Ok, I have placed my order for my first Robert Mackie balmoral. I have read on here about something called "jocking" that sound rather brutal for a nice hat at that price.

Just a couple of questions.

First off...Why? Soaking and pummeling a defenseless hat?

Second...Must it be done? Or can I simply wear my hat...my first balmoral by the way. I have a Glengarry
