Scotchgard?

[Ray-Vigo]

I have a Litefelt crushable fedora that I use for foul weather in the fall and winter. I treated it with Scotchgard liberally last year. Does anyone know if I need to re-treat each year or if I'm good to go this year.

If it seeps, then re-treat it.

For the fifty or so clams you may have spent for the wool and a can or two of chemicals to treat it, you could've gotten a felt...or an oilcloth Packer.

Well I've got a couple fur felt fedoras, but this hat is my knock-around bad weather hat. I did a quick re-spray tonight, I suppose given the nasty rain we'll have here the rest of the week it could use a retouch. Hopefully I'm set.

Well, I'm glad that within the less than an hour since your original post that you went ahead and did what was probably needed anyway. Glad I could help

Hey IC, nice avatar BTW. :eusa_clap

I'd suggest you go with one of the fur felts when it rains. They were born in water. Water made them what they are. They can take it.

The recent storm here in CA reminded me of how good a wet fur felt smells. Who's with me on that!

Yeah, I decided to torture test my Fed IV heritage felt and although I soaked it majorly that night, 48 hours later you couldn't tell it was ever outside of my house.

Interesting point-- maybe I'll give one of the fur felt hats a go tomorrow (more showers/rain I hear). I'd had a black Stetson develop spots (they looked like dirt or grease almost) from being out in the rain. I wonder if DC rain somehow is dirtier or more corrupted than it is elsewhere. Maybe I'll try the Jaxon I have-- it's fur felt but not bad for the price.
