Tilley Hats have been made in Canada since 1980, when Alex Tilley searched for a durable sailing hat. Since he failed to find one that ticked all the boxes, he created it himself. Now over 40 years in business, Tilley hats and apparel are sold around the world, helping to protect people from the elements, from trekking to travelling.
Hats made by Tilley are stylish while offering protection from the sun, moisture-wicking, and durability. Some Tilley hats are guaranteed for life against normal wear and tear, faulty material, or imperfect craftsmanship. If your Tilley hat is covered under the lifetime warranty, register the hat on the company’s website within 60 days of purchase.
Update: Note that most Tilley products now note that they are ‘designed in Canada’, and there is reason to believe that they now make the majority of their products in China. Make sure to check the product page or tag information before making a purchase.
