: I called Miller hats today and asked them about the hat powders we were talking about. They told me that although this is common in a lot of hats (e.g. the stetsons they sell), they are used "just a little" in the Miller hats. They said that they were not used enough to cause bleeding when wet. -DF
Stetson is awful for using the powder heavily on their fedoras. They're great hats, but terrible in a heavy rainstorm without some kind of waterproofing. I know, I had a river of brown water running down between my eyes from one Stetson I owned. I wasn't amused, but my kids thought it was a riot! Regards. Michaelson
