^^^You sure it wasn't just the sprinkler that went off?
Your conclusions will be interesting.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.
Wow! Did you have flooding issues to deal with?View attachment 83115
We had 3 inches yesterday.FED IV.
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.Wow! Did you have flooding issues to deal with?
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.Your conclusions will be interesting.
Turn it! P-)Big ol rain storm just headed through town. The Adam preformed admirably...
