Tilley Hats
|
|
Alex Tilley's need for a proper sailing hat led to the unintended creation of the best such hat in the world,
over 25 years ago. His gratitude goes out to those who appreciated the qualities of the first ’Tilley’.
This encouragement evolved into his ongoing passion to provide travellers with endurable clothing that allows
their focus to be on ’the adventure’, rather than the rigours of life on the go.
Alex couldn't find a cotton sailing hat in keeping with the quality of his lovely sloop. Sailors need hats and there wasn't a good-enough one anywhere. Realizing that others besides himself needed one too, he decided, in January 1980, to oversee the making of a proper one. Three months later he had prototypes that his family could test on a sailing charter in Belize, and a couple of months after that they had succeeded in making some that they could attach thier name to. |

Tilley TTMC Airflo Cap
A superb, lightweight legionnaire-style cap. Designed with a 7 3/4" cape that tucks away neatly inside a pocket so you can have more sun protection when you need it most. The visor offers substantial upper-cheek sun protection and the lightweight fabric will repel the rain. This unique design incorporates mesh fabric into crown for coolness and comfort on hot days. Being a "Tilley", it's about as good a cap as you`ll find ANYWHERE. Made in Canada |
Tilly Hat Sizing
The hat should fit so that you can insert two fingers (flat) between the sweatband and your forehead.
The Tilley Hat LOOKS BETTER AND FITS MORE COMFORTABLY than most other hats.
It is to be WORN LOW FOR SUN PROTECTION and to give you an even more SPLENDID APPEARANCE and SLIGHTY LOOSE, for comfort.
On a calm day, it's held on by gravity, NOT BY PAINFUL PRESSURE ON YOUR FOREHEAD.
WHEN IT'S WINDY, first use the adjustable back cord, then if required, the chin cord.
You'll be pleased with the way the Tilly Hat fits especially on hot muggy days.
