A couple years ago, during a rainy fishing trip in Alaska, I picked up a waxed cotton Alaskan Brewing Company hat. It served me well in the rain, and I still have it. When I got home, I looked into waterproofing my own hats. I picked up a bar of otter wax, and bought the blue version of my favorite hat (pictured below in Old South Grey):
It was really easy. You just rub the bar on the hat, then heat the hat up with a hair dryer to melt the wax into the fabric. You can find some tutorial videos here. The finished product is great for a rainy day. Its an easy DIY project, and the hat will go great with your Barbour jacket.
