Damn... I love that hat!!!

:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

That is a special one.:eusa_clap I like the little attention to detail. The larger holes on the corners of the diamond that make the ventilation detail pop.

So those that are bald on this forum -- do you wear cushioned sweatbands?

Thanks for the trick question, Matt. The cushioned sweatbands prevent baldness. Hello!!!!!.......

Guys, it's the Positive Ventilation that prevents baldness not the cushioned sweatband. :eusa_doh: lol

Teeny tiny. 6-3/4. But with a sweatband that prevents baldness, how could I pass it up?

Here is a Mora derby with the side vents in the shape of a crescent.

Art Fawcett

I think Art has one of the tools with which to duplicate that diamond pattern, and he wore a side-ventilated fedora (in whiskey color) that he had made to the dinner at High Point. I would presume he could ventilate an existing vintage hat as well as a new hat.

Interesting.... my mother always insisted I'd go bald if I wore a hat in the house.... I didn't, and went bald anyhow.... maybe I should have been wearing one with a cushioned sweat band all those years and I'd still have my hair! lol

I do not have a detail of the vents on Arts hat. But here is a shot of Art with Major Moore, Art is wearing the hat John Barrow speaks of.
Just let me tell you it is a sweet hat!

Wasn't there a thread that detailed how to do your own ventilation? Perhaps with grommets?
