TilleyUnisex T3 Wanderer Hat (Khaki, 7 1/4)

I have always worn hats as long as I can remember. Growing up I played a lot of baseball, so it's always been baseball caps. I never really ventured into other styles such as this before. However, I wanted to get a hat that could cover my neck and ears from the sun on long hikes in the open.I really didn't know if I was going to like it or not, but I am glad I took that chance! After doing some research, I found a lot of people like this brand, and it comes with a lifetime warranty! It also floats if you are out on the water. The size felt ever so slightly small when I got it, but I've grown accustomed to it now. The brims can be shaped to your liking as well as snapped up on either side if/when preferred.

Bought this for a hiking trip to the Pacific Northwest in October based on reviews. I don’t usually wear a hat when I hike but I wanted something for rain protection. Originally got the size I measured, but it seemed snug so I went up a 1/4 inch. Haven’t worn it yet, so can’t speak about how it repels water, but it does seem like it’s good quality. It also seems breathable which will be helpful if it’s humid. Received the hat quickly and the refund on the original hat went smoothly. I got the gold color and am very happy with it.

For a "silly Tilley" hat, this is perhaps one of the more casual, less "silly" looking options. Cotton canvas is fairly thick, but not super tightly woven and I generally don't find cotton hats any hotter than thinner synthetic options in the summer but YMMV. The enzyme washing process gives it a more relaxed, unstructured look than the regular T3, and the black hardware also looks far better than the bright brass of the regular T3. Yes, you could age a regular T3 to look similar, but it would require many washes to soften the structure the same way and that shiny brass hardware would take years to dull down.The problem with the enzyme washing, however, is that it seems to play havoc with the sizing. I ordered three hats -- two in 7 1/2 (Amazon wouldn't do a price adjustment after the price fell 20% overnight after my purchase so I returned one right away) and one in 7 3/8, which is my actual hat size, based on head measurement of 23". One of the 7.5 hats fit the way Tilley suggests it should -- ie. fairly loose with an ability to fit two fingers between hat and forehead after a slight pull on the front of the hat. The other 7.5 hat had clearly had more washing done to it because it looked far more faded and as a result it was like a vice clamp on my head -- far too small. The 7 3/8 hat fit a bit snug at first but soon stretched enough to loosen it to comfortably snug, which IMO is how a hat like this should fit -- not so loose it falls off your head when you lean forward, but not so tight that you feel it all the time. In that sense I disagree with Tilley's hat sizing advice. There's nothing worse than a hat that's too loose, sits low, and tends to fall off without using the straps.Beyond the apparent gamble on sizing that this pre-washed version of the hat seems to entail, I also was not overly impressed with the quality control. Crown height varied between hats by up to a half inch (one hat had a crown height that was 4" at the front and 3.5" at the back), brim width varied between all three hats by about a quarter inch (one hat had clearly unequal side-brim widths), and eyelet spacing was also a bit haphazard with each hat having at least one eyelet a bit out of alignment with the others. Overall not a huge deal I suppose, but it just adds to the feeling that you really need to buy multiples of the same hat to find one that fits properly and is put together well.

The hat I just bought was for my wife, since she's admired mine for the last 20 years. They are tough, comfortable, useful, and stylish - they are the gold standard for field hats. There is a story about an elephant trainer whose elephant snatched the hat off his head and ate it. Three times. Think that through.

Such a great hat at a great price. I have an older white one now that has lasted for close to 20 years but as it’s beginning to wear and tear, I decided to buy a new one and I’m really really glad I did. Overall, this is just a great hat. It seems to be made with the same quality that Tilley produced hats with years ago. So good to find a company that hasn’t sacrificed things and price.

I still have the first one, looks good for the age it is, and the miles its seen.

Looks like someone washed and machine dried to a wrinkled mess

This hat is great for walking as well as great for working outside

Made in Kanada (daher deutsch und französisch beschriftet), und ursprünglich für Segler gedacht: Eine Schaumstoffeinlage im "Dach" macht die Hüte schwimmfähig, und zur Befestigung gibt es eine lange Schnur, eine Art Schnürsenkel, mit zwei Schlaufen - eine fürs Kinn, und eine für den Nacken - damit das Ganze windfest ist. Will man sich den Hut um den Hals hängen, und am Rücken tragen, braucht man bloß die hintere Schlaufe ganz herauszuziehen. Die Krempe ist hinten etwas tiefer gelegt, anders als bei typischen "Booney-Hats", hat also eine Vorder- und eine Rückseite. Das bietet mehr Schutz für den Nacken vor Rückenwind und Regen. Gebrauchsanleitung; Man hält den Hut so, dass man die Beschriftung auf der Innenseite lesen kann, und setzt ihn dann auf ;-). Imprägnieren könnte man das Material, aber Wasser perlt auch so ab, und es ist sehr schwer, den Stoff nass zu bekommen.Der Hut hat innen eine Klettverschlusstasche. Netter Gag, aber ich hab drinnen z.B. meinen kleinen GPS-Logger. Innen gibt es auch ein helles Pad, wo man mit Textilstift seine Erreichbarkeiten notieren kann. Bei dem Preis lohnt sich der Glaube an ehrliche Finder :-). Die Belüftungslöcher sind sinnvollerweise oben, weil warme Luft aufsteigt, und nicht unten. Ja, da könnte es theoretisch reinregnen, theoretisch. Den Hut kann man bei tilley.com registrieren (hat eine Art Seriennummer), und erhält dann eine großzügig erweiterte Garantie. Hab ich aber nicht gemacht, weil der unkapputbar ist, und ich meine Adresse und Telefonnummer nicht hergeben wollte. Sollte ich ihn "zerstören", kann ich immer noch trotzdem versuchen, Ersatz zu bekommen: Die "Seriennummer" steht auf so einem Pappeanhänger. Die Farbe auf den Produktabbildungen ist übrigens viel zu dunkel, das ist eigentlich viel heller. Ja, und die Größe (60) passt mir mit Hutnummer 60 auch perfekt. Beim Waschen eingehen soll das nicht, ich habe aber nicht vor, ihn zu waschen.Die 60 € scheinen vielleicht heftig, aber die Qualität und die durchdachte Ausführung sind das meiner Meinung nach mehr als wert.

It’s a Tilley Hat, it won’t make you sad 👍

Entre los mejores sombreros del mundo. Calidad/precio imbatible. Cómodo y duradero (tengo uno con más de 10 años).

Nice hat, excellent quality. Not the most comfortable in the world but can live with it.

My segundo Tilley, el otro es un TLM5 Airflow, sin embargo el T3 esta fabricado en Canada, y el TLM5 bajo licencia Tilley en China aun que la etiqueta pone fabricado en Canada. Ambos están bien fabricados pero el T3 es my favorito!
