`It`s a terrific hat!` Sir Edmund Hillary, Auckland, New Zealand * GUARANTEED FOR LIFE * INSURED AGAINST LOSS * EXCELLENT SUN PROTECTION * REPELS RAIN * TIES ON IN THE WIND * MACHINE WASHABLE (WON`T SHRINK) Perhaps most wonderful of all… (Please scroll to the very depths of this page to learn something that continues to amaze and delight Tilley Hat wearers!) The cotton-duck T4 was designed especially with hikers, canoeists, and kayakers in minds, and do they love `em! It has also made a hit with gardeners and with others who need the ample sun and rain protection provided by the down-sloping brim. See also the T2 and LT6 if you`re in the latter category. The T4 has the same well-ventilated high crown as the T5, but with a larger brim. Brim Measurements: Front and Back: 3 1/2" Sides: 2 1/2" If you give us your head’s measurement (inches or centimetres) on the Sizing Guide on the website, we’ll give you the right size. Or refer to our Hat Sizing Chart for the easy reference to your Tilley Hat size. HERE`S WHY TILLEY HATS ARE ACKNOWLEDGED `THE BEST IN THE WORLD.` APPEARANCE AND COMFORT: To protect you from the sun and rain, Tilleys fit lower than other hats. This also tends to give one a rather dashing appearance! For your comfort, they`re held on by gravity, not painful pressure on your forehead. On a hot muggy day, you`ll especially appreciate this! Even though they fit gently, Tilleys won`t fly off because when there`s a breeze, you use one or both parts of the tuckaway Wind Cord (see TIES ON below). GUARANTEED FOR LIFE: Tilleys are replaced free if they ever wear out, shrink or fall apart. They`re so carefully handcrafted by us in Canada, and made of such strong materials, that many outlive their owners. Final words in the Owner`s Manual? `Pass it on!` INSURED AGAINST LOSS: We understand the anguish of losing this reliable companion, or of having your dog terminally gnaw it. Should that happen, we`ll replace your late, lamented Tilley at half the catalogue price. With your Hat, you`ll be provided with `The Straight-Shooter`s Statement of Loss of a Tilley Hat` insurance policy. The insurance is for two years, all perils, 50% deductible, and is not issued by Lloyds. FLOATS: A layer of closed-cell foam in the crown, and sometimes in the brim, provides the Tilley`s positive buoyancy. This is a boon to boaters and fishermen/women/people. Good grief! People have told us that this foam layer has helped save their lives. Double your money back if it doesn`t save yours. Apply personally....
