Tilley hats - which one?!

[dancingqueen1978]

Morning all,

I’m after a hat that I can wear all year round for dog walks and hiking. A friend suggested a Tilley hat. Looking online they have amazing reviews and are a Canadian brand. You get a lifetime guarantee and can wash them and apparently they still look good.

I’ve been looking at them and am drawn to 3 styles. I don’t know of any local stockists so I’m trying to narrow choice. May I ask you lovely lot for your thoughts?! (Sorry I cant work out how to attach photos 🤦‍♀️).

The shortlist is:

Hyeto in yellow or navy: www.tilley.com/uk_en/tp102-the-hyeto.html

T3 wanderer in navy: www.tilley.com/uk_en/t3-wanderer-hat.html

OR

TH103 cotton bucket hat in yellow, red, navy or orange: www.tilley.com/uk_en/th103-cotton-bucket-hat.html

I can choose colour, just put that info there to give idea, but it’s more the style. Does anyone have a Tilley? Or any of the above styles? If you don’t have one what do you think? Honest feedback appreciated 😁

Thanks so much x

Oh Thankyou! Another hat is always a good thing!

Now swaying towards olive! It would go with everything - god colour choice @Orchardgreen!

Hello. I just showed DH this thread and the Tilley hats which are definitely his style of hat. He's just bought himself one. If it suits me I will buy myself one, too.

Thank you for bringing this brand to my attention.

My Tilley count is now 6 - and I'm still looking longingly at the TH103 in Red . . .

@rslsys it’s lovely isn’t it?! Have you got a T3 wanderer in your collection? 6 is impressive!

@IloveJudgeJudy so pleased your DH likes them! Hope you like it too when it arrives. Did he go for a wanderer?

@dancingqueen1978
3 Tweeds (Green, Blue & Brown) and 3 Sun hats (White, Cream & Khaki).
No T3 Wanderer as yet!

I like the last one out of the three

If you have a GoOutdoors nearby, they stock them. I liked the Wanderer, but ended up with something cheaper.

I love Tilly hats! I have a hiker in olive and a Tec wool in black, they are extremely weather resistant and put up with all sorts of mistreatment

I have a TP102 The Hyeto and another one that I bought in Canada. The Hyeto I found makes my head hot, especially when the sun shines although it is goo when it rains.

I have an extensive collection of Tilley hats, they are amazing. I like the TH103 cotton bucket hat myself (number 3 on your list), I have several! They are excellent quality, last well, wash well and they float.

@dancingqueen1978 Yes, DH bought a Wanderer in olive, I think. We went to Barcelona just before the borders shut, but he didn't take it . When I asked why he said it wouldn't fit in the case. I told him there's a video how to fold it on the website! Well, next time. It's definitely his type of hat. I'm going to look at a different one, I think. He has a pretty large head, as do I, but I couldn't get a good feel for the hat with his huge head size .

I have one but very tempted by the burgundy as mine is brown.
I got it from village hats who have 15% off at the mo...
