Tilley Hats - the one that can survive eaten by an elephant and reappear out the other end!!!

[MayorNaze]

my dh wants one of these.

even though to my knowledge there are no elephants in our locality.

does anyone know which is the best one or which exact tilley hat got digested by the aforementioned nelly?

ta me loves

pleeeeaaassseeeee?????

haha

had to say something - they are LEGEND in Canada.

don't have one though, no elephants near us either

really? the elephant part or just the hat?!

have found umpteen places that sell tilley hats but not THE type that will survive etc etc

Dh and I have both got one . I use mine mainly in the summer - good sunhat and doesn't mind being squashed or rolled up.

Apparently they float if you drop them overboard too....

I love mine. Just brought it out for it's third season and it still looks brand new, even though I wear it continually all summer. I would go for the one with the biggest brim and I reckon the darkest one is the coolest colour.

thanks ladies - don't suppose either of you oculd do a link so i know exactly which one to go for please?

thank you

I don't know about Nuthatch, but I've got a T3

I've got a Tilley Bucket Hat and a T5 Airflow. (plus 2 they don't make anymorw) DH has about 6 different Tilley hats.
They all look great even tho' some of them are moew than 10 years old.
I've only just bought the bucket hat and haven't worn it yet, but it folds into an integral pouch and is really lovely.
You can wash them and they don't seem to mind being stuffed in a bag.

I can spell the word more - honestly!

Yes, I have T3 too and don't look anything like the people on the link that mistlethrush did (sure you don't either, mistlethrush). It's quite a cool look in the summer actually, or maybe I'm just kidding myself!

No - my hair is more wayward for one thing!

I did find that having the strap was really useful when on a walking holiday in Spain - very sunny but windy - hat would have been in the sea without it.
