Machine Washable (won't shrink)
(scroll down to read more about these amazing hats)SIZING:
Most hat makers make 4 or 5 sizes Tilley makes 13
sizes, and will make you a custom size when
necessary. As a matter of principle, no one shall be deprived of the pleasure
and privileges of
Tilley Hat
ownership simply because
of an uncommon head size.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEAD:
As mentioned above, a Tilley Hat fits lower and more comfortably than other hats. To find your
Tilley
size, use a tape measure and draw it around your head, just above the
eyebrows. Tell us
this measurement. We'll take it
from there. Like footwear, your Tilley Hat must be sized properly.
If you already know your regular hat size, please ask for
one size larger when you order your
Tilley. For instance, if you're sure
you're
a 7 1/4, order a 7 3/8.

T-3 Tilley Hat

investment in sun protection and smart appearance.

GUARANTEED FOR LIFE:
Tilleys are replaced free if they ever wear out, shrink or fall apart. They're
so carefully handcrafted
and made
of such strong materials, that many outlive their owners. Final words in the Owner's Manual?
`Pass it on!` If you ever succeed in wearing out your Tilley Hat (and some
have), send the remains
to Tilley they will replace it free. If you want to keep your faithful,
old, worn-out friend, tell them and they will
return it to you.
INSURED AGAINST LOSS:
Upon purchase, your Hat is
covered by a two-year, all-peril, 50% deductible, Hat Insurance Policy
to take the pain out of loss or irreparable damage. We understand the anguish of
losing this reliable
companion, or of having your dog terminally gnaw it. Should
that happen, we'll replace your late,
lamented
Tilley 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.
TIES ON:
The Tilley comes with a tuckaway, 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
use the chin part too.
REPELS RAIN:
Not perfectly but usually quite adequately. Happily, the brims of the
cotton-duck Tilleys actually become
stiffer when
they get wet, not floppier, helping to protect your neck, face and glasses.
WON'T SHRINK:
They, in 1980: `Alex, you can't make a cotton hat that won`t shrink!`
Me: `But what if we boiled the material first? Mercilessly preshrunk it?`
They: `Well, I guess that would work.`
It did and does.
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:
The fabric and style of all Tilley Hats have been certified to block 98 percent of harmful UVA/UVB radiation
and deliver an ultraviolet factor (UPF) of 50+, the maximum rating given.
You still need SPF 15 sunscreen
and sunglasses with UV filters! Children especially need the UV filters in their
sunglasses as
non-filtering
glasses will increase the size of their pupils,
allowing even more of the damaging UV rays to enter. This
often causes cataracts and retinal problems later in life.
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.
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. Smooth and
reshape
the Hat by hand and set it out to air dry.
