We got blasted last night with rates of up to 5" of rain per hr. Haven't heard yet how much the area got but there is flash flooding everywhere. I managed to keep by basement dry. My Akubra Cattleman drew the short straw. The pic on the doorknob is most accurate for color.

It never soaked thru!

During a rainstorm, of course.

^^^You sure it wasn't just the sprinkler that went off?

I had an umbrella, too.

The sky decided I looked too dry while I was grocery shopping yesterday,

The Royal Deluxe insisted my head would stay dry and it did. The rest of me, not so much.

I'll let @bobroberts guess the weather. 3X OR.

We just had a pretty powerful thunderstorm roll through here. At least it held off until after the eclipse. I grabbed my Akubra Cattleman again. Without a liner it has become my go to rain hat & I'm running an experiment to see how it changes the felt.

Your conclusions will be interesting.

Wow! Did you have flooding issues to deal with?

Not really,Mike,it came in three waves over 24 hours.I see on the news that Kansas City )+/- 170 miles south had 10+ inches in some areas.

Storm came up on the way home. Plenty of shelter under the Stagecoach.

My Santone Woomera has been pretty well soaked (but not soaked thru) 2-3 times & I noticed a change in the brim, not so much in the crown. The brim definitely is softer & more flexible now with a great touch to the hand. But the brim on the Woomera is thicker than the brims of either my Cattleman or Coober Pedy. That may factor in somehow; I'm just not sure. The Cattleman has been in rain 2-3 times now, has a slightly different touch to the hand but not as nice yet as the Woomera & so far that is all that has changed. When wet the crown does have that nice clay-like feel & I take advantage of that in refining the crown shape.

This fall & winter when my black hats come back out I'm sure my black Woomera will get it's chance in the rain & snow. And perhaps my Santone Fawn Coober Pedy. I'm hoping the black Woomera will react similar to how the Santone Woomera did. I would expect the Coober Pedy to be similar to however the Cattleman ends up being.

Six years ago today (thanks Facebook!) and my Campdraft was proving that it is the perfect wet weather hat.

Cheers! David
