Tilley hats

[big ears]

In 2016 I bought a Tilley hat. Not the cheapest but very comfortable.
There was a lifetime guarantee with it but I never trust these things.
Yesterday I applied as the material over the forehead had worn thin and failed.
At 04.30 I recieved an email for photos. At 12.30 they had agreed it qualified and at 12.45 there is a new hat in its way for £6 handling fee.

Well Hats off to Tilley.

Have only had mine this year.

Bought on the recommendation of one of our wee gang of Hunters - it had it's first trip to Africa in May.

The lads made much of it's 'newness' - so I got the boys to run the Landcruiser over it, to give it some credibility and patina...




Hope that does not invalidate an excellent guarantee...

A really good hat, and one that provides proper protection from the sun.

@big ears

Especially, if, (dare I say it), one has…big ears…

Had mine a couple of years now on the recommendation of Tim,Vss .
He's had his replaced foc under their warranty.
What's not to like a good product with a great warranty.

I bought the Airflo model . I have had it 6 yrs
I use it for stalking and fishing.
Great value

Indeed, and I still have the old one as well. Full of holes now, but still wearable around the farm.

Mine has had a hard life, I have worn it for many years (30?) of stalking/fishing/hiking/canoeing etc and it's still going strong, though looking a bit battered nowadays
Not completely waterproof but slows water ingress down enough to make all but a sustained downpour tolerable
Keeps the sun off my bald patch too
Glad I bought it

Another nod for the Tilley hat.

Accidentally left mine in Columbo many years ago. I think the insurance meant I got a replacement for half price or similar.

I have been wearing Tilly hats for years now. I have Harris Tweed waterproof winter hat with ear flaps and several summer ones. Started buying these because "one size" does not fit my big head

Purchased my 1st at least 25 yrs ago. Replaced under guarantee as it was worn out. Now repaired with sniper tape and lives in truck. Replacement just developing patina! Mines a T1 brilliant hat.

Totally forgot this is also why I first made the foray into Tilley ownership, a larger than average sized noggin.

Great hats, served me well in Zim this year

Had a visit up to Blair today, and made the obligatory stop off at Bruar for lunch and a walk up to the falls before a wallet punishing wander around the place. Spotting a rack bearing a range of Tilleys, I settled on the TH5. Not cheap by any means, but worth the price tag!

I bought a Tilley t3 wanderer hat this summer, fab hat. The wife thinks I look a clown in it but I don’t care, if it niggles her a little bit then I’ll wear it more! My 4yr old loves it and has now got his own.

I have the Tilley Mashup, made up of left over threads which is supposed to make it unique. I wear it stalking. Change it only for when it gets cold in the winter.

Restores your faith in proper brands and why you often pay a bit more

Excellent choice.

Both myself and the hound made the very picture of sartorial elegance, I thought

Ah - the House of Bruar - once described by a member as the place where old clothes go to die….
