Tilley Hats

Tilley Hats is built around necessity and innovation. Founded during the 1980s by Alex Tilley, the company grew from his desire for a hat to go with his sailboat; the Karmananda. He came to the world of hatmaking with an outsider's perspective, having never made hats before. Eventually through trial and error, he finished the first Tilley hat, the T1. In the beginning, the hats were sold at boat shows and after numerous positive comments, he realized he was on to something. Tilley hats are proudly handmade in Canada and Tilley stands by their quality and craftsmanship, which is why they come with a lifetime guarantee. All Tilley Endurables securely tie on in the wind, float, won't shrink in the wash, and won't mildew. Outdoor Tilley Hats are perfect for water, sports, for hiking, for gardening, and for all outdoor activities because they're certified to an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of 50+, blocking 98% of ultraviolet radiation. These durable hats feature the best materials to ensure the quality and performance expected from the Tilley name. Handcrafted with lasting performance in mind, Tilley Hats include AirFlo hats, hiker hats, Endurables, raffia fedoras, and hemp hats and are essentials for every outdoors man or woman.
