Having worked outside many hot, Tx summers, this is how I do it.
I wear either a tank top or T-shirt, a long sleeve, heavy cotton broadcloth (button down collar type) shirt over it but not buttoned, cotton work pants, gloves, broad brimmed straw hat, shaded safety glasses, tall socks and work boots.
When its really hot, I'll take a jug of cool water and soak my long sleeve shirt, then put it on wet. Really keeps you cool.
I have convinced James to wear a long sleeved shirt because of skin cancer, but haven't convinced him to soak it.
For him, I'll take a 2 gallon insulated jug with ice water and some small towels. Put the towels in the jug and let them get good and cold. Take one out, ring it just until it doesn't drip, then he drapes this around his neck. When that towel gets warm, swap it out for the cold one, and put the warm one back in the ice water.
When you've got hay in the field and its 100+, you have to figure out how to work in the heat safely.
