    Another vote for leaving the lining as it is. BTW, J. Byous Co. of Georgia has a summer weight caubeen that ditches the lining. Very comfortable, breathable, and no shaping needed. It will flop down just about any way you want to place it on your head.

    Caubeen means 'Shapeless Irish peasant's hat' (even though the military ones are based on a Scottish picture) so no need to shape!!

    I wore my new Green Irish Caubeen from Glengarry for the first time over the weekend. It was very warm yesterday, and I wondered if the wool caubeen would be too hot. It wasn't hot at all and looked sharp. Quality item - recommended.

    I think you should leave the liner in as well. Caubeens are supposed to be higher crowned.

    I have one of these and can verify that it's comfortable
