Unfortunately, what really makes the difference in ventilation is a big strip of mesh:
This hat runs rings around a felt hat in this department, but is sooo ugly.
My (german licensed and made) Stetson:

Just drop them a mail.
"Fat Charlie" is a grown-up man who starts to learn who he really is.
I can definiteley recommend Neil Gaiman, but he takes getting used to. Each of his books is a bizarre world of its own.
My favourite, and the first one I read from him, is "Neverwhere".
