If he'd gone and bought a cowboy hat in the last few weeks, they would've at least attempted to sell him a summer hat (straw) instead of a winter hat (felt). Not definitive but strange.
Considering the jacket, I doubt this is a summer outfit. Assuming it’s even remotely real, of course.
Also… I don’t really feel ‘no felt in summer’ to be a hard rule. I picked up an Australian Akubra Coolabah hat in felt a couple months ago and am currently wearing it in 82 F / 28 C weather. Plenty of actual Australians wear felt Akubras year round. It’s like bringing your own giant tree with you in terms of shade.
Coming from poly/cotton boonies, the felt Akubra is perfectly fine to wear for me. It helps that it’s a light color and properly vented, of course. Absolutely love the hat and will buy another eventually.
