: I wore my "ruined" Miller in the rain yesterday since my bumberchute broke and I wished to not be soaked on my way to work.

: Since my hat is already damaged from a car door, I was prepared to sacrifice it, but to my surprise, it shed water well and hasn't shrunk.

: While I'd not make a habit of this, my experience shows me a little rain (ok a fairly decent amount even) won't kill it.

: BTW, I think Steve has had some shrinkage issues, so YMMV...

You know, I may have just over did the steaming process while shaping. Since steam is used in the shrinking process in the manufacure of felt hats, this stands to reason. I would treat it with a good stain/water repellant, just to be safe. Regards,
Steve
