Tilley Hat story.

[Kukri]

So I called in and collected it today. The Piermaster could not have been nicer about it. HaPenny Pier is now my favourite spot on the east coast.

How did they know it’s yours?

Did they catch the elephant?

I left my cap in the Brightlingsea YC showers when heading south, and found it exactly where I had left it when on my way back.

My favourite North Sails ‘ pre faded’ sailing hat I scooped out of a river 20 odd years ago
(? It is now more faded than hat but it still works )

To be fair , that same stretch of water claimed one floating winch handle from me which we never spotted again

“Fair exchange is no robbery”

But I hope Kukri continues with better luck with his winch handles ?

I trump the Tilley Hat story with MY Tilly hat story.

My hat was bought in 2008, and last year started to look a bit threadbare with holes around the head band appearing. Wanting to replace with the modern equivalent, I emailed Tilley in the UK, and was asked to send them pictures of the damage and a picture of the label inside. The upshot was the Lifetime Guarantee was honoured and all I had to pay was the £6 p&p.

Blow the elephant story, I reckon this is a helluva compliment for Tilley!

I hope that Kukri looks better than I do in a Tilley hat. I tried one on at Fox’s once and my wife and I both agreed that I looked ridiculous, which was a pity because I’m sure they are excellent hats.

Whenever I see someone in a Tilly hat I am instantly reminded of my childhood and Bill and Ben and am tempted to say in a loud voice WEED or FLOBBA GOB

 

[Wansworth]

Wotswrong with a properly fitted Panama,wouldn’t even seen dead in a Tilly hat………no class or style?

I picked mine out of a “half price” bin at Fox’s, and not having a wife to stop me, I bought it. It might be the very same hat…
