Glad to see another satisfied Tilley customer! I've worn a Tilley hat for about 15 years, and have several shirts and a couple of pairs of pants as well. VERY good stuff...they even guarantee their hats for life...even if you lose it!
Tilleys are actually issue head covers for Canadian Troops in Afganistan. During the first Gulf war, a lot of Canadian troops did some heavy duty trading with their American Brothers-in-Arms for their Tilleys.
My wife and I met Alex Tilley (the company namesake) in Alaska a couple of years ago...I had him sign my hat!
