TilleyUnisex T3 Wanderer Hat (Khaki, 7 7/8)

I took this hat to North Carolina/OBX in July. Temps were in the low 90's and humidity was 65%. This hat was comfortable, breathable and held strong in the wind. The rear cord held the hat in place and the chinstrap was not necessary. The brim is flexible but stays straight in 15+ mph winds. Other people on the beach had their hat brims flapping in their faces and this hat did not move. The hat fit was spot on per the Tilly sizing video.Hat washed up really well. I have washed it three times in the last week. I wore it in the ocean and it was covered in salt. I wore it the pool and it was covered in chlorine once it dried. A mild warm water rinse was all that was needed to reshape and clean the hat after the ocean and pool. I agree that this is a great, well designed hat. It also dried very quickly, I left it inside to dry and outside in the sun (North Carolina) and outside in the shade (Arizona). I live in Phoenix, AZ where the temps are 111.F degrees today. This hat works well in humidity and dry temps in AZ.

Expensive but worth it. Really well made.

I bought the T3 Wanderer Hat with some trepidation only because the color is dark green. Under our Florida blast furnace; aka sun, light colors mean a cooler head. At the worst case I'd use it as a winter hat. I liked the wide brim to protect my hearing aides from rain and the front and back head strap for wind. All cotton, It does a amicable job of cooling, however, nothing but air conditioning can get you through a Florida summer. The Tillley is the most comfortable hat I own by far. I doubt the company has had to replace any hat on the life long warranty.

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.

Best hat for hiking, very stylish and heavy duty for work, I highly recommended

Very sad. The description said to add two cm.And, because of that, it was to big

I love this hat. The brim is big but not too wide. The brim is floppy, has a touch of hold but not much. The hat is made of very thick cloth, and well made, should last forever.

Works exactly as advertised.

Me encantó!! La tela con el que está hecho es de gran calidad. Me gustó tanto que me compraré otro. Las medidas son exactas y me quedó muy bien.

El sombrero llegó rápido y en buen estado bien empacado pedi 7 1/4 y me quedo justo esperaba me quedara un poco holgado pero viene reducida la talla lo estire y dio un poco de si espero con el tiempo afloje un poquito más, pidan una o dos tallas más grandes del tamaño de su medida para que les quede mejor lo demás todo bien 100% recomendable.

It was folded up in the package so it has a pretty bad crease in it. I’m hoping it will iron out. Other than that minor issue it is good so far.

Washed it with dish washing soap and it still looks great.

Fast delivery fits perfect
