Tilley Endurables, the Canadian company long recognized as the maker of high
quality outdoor hats, was started in 1980 when Alex Tilley needed a good hat
for sailing and couldn't find one, and decided to make one himself. He spared
no effort, sought advice from a milliner, sailmaker and hat maker, and, as he
says "got it right". Only afterwards, when he saw that he had an outstanding
hat, did he decide to sell it through stores. The sale of the original hat,
and expansion into a range of hats and travel ware, has benefited from Alex
Tilley's imagination and insistence on outstanding quality.

Tilley is now offering hats in a hemp fabric. Industrial hemp is an outstanding
fiber, useful in textiles, high strength cordage and papermaking. As a farm
crop it is relatively pest-free, does not deplete the soil, and requires little
fertilizer.
Tilley’s hemp fabric has a linen-like appearance and feel. It is resistant
to mold and mildew, and to salt water. It has a UPF rating of 50+, the maximum
UV protection rating given. The fabric makes up into a truly high performance
hat. This is possible because they make the hats very well, of outstanding material,
enabling them to offer their lifetime guarantee of replacement if the hat wears
out.

Care of Tilley Cloth Hats
The hemp, Nylantium and classic cotton hats are washable. Machine wash, air dry. Do not
bleach. If your hats must of necessity be dried or stored under warm conditions,
regular use of a
Hat Stretcher will be beneficial.
