[QUOTE="Thumper_6119, post: 564411, member: 14611"] I love mine. I have had one for about 10 years now, and I was thinking that it might be time for another one. The one I have is still good and has a lot of life left in it, but it is starting to show some signs of wear. I wear it all the time during the summers. My stepson kind of made fun of me when I first got it, calling me "Indy" (a rib at looking like Indiana Jones, which kicked off a lesson in that Tilleys are not Fedoras, which is that jewel of a hat that Indiana Jones sports). But he changed his tune after the first few times I took it camping. Nice, ample amounts of shade. My neck and ears (and slowly increasing amount of visible scalp) were not even the slightest bit affected by the sun, while everyone else had blistered necks and ears (since their chosen baseball style caps offered little projection in those areas). I wear mine anytime that I am outdoors for an extended period. And they are nice to have if it starts to rain. It also makes it easy for my wife to find me if we are at an outdoor event where there are a lot of other people. She just looks for the hat, and I am under it! It is a part of my photo walk gear as much as my camera. Tilley Hat? Check. Camera? Check. Camera bag? Check. Let's roll. Plus, I think they just look sharp. I had mine on once when I was at my brother-in-law's house, and he liked it so much, he got one for himself for golfing. He doesn't go golfing without it now. I currently have a model that they don't offer anymore. It is the wider brimmed khaki T4 with the built in insect guard (which has long since lost its effectiveness, I'm sure). I was thinking about getting the Hemp model. I like the color, and I like the wider/longer brims. Not much for the hooded/caped models as I don't have much use for those features. So how about it? Do you have a Tilley Hat? Are you a fan? [/QUOTE]
