Tilley Travels

[Kreissaege]

My Tilley hats are used in many ways.

I did go out and try the foam thing -- 37C (99F) air temp, substantially higher in the sun. Bottom line, unless you need the foam to float the hat, removing it made it much cooler and nicer to wear.

Another cold,rainy morning;Tilley LTM5.

I just got a T3. What do think of the canvas vs synthetic in the heat?

I don’t own a synthetic. I Tried them on in store and they were lighter but I was not crazy about the nylon. Was sceptical about how it would hold up over time and get cleaned up. Love my canvas ones though.

Ironically this is exactly what I thought I would be wearing during an outbreak. But in the real one I don’t get to kill Zombies.

Stay safe everyone

Nice one. I'm stuck in a small condo in Israel. I can't leave for 2 weeks cuz I got exposed to someone who had it. Now the whole country just got put on complete lock down! Stupid kids going to the beach! I ordered a Tilley T3 wanderer black off amazon through a shipping service outta florida. I wonder if I will ever get it.

The hat looks good. I'm jealous you have a yard to go out in. What model is it? I'm just curious. I don't think the economy will get back to normal anytime in this decade, so hopefully my T3 classic will last til then, and my Wanderer if it ever get here.

Mine is a T3 I bought as a teenager over 25 years ago. Just wash it when it needs it and it will last for years. It also comes with a lifetime warranty so you should be covered anyway. I hope it arrives soon and wear it in good health.

I got it, didn't know if the post office would be open. The media said only food and pharmacies would be. Customers had to wait outside to social distance, but there was barely anyone there. The tellers both had clear plastic over all the holes in their booths and PPE. But I got it. It was too small despite ordering it a size big. I've stretched over my knee a few times. I like it. Wore it out today, but now israel is going into total lockdown for Passover, since they don't want people spending the holidays with extended famlies and then having a surge in infections. Too bad. Took the bottles to the recycling finally wearing my wanderer outside and the sun is finally out. Felt Great.

looks great. Wear it in good health.

Johnny your post influenced me and I picked up my first Tilley. The LTM5 is a dynamite hat and the recent sale made it reasonable. I wore it this past Saturday felling a large tree. It was a great hat for the effort. The dirt and grim washed off with a bit of dish soap in a bucket with a light brush. Rinse, dry and it is good for the go. The clean-up of the Tilley took less time than cleaning and sharpening the chainsaw. I have a couple more 40+ footers to drop this Spring and if the weather is warm it will be my go to. Thanks for the push off the bench.

Congrats sir. Be safe and wear it proudly.

In 2012 I worked in a children's home on the edge of a jungle in Colombia. On the way down I stopped in Peru for a few days and got this cool hat band:

Tilleys are fine. Better than a baseball cap, more endurable than felt fedoras. For real hardship travel, they are often just the thing. Nothing to apologize for. Wear ‘em with pride.

 

[Blackthorn]

I totally agree, Tiki. When I need a hat I can thrash if need be, only Tilley qualifies. I can wear it without worrying about it.

First big effort in a Tilley was yesterday. Cutting 3 acres of pasture, planting tree seedlings and cutting errant trees and brush. Hat worked like a charm. When I got hot I dunked it in water and put it on - felt refreshing.

Here is a pic before the efforts.

Best, Eric -

I recieved my second Tilley. I wanted to try the meshed sided Tilley for the warm weather. I ordered it weeks ago and it was shipped some time last week.

I am exhausted, but happy to be home before the sun sets. I opened the Tilley box that was delivered this afternoon and am wearing the wrinkled and beat up hat this evening. It is HOT and humid, so I am wearing it and hoping it will do the right thing - perk up bud.


BTW: I am sipping Omni Brewing Hue Hefe this evening. It is a
hefeweizen-inspired German wheat beer. It is with concentration to taste a hint of of banana and a touch of clove. Lovely beer on a warm summer evening.

The kahki hued hat has a 3" brim in front and smaller brim on the sides.

I will have to report back as the mesh sides are not as airy as I expected. The above pick shows that while the sky shines thru the raised hat, it is not as airy as many of my panama hats.

More to come.

Cheers, Eric -

I also have a Tilley thing...six from years ago sailing...but this is my favorite Tilley...being of course because it is “The Tilley”.

Nice, I had no idea they made hats like that.
