown for ventilation. These were godsends, and make that hat more comfortable to wear in the humid Mississippi summertime. Fedora

Yes. That is the type of hat I am talking about. You say Panama Bob can get these? I may need to talk to him. Thanks, Fedora

BUY THIS HAT

Fedora, this hat was blocked and trimmed by Art. If it is your size, BUY IT!!!!!!

I have personally seen this exact hat. It is beautiful. I would buy it, but know it is too small for me (7 3.8).
