Just received this FED IV-instant shower!

Breakin' it in, RJR!

Last week, the Thrift Store Milan, my wife, and I had to bolt the baseball game in the 8th (and we were winning!). Thanks to smartphones, we knew the thunderstorm was imminent. Still got caught in it, though.

Yesterday, the Gus Miller custom got baptized in a thunderstorm...

It will hold.

Quick trip to the PO and bank at lunch in the thunderstorm.

Akubra CD's first rain shower...

I'm impressed!

I did notice the bad part of this teardrop crease is that water will pool at the top in the gullies.

Have plans to re-bash this weekend to make a taller crown height. Also try a simpler diamond crease.

Just caught in a brief shower-PB in beaver just sheds it off.

Got caught working outside in an Indiana Jones fur felt when the rains came.

My Coober Pedy showing freckles from fog & mist from walking in from the parking lot. The temperature dropped 20 degrees overnight causing a damp fog this morning.

I like the speckled look, keep it!

This is my walking hat (I wear it every time I go walking with my mother and some neighbours) and today it got sprayed.
It's a Stetson 4x beaver COWB--R in D4 Ranch Tan.

Best way to break in a new Akubra.

Sleet turned into heavy snow so its Akubra Federation time.


Snow knocked off pretty easy.

It finally rained in California and my old OR held up fine. Kept my hair, what little is left, nice and dry after a 1/2 hour stroll.

It is nice to see a felt that can stand up to a snow drift! I think a wee snowman is in order!

I'd rather not see that for awhile .

Regrettably, I don't have a photo, but my hat was just caught in the worst rainstorm I've ever been in. It's soaked through! How long do you suppose it will take to dry fully?

I think Cindy's advice on the other thread is spot on. We're normally told to let it dry resting on its crown (so as not to flatten the brim). Since it's as wet as you say, you might want to flip the sweat band out to prevent it from shrinking.

My thick-ish felt soaked hats usually take a good 2 days to dry at room temperature.
