I look around but this seems still to be an open issue. Do you confirm it? I have a polygon filled y hatches but I would like to plot only those hatches rather than the edge of the polygon too. Like:

ax.add_artist(mpatches.Polygon(..., ec='none', fc='none', hatch='//'))

But in this fashion, as hatch is bound to ec if I set this latter to none, hatches disappear as well...
