referring now to the drawings , fig1 shows the windy city hat . this hat has a generally domed shaped crown 1 , which fits over the upper portion of the head . the brim 2 , extends about 1 to 4 inches , preferably about 2 inches and has a plurality of holes 3 closer to the crown 1 . fig2 shows the windy city hat wherein a band of mesh 4 covers the holes to camouflage the holes . fig3 shows the windy city hat wherein a band of felt 6 made of the same material as the hat and it covers the holes and wherein the felt band 4 is stitched on the outer side 6 of the row of holes such that the inner side of the band is slightly lifted as shown in the cross section of the windy city hat shown in fig4 , where the direction of air flow 7 shows the utility of the band covering the holes providing a venting mechanism . the lifting of the inner ridge of the felt band can be achieved by providing a few small folds in the band when stitching at position 6 . the invention described above will resist the pressure of air when walking against or away from the direction of wind and allow the air to vent out to release the pressure under the brim and thus keep the windy city hat from flying off . the foregoing detailed description has been given for clarity of understanding only and no unnecessary limitations should be assumed therefrom , as modifications will be obvious to those skilled in the art .
a felt - hat that does not fly off in the wind having vents in the brim camouflaged by a porous or solid material is disclosed .
