I have a friend who manages a Marine Supply business. It changed a couple of years ago but until then the largest boat Show that they would participate in every year was in Las Vegas. From his stories, he certainly encountered a lot of "liquids" but water certainly wasn't one of them.

Check out today's home page for amazon.com. Lots of Tilley hats for sale. I've had a cheaper version of one of these hats for several years. I didn't realize it was a tilley hat. I wear it on sunny days when I mow the yard.

I have a friend who manages a Marine Supply business. I bet he sells a lot of chewing tobacco.

Some years ago, my first Tilley survived being run over by a Toronto streetcar (trolley). Cleaned up and was as good as new.
The early models were too hot in the summer. I think there are newer models that are made with less heavyweight duck material that should be cooler in hot weather. I haven't checked those out.
I hope your new Tilley works out.
Regards,
Alan The Tilley hat I got is called the "AirFlo Max" or something along those lines and is made of lightweight cotton with nylon mesh at the top for ventilation. It is quite cool on warm days and I wore it for 8 days while in Mexico and had no problems with heat.

I have a friend who manages a Marine Supply business. I bet he sells a lot of chewing tobacco. Hahah ! Actually, most of his customers are very expensive powerboat customers and lobster fishermen here are some of the wealthiest people around. They have had the odd tough year lately but when I was growing up, having a Dad or Grandfather who would leave you his lobster license was as good as winning a lottery.
