Tilley Endurables

[Keebler Elf]

I can't say enough about this company. So professional and they really think of everything. I recently bought one of their hats ($75) and it's guaranteed for life! And on top of that, if you lose your hat they'll give you 50% off in the first 2 years.

The hat's are of the highest quality (even the stitching!) and are meant to last a lifetime.

And on top of all that, they're made right here in Toronto.

When you buy one, they give you a card with the information on their guarantees and one of the most clever things they do is tell you to put the card in the left side of your bottom dresser drawer. Then if you can't remember where you put the card, when you call them they'll tell you to check your bottom dresser drawer. Ingenious!

If you're ever in the market for a summer hat or fedora or travel garb of any kind, I highly recommend you check out Tilley Endurables.

SHILL!

I agree - the clothes and hats aren't inexpensive but they last forever and the customer service is fantastic. I have one of their hats - 7 years and counting. The straps to secure it are really good and even if it does blow off, it floats.

I'm totally with you. My parents bought me on of the wider brimmed hats 20+ years ago and I still have it. It's my boating hat. It has been all over the world, dropped in the lake, forgotten, run over, washed and it still rocks. I like the foam insert that keeps it floating, and the secret pocket.


I can't believe I've had a hat over 20 yrs. Damn I'm getting old.

Arent the rest of the elves going to be jealous?

I kept waiting for the punchline - I didnt realize mens hats were still en vogue! But if I'm ever in the market for a summer fedora (you know, for when I'm out pimpin' my 'hos), I will surely look into it!

I agree, Tilley clothes are awsome for travel. Pants with secret pockets, underwear that you can wash in the sink and drip dry...and it isn't like cardboard in the morning. I recently did an imprompt Euro rail trip and Tilley clothes make it easy to pack light for a variety of situations.

My only problem is the hat. The only guy I've seen that doesn't look like a dork in it is Tilley himself??

ok maybe they are good quality and the company has good customer service but in the end anyone wearing one ( a hat anyway) still looks like a complete dork IMHO

 

[Keebler Elf]

Wearing a hat makes you look like a dork? Uhh, okay then.

But speaking of dorks, I was at the mall this weekend (first time in a while) and it was quite amusing. I've never seen so many posers in all my life. Guys walking around indoors with reflective aviator sunglasses. Please guys, you're trying WAY too hard.

I totally agree.

Makes you look a decade older too.

no just Tilley hats. well some others too but mostly Tilley. And i agree with the sunglasses inside. Can you imagine a guy in a Tilley hat wearing sunglasses inside?

 

[MojoRisin']

I totally agree.

mostly older short stalky bald guys with glasses right? George Costanza like dudes? Carrying a walking stick while walking downtown with his wife that is dressed just the same oh and im sure there is a fanny pack there somewhere too. Just a generalization but its a pretty good call im sure

 

[papasmerf]

I have two of their hats and a FILSON ( www.filson.com ) for the winter.

I applaude you Keeb. For the self confidence to wear a Tilley Hat (and possibly look like a dork).

I am well into the point in life where comfort and practicallity overrule 'cool' most of the time. But I haven't mustered up the courage to sport a Tilley hat. Then I'm not much of a hat guy anyway. (and I don't wear shades indoors)

 

[hairyfucker]

... , and the secret pocket.

the secret is out now. why you gotta tell everyone?

 

[Shades]

Don't forget the secret pocket in the hat too!

now it's out...as a follicley challenged male...I've been known to sport a Tilley, but I refuse to wear the chin straps, hat!

....and damn, when you're travelling that underwear is comfortable...even without a secret pocket.

DITTO! I just bought the new wider brim Tilley in dark blue, which affords UVA protection. Much needed after having a carconoma detected on my follicly challenged head.

I never wear the chin straps as that does look dorky.

 

[Keebler Elf]

I almost want to pull the cord right out. It'd have to be pretty windy indeed to need it.

Jeez... Don't pull the cord out!. I think it inflates into a PFd

I believe $2 of the cost goes toward hat insurance as explain by salesperson.

TE outlet location is Don Mills & Eglinton.

True their hats last a long time. Unfortunately, their stuff makes me look 50ish. I'll stick with Eagle creek, selected MEC & North face. Field tested & never fails.

I bought a tilley hat at one point as a ball cap on my head looks like a peanut shell on a pumpkin. I wore it a couple of times at the cottage etc., hasn't left the closet in years. Is a little crazy to charge $75.00 for a $1.00 worth of canvas.
