I love hats the Mrs thinks I’m nuts, only thing is I can’t afford tilleys, yet I bought one that is the same design as that but in tan by dickies..

I'm going to have to look into that. All my work clothes made by Dickies are hard used and are awesome for the price.

All my shirts are dickies, the hats ok, it just seems very light and flimsy, the top seems to have a piece of cardboard in it idk if it’s just for show and I’m suppose to take it out or it stays?I love hats the Mrs thinks I’m nuts, only thing is I can’t afford tilleys, yet I bought one that is the same design as that but in tan by dickies..

I have three , a wool one for fall and winter , a white one for summer , and a Green one for spring/fall weather . Might get a blue one at some point . I got a hell of a deal at Sail in Canada , $39.50 Canuckbucks . It was in a bin of wierd sizes , had to ransack the whole bin .Twas worth it !I don’t remember where I was but I did the same thing, there was a huge box full of hats and for some reason these two just jumped out at me, one all leather, made down under, I did some research and it was a pretty expensive hat, and that’s just down there let alone paying to get it up in the US. Then another that also wasn’t a cheap hat, I think I ended up paying $2 each, the Mrs still thinks it’s a waste, heck even if I only ware it once it’s still not a waste for that price!

Great hat.
This style is one of my favorites. I've worn this hat hiking, camping, kayking, canoeing, and just walking the dog.
This style Tilley is actually a lot like the older style Army hats worn by US forces early in the Vietnam era. One of the reasons I'm attached to it. :salute:

I still have my last two, one of which has the big R in it meaning it's been replaced, and another that wore out and I never had replaced. If I should change my mind about that, I can do it pretty well any time.
Megan has a nice oilskin one that I like very much and wouldn't mind having one as well for rainy days.

I've always wanted a Tilley. I may finally succumb to the urge this year. I was wondering if anyone here has a Montana Fedora, and if so, would share your thoughts on it. Cooler weather is around the corner and I was thinking of trying one out.

I have one of those leather hats, and yes they are quite expensive at around $80.00 each.
But very comfortable and virtually indestructible.
I have shaped mine for comfort and Ill take a picha when I get home and post it.
But its mostly winter wear, it gets way too hot in summer.
In summer I wear an Acubra hat, made from Rabbit pelts.
It breathes better and isn't so hot to wear, my favourite is the Cattleman, its higher and more comfortable to me.
When you are bald like me, ya needs ta wear a hat.
Nothing worse than a burnt scalp and its one thing you can easily get in Australia ....sunburn
This is an Acubra Cattleman at around $160.00 it aint cheap

Its seen many years of hard use, been swimming several times.
Copped hail, rain and being stomped on.
but a bit of leather conditioner every few months makes it suple and comfortable.
You cant see the shape real good, but it rolls forward over my eyes so I look from under the edge, with nust a little movement I can cut off the sun and see.
The back fully covers my neck.
This old workhorse is a beauty

I don't know how large your yard is but a shopvac works fairly well. Just put those hose on the opposite end and off you go. I also was out blowing leaving and sweeping. Makes fast work of my small yard.

Just found this thread. My good old olive T3 has been a companion on many a hike, dog walk, shoot, camp and paddle over the years. I have however just ordered a new one! Not because I've worn out my old one (though no-one could blame it, if it was) but because they've got a sale on ATM and I ordered a different colour.

Very nice. Wear in good health and I mean that. Ears around my neck of the woods tend to get burned when ball caps are worn. The ears are often forgot when sunscreen is applied. I like a hat that covers my ears when out for sustained periods of time. I do wear sunscreen but coverage is nice.

The Tilley was a valued companion. Not the coolest hat out there--yes, that's sweat on the front brim--but I do like the durability and versatility. :tu:

The lunch room was uncrowded, but service was DIY...

Still, I like eating anywhere a Tilley is acceptable....

It's already hot here in Texas. Just ordered a Tilley Hiker's Hat, T4MO-1, in khaki . It comes with a cooling insert you soak in ice water and put up in the top of the hat to cool you. Hear it works decently.
This will be Tilley hat number 2 after my LTM6 in multicam.

For a hike in the mountains, I would prefer a baseball cap.
Really?! I'd never guessed it, with your avatar and awl...

BTW, welcome to :MTO:

I wear baseball caps when doing errands around town. For outdoor play, it's a Tilley or similar brimmed hat.
The exception, sometimes, is Winter. Sometimes in Winter I'll wear a baseball cap with a wool or fleece beanie over the top of that: insulation plus a bit of glare relief.
Similarly, I occasionally pair up a Buff fo sun protection with a baseball cap. If I lived in an area with more rain.....maybe a baseball cap that could fit under a rain jacket hood. I've done that fishing, too. Although I've also stood out in the rain with a Tilley dripping water down the back of my neck....... (Actually, the Tilley does a decent job of rain protection. As it gets wet, the fibers swell and shed rain pretty well.)
But in general, I like to protect my ears and neck from the sun, so a wide-brimmed hat like the Tilley is my go-to.

I'm coming in here way late because I gotta know; which Tilley is that and what's the model of that stick?

The hat is ancient...... I have no idea what model it is or if they still make it. Just your basic canvass Tilley with a double chin strap (very effective) and a few brass vents. I love it and hope it lasts the rest of my life (good chance there.).
The chin strap has long since been replaced with paracord. No real reason, I just had some on hand.
The stick is a Komperdell Camera staff (https://www.rei.com/rei-garage/product/183280/komperdell-camera-walking-staff-single). I saw it in an REI and really liked it. It has been a great stick. I broke the cork ball on the top (entirely my fault). I called Komperdell and they had a new one in the mail to me within a couple days. No charge. Just excellent customer support.
I added some duct tape and bank line to the stick for repair/first aid use. I do this with most of my sticks. :tu:

It looks like the 3 Day Assault. It's an awesome pack. Their military line is top notch. I'm bummed they don't sell packs to fit the Nice frame anymore

I believe some are and will continue to be made in Canada. But, I was already at the point where I was looking at other brands. With this development, I think it's time I start looking again- I should have a few years at least before I need to replace this one.
Maybe I'll go back to Akubra. :think:

The new owner might be the reason :dunno:
However, I think the T3 is still made in Canada.
At least the one I've got recently is :tu:

smurf that, they have enough of my $$.
I could swallow $40 for a China made hat, but over a hundred. Nope nope nope nope.

It is such a shame that another company is going the “Made in China” path. I had been looking at getting a sun hat and Tilley was on I was looking at. According to REI’s website the Wanderer is still made in Canada, but I’d want to verify first.

You should be pretty safe on that one. Given what I know now, I'd strongly suggest looking at the tag before you buy.
