Lots of people ask me about my Tilley Hat.

1) Where did you get it? (www.Tilley.com in Canada)?
2) Why did you start wearing it? Really, have you seen my hairstyle! The first day in Israel without one and my head looked like a red beet.
3) What style do you like? Wide brim with air vent around the crown. Either the dark blue or dark green.
4) Do you go anywhere without it? Nope. It is my cheap toupee 🙂
5) Should I get one? Yup, join the exclusive club.

    At the rate the hairs are dropping off my head, I may have to join the club! But I look ok in my Trinity college ball cap from our Ireland trip, so that will do for now! First Jones Fedora I ever bought was 25ish years ago at Disney when we took the kids there, but it was felt. Beat the heck out of it and it still looked good over the years. Darn thing blew off my boat some years back – a sad day. Some fish has a warm cubby. That’s a lot of things to do with one hat! Pretty cool! Greg

    Hi! Steve,
    Your hat made it easy to spot you on our recent pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Don’t ever get rid of it.
    Hope to join you again on another pilgrimage. I am still processing the entire experience and all the important information you and Amer gave us. It was the trip of a lifetime and I thank you for it.
    God Bless you and Janet
    JoAnne
