GUARANTEED FOR LIFE:

Tilleys are replaced free if they ever wear out, shrink or fall apart. They`re so carefully handcrafted in Canada, and made of such strong materials, that many outlive their owners.

INSURED AGAINST LOSS:

We understand the anguish of losing this reliable companion, or of having your dog terminally gnaw it. Should that happen, Tilley will replace your late, lamented hat at half the catalogue price.

FLOATS:

A layer of closed-cell foam in the crown, and sometimes in the brim, provides the Tilley`s positive buoyancy.

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.
