TILLEY HATS ARE:

• GUARANTEED FOR LIFE
• INSURED AGAINST LOSS
• EXCELLENT SUN PROTECTION
• REPEL RAIN

Here's why Tilley Hats are acknowledged 'the best in the world.'

APPEARANCE AND COMFORT:
To protect you from the sun and rain, Tilley’s should fit lower than other hats. This also tends to give one a rather dashing appearance!

For your comfort, they're held on by gravity, not painful pressure on your forehead. On a hot muggy day, you'll especially appreciate this!

Even though they fit gently, Tilley’s won't fly off because when there's a breeze, you use one or both parts of the tuck away Wind Cord.

GUARANTEED FOR LIFE:
Tilley’s are replaced free if they ever wear out, shrink or fall apart. They're so carefully handcrafted by Tilley in Canada, and are made of such strong materials, that many outlive their owners. As stated in the Tilley Owner's Manual? "Pass it on!"

INSURED AGAINST LOSS:
Tilley understand the anguish of losing this reliable companion. So if you loss your Tilley hat, Tilley will replace it at half the catalogue price.

With your Hat, you'll be provided with "The Straight-Shooter's Statement of Loss of a Tilley Hat" insurance policy. The insurance is for two years, all perils, 50% deductible.

FLOATS:
A layer of closed-cell foam in the crown, and sometimes in the brim, provides the Tilley's positive buoyancy. This is a boon to boaties and fishermen/women/people. Good grief!

TIES ON:
The Tilley comes with a tuck-away, adjustable, fore 'n' aft Wind Cord. When it's calm, the Wind Cord stays hidden in the crown. When there's a breeze, place the part with the sliding knots behind your head. When it's windy or you're sailing, use the chin part too.

REPELS RAIN:
Not perfectly but usually quite adequately. The Lighter-weight Nylamtium® Tilley's are excellent at repelling rain.

HYDROFIL® ANTI-SWEAT BAND:
Soft and comfortable, it picks up sweat from your forehead and wicks it away to your temple area where it evaporates.

CERTIFIED SUN PROTECTION:
All Tilley Hats have been certified with an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 50+, the maximum rating given, both style and fabric.

SIZING and HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEAD:
The Tilley Hat fits more comfortably than other hats. It’s designed to be worn low on your head and slightly loose. It should be held on by gravity, not by painful pressure on your forehead!

Like footwear, your Tilley Hat must be sized properly. To find your hat size, use a tape measure and draw it right around your head, just above the eyebrows. Use the sizing chart below to fine your size, it is better to purchase the hat the next size up from your measurement. e.g. 58cm then purchase a 59cm and so on.

Because for a proper fit, you should be able to easily insert two fingers, flat, between the middle of your forehead and the front of the Hat. The Hat should be loose enough that you can rotate it to the left and right, and lift it up and down, without friction on your forehead. When it’s windy, use the cords!

4-PAGE OWNER'S MANUAL:
You'll find it a good read. It's also available in Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.

BRAG TAGS:
There are 8 of these in the Secret Pocket. You'll have fun with them; they can even get you into trouble, if you wish.

SUNGLASSES' SECURITY:
You can attach your sunglasses to the side of your Tilley: a Velcro tab inside the Hat holds the folded temples of your glasses in place after you've tucked the temples through the solid brass ventilation grommets. (Doesn't work in Airflo hats as they have mesh for ventilation and no grommets)

SECRET POCKET:
Inside the crown is a good-sized pocket sealed with Velcro. In it, carry your Brag Tags, I.D., toilet paper(!), license, hotel key, $10 bill (in your case a 20), plus a quarter for an emergency phone call.


WASHING INSTRUCTIONS:
Wash it frequently or non-removable sweat stains will mar it and possibly rot it. Machine or hand wash in warm or cool water. Do not use bleach as it remains inside the Hat, slowly rotting it. Do not use detergents that contain whiteners(bleach). Smooth and reshape the Hat by hand and set it out to air dry.

THE TILLEY GUARANTEE:
If you ever succeed in wearing out your Tilley Hat (and some have), send Tilley the remains and they will replace it free. If you want to keep your faithful, old, worn-out friend, tell Tilley and they will return it to you. We understand.

Remember: Upon purchase, your Hat it is covered by a two-year, all-peril, 50% deductible, Hat Insurance Policy to take the pain out of loss or irreparable damage.
