Now Tilley Endurables are known to Canadians and around the world as the makers of great travel clothes. And they still make hats, lots of hats, in a surprising range of styles from a rakish raffia fedora for men to a chic vintage cloche for women. But the travel hats are the stars, if you ask me. And I should know.
I’ve been wearing my hemp Tilley Hat on every trip I’ve taken in the last six years. I bought my beloved hemp hat, pictured above, at the Toronto Pearson Airport in 2009 and I literally never leave home without it. Tilley Hats are designed to be rugged, durable, practical and stylish. They come with special features, like a hidden pocket, they travel well and they are guaranteed for life.
A Tilley Hat would make an ideal gift for the traveller in your life. For Canadians, it will be delivered by Christmas if you get your order in by December 17, 2015. You can order online here, on the Tilley Endurables website.
