Tilley
LTM5 Hat Features
|
| General |
- 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:T illeys are replaced
free if they ever wear out, shrink or fall
apart. They`re so carefully handcrafted
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.
- TIES ON IN THE WIND: The Tilley comes
with a tuckaway, adjustable, fore `n` aft
Wind Cord. When it`s calm, the Wind Cord
stays hidden in the crown. When there`s
a breeze, place the part with the sliding
knots behind your head. When it`s windy
or you`re sailing, use the chin part too.
See COMFORT above, and the Owner`s Manual,
which accompanies each Hat, for amplification.
- 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!
- REPELS RAIN: The Lighterweight Nylamtium®
Tilleys are excellent at repelling rain.
- WON`T SHRINK: They, in 1980: `Alex, you
can`t make a cotton hat that won`t shrink!`
Me: `But what if we boiled the material
first? Mercilessly preshrunk it?` They:
`Well, I guess that would work.` It did
and does.
- HYDROFIL® ANTI-SWEAT BAND: Soft and comfortable,
it picks up sweat from your forehead and
wicks it away to your temple area where
it evaporates.
- CERTIFIED SUN PROTECTION: The fabric and
style of all Tilley Hats have been certified
to block 98 percent of harmful UVA/UVB radiation
and deliver an ultraviolet factor (UPF)
of 50+, the maximum rating given. You still
need SPF 15 sunscreen and sunglasses with
UV filters! Children especially need the
UV filters in their sunglasses as non-filtering
glasses will increase the size of their
pupils, allowing even more of the damaging
UV rays to enter.
- SUNGLASSES` SECURITY: You can attach your
sunglasses to the side of your Tilley: a
Velcro tab inside the Hat holds the folded
temples of your glasses in place after you`ve
tucked the temples through the solid brass
ventilation grommets.
- SECRET POCKET: Inside the crown is a good-sized
pocket sealed with Velcro. In it, carry
your Brag Tags, I.D., toilet paper(!), license,
hotel key, £10 note, plus a 20p for an emergency
phone call.
- WASHING INSTRUCTIONS: Wash it frequently
or non-removable sweat stains will mar it
and possibly rot it. Machine or hand wash
in warm or cool water. Do not use bleach
as it remains inside the Hat, slowly rotting
it. Smooth and reshape the Hat by hand and
set it out to air dry.
- OUR GUARANTEE: If you ever succeed in
wearing out your Tilley Hat (and some have),
send us the remains and we will replace
it free. If you want to keep your faithful,
old, worn-out friend, tell us and we`ll
return it to you. We understand.
- Each hat is hand-sewn using very strong
thread; all seams are lock-stitched so they
won't unravel. The brass is from Britain
and is the best there is. All Hats are made
with such care and dedication that one is
as good as another.
- Measurements: Front of the brim: 2 5/8"
back: 2 3/4" sides: 2 1/8".
- Fabric: Handcrafted of a strong, laminated,
waterproof nylon, Tilley Nylamtium®.
