Well, my second Tilley hat bites the dust in the whirlwind of solar-cooked labor on the house in the last eight weeks, here in the desert. Damn good hat, saw many years of the top of my head, but the stitched band is a weak link over the eons. That and acrid sweat, yuck. I’d buy another one any time: didn’t need to however, as this one was replaced under their life-time guarantee. Good on ya’ Tilley! Besides, I’m half Canuck anyway!
