my Tilley hat experience: after about 10 years my Tilley tore where the crown meets the brim. Full disclosure...i beat the hell out of that hat. Sent it to Tilley for repair. They sent a new hat and returned the old one. I'll never were another hat again.
I’ve owned a Tilley LTM6 for five years here in sunny Florida. I use it outside for my job and the hat works great. Keeps me cool in the summer and I like the look of it. I follow Tilleys advice and clean it when it gets dirty from sweat and the outdoors and hang it to dry. Instead of buying a new hat each year, like I used to because they took a beating, I’ve been using this one Tilley hat and see no reason why not to continue using it. Plus it takes up no space so I also take it on outdoor vacations. Tilley hats are well worth the money.
I personally have a mix between a tilly and a bucket hat for gardening and working but I've recently bought a slouch Aussie hat from Conner hats and it's a beautiful model definitely my favorite of all time. Cheers!
Tilley T3, Olive Drab, medium brim. Bought it for a wedding I was attending down in the Yucatan and good Lord did it ever help out! It was like being under a damn broiler! I also used it to beat mosquitoes I saw in my room (this was during the height of the Zika scare), fan myself, went swimming with it in the bright blue ocean, it. was. grand. Anyways I never washed it, you say woolite works great so I guess I better wash it.
haha! Thanks, I was worried about the whole don't use soap with 'whiteners' in it or else it'll ruin your hat. Last thing I wanna do is ruin a 70 dollar hat because I cheaped out & used a 2 dollar bar of soap.
That one looks almost unused !....I got one exactly like that in Sydney in 2004 and its been to Manilla and Madrid and Ireland. It looks pretty tired now, the green on the underside fadeing, sweat stains, holes here and there and on the rim like an old pair of jeans.... It looks like its been through more dusty ancient temples than Indiana Jonses hat. I dont think Ill leave it in my will though as Id like to be fondly remembered, not cursed haha.
I have a friend who owns one. It does look quite nice. I worry though since they sold the company in 2015. That doesn't necessarily mean the quality of the hats will be compromised, but... It's still disconcerting.
I would totally were this hat if it were up to me. But I still need to think about attracting females attention no matter were I am traveling. Sorry Tilly hat.
I like to wear my grandpas Tilley hat, sadly he passed away. But I still love wearing his hat :D
***** I dont know how to check, but it is old :)
I do, what email should I send the pic to?

I own 3 Tilley hats. Very comfortable hat. Keeps the sun off of my face and neck. Great sun protection.
Agreed you can't beat a Tilly. Another benefit for those of us with big heads is they come in every size possible.

I'm the proud owner of (4) Tilleys. Nothing I have ever put on in 52 years even comes close to a Tilley. Worth every penny.
Yes, I agree, I like the white one in this video with the dark green under the brim. Classic look...
Just purchased a new LTM3 Airflo Tilley hat today, excellent quality, look forward to a long relationship.

Cool. I have a few that are kangaroo leather, Super comfortable.
I have a Tilley LTM6 in Olive, and I love it. I'd have at least one or two more in different styles/colors if I could afford them!
Your are correct, no snaps on the sides, I like the idea of having snaps. I might get aT3 next as it looks very practical.
Just ordered my first hat from Tilley, T4MO-1 Hiker’s Hat Brown. Can't wait!
Cool! Wear it in good health!
Bought one 2 days ago, best hat I ever owned. Still being made. Scamazon is the most expensive.
Amazon began with predatory pricing & now it's all overpriced garbage. It's cheaper to source the product directly from the mass manufacturer.
Yes I see it now, thanks. I currently wear a T4 model, similar slightly wider brim..
Is there a front and a back on a Tilley hat?
Yes. But it's not easy to tell.

Hi. Interesting video, just wanted to know what model it is, don't mention with one it is? Cheers
Really like mine. Me and my Tilley have been all over the world.

If I do get another one Ill hand wash it - I think the machine put too much wear on mine over the years.
I actually have a Henschel Aussie Breezer and a tea-dyed Tilley T3 (circa 1980s)...the Tilley wins hands down!
I have one of these. Replaced once. Sadly, this cotton model is no longer made. My last Tilley, I have several, is made in China.
Yep, I’ll pass on the Chinese made hats.
Tilley LTM6. I wear it daily everywhere, except in the office.
Nice.

Hmmm, good idea. Thanks.
My Tilley is almost thirty years old. Finally decided to get a new one because I can't get the sweat stains out. It goes with me wherever I travel.
Where is the front?
Put the sweat band seam in the back.
I would totally were this hat if it were up to me. But I still need to think about attracting females attention no matter were I am traveling. Sorry Tilly hat.
If you think that this hat is the only thing they may stop you from attracting women, then you’ll need to think a little harder.
