I got caught in the rain and the Cattleman was completely soaked so I used the opportunity to redo it and raised the crown as much as I could.

Thanks for the comments! I've worn the Feds (I also have one in Moonstone) the least. I'll give them more head time and see how I feel about them. The brown deluxe Fed is the softest, most comfortable of all of my Akubras.
