Don't leave home without it!
By Elmer
almostI highly recommend The Tilley Hat. I got the T3 model and love it.Living in the South and being mostly bald a good hat is a survival tool for Me, not a fashion accessory. I have worn several types of hats and caps with varying results. "Breezer" hats don't work in the southern sun, Your head will burn through the mesh. Of course caps do nothing for your neck or ears.I had seen the Tilley line of hats before and thought I would like one but they are a bit pricey so I put off buying one. Then I received a Gift card and decided to go for it. Money well spent. If anything happens to this one I won't hesitate to buy another. I've worn it for a month now and its just getting broken in. I wear it for gardening, yard work and general loafing about. (I'm retired so I do a fair amount of loafing about). I was in the rain today so I can say it's a good all weather hat.When I removed it from the shipping box it was a bit squashed and the brim was out of shape. Following the manufacturers recommendation I wet the brim with warm water and shaped it like I wanted it and in a few hours it was ready to go. When ordering get the cloth tape measure out of the wife's sewing basket and follow the manufacturers sizing instructions. A properly fitting hat is a joy to wear,an ill fitting hat is like a blister on your foot, it'll ruin your whole day.Once you wear a well made, well fitting hat you will ever again look atthese one size fits all clown hats with the elastic sweat band.*** Update: This is now April 2012 I have been wearing this hat for almost four years now and I still like it a lot. I've washed it in the clothes washer many times now and that works real well. It'll come out all out of shape but ironing the brim flat on an ironing board then stuffing the crown with a towel rolled up till it's shaped then let it dry works well. When dry stretch over your knee till it fits good and your ready to go. Other than a couple stains that won't come out its still in excellent condition.

By Redbar1
This is a great hat. It fits well and provides much shade. Having battled skin cancer this summer, I now know that the sun is not my friend. Apparently, sun block alone won't protect you. This hat, in addition to sun block, should help it from recurring, I hope. If you buy this hat, make sure you get the correct size. You should be able to put two fingers between the hat and your forehead. When properly fitted, it is very comfortable. I plan to wear the hat on a cruise later this fall. The lace ties should help me from losing it in the strong ocean breezes. If it blows away, the hat comes with a great guarantee, if the manufacture honors it.

By M. Malovich
Being a fair-skinned biker, I was on the search for something to give my slowly receding hairline some cover during the non-helmeted times that would also go with my style (hereby referred to as "College Pseudo-Hippy").The hat is, as advertised, surprisingly well made. I've owned the odd hat here and there, baseball and a fishing hat at one point, but nothing this well crafted. It's a bit surprising, and I can certainly see how they make the claim against damage for as long as you own the product. It's very solidly built.It takes back it's natural shape rather easily as well, though I like the lip at the front pointed a bit down just for the suave look. This particular hat is somewhere between "archaeologist" and "Indiana Jones" in looks, and fits me well. Nothing about it seems particularly silly or frivolous, and walks the fine line between a serious work-hat and a casually acceptable hat rather confidently.The shoelace-like strands keep it on your head, and you can pull it out and wear the hat on your back (which is what I do while riding with the helmet on), or any other myriad uses.The secret pocket is ingenious, the glasses holder I've yet to use (though I can imagine a dozen other uses for it as well), and the buttons hold the rim firm to the side of the hat when needed.It's surprisingly light (if you've measured your head correctly), and I wear it for hours without the least bit of fatigue. It also breathes rather well, surprisingly enough, and while it will eventually start to feel a bit heavier after some decent work/exercise, it's washable.Really, the only Con I can spy is the price, but seeing as how it's construction is so solid, and I've been wearing it day in and day out almost since I've received it, it was definitely worth it.
