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!. The Guarantee:. Your Hat is guaranteed for life (yours, mine or its) not to wear out or fall apart. We're delighted to think that yours may be passed on to the next generation!. Insured against loss:. 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. 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 current catalogue price.. Excellent Sun Protection:. The fabric 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. Yes, Dorothy, there can be truth in advertising. For instance, although our Hats block 98% of UV rays, some rays could enter through the ventilation grommets.. Glare Protection:. Many Hats have a dark underbrim to reduce glare from water, sand and pavement.. Repels Rain:. Not perfectly but usually quite adequately. The brim channels water away for improved foul-weather protection.. Floats:. A layer of closed-cell foam in the crown, and sometimes in the brim, provides the Tilley's positive buoyancy.. Ties on:. The Tilley comes with a tuckaway, adjustable, fore 'n' aft Wind Cord.. Secret Pocket:. Inside the crown is a good-sized pocket sealed with Velcro®. In it, carry your I.D., hotel key, $10 bill (in your case, a $20), plus 50¢ for an emergency phone call.. Brag Tags:. There are 8 of these in the Secret Pocket. You'll have fun with them; they can even get you into trouble, if you wish.. 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.. Fabric:. Made from rain and mildew resistant pre-shrunk 10 oz. 100% cotton duck.The fabrics 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 30 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. This often causes cataracts and retinal problems later in life and has happened in my (Alex Tilley's) own family.Yes, Dorothy, there can be truth in advertising. For instance, although our Hats block 98% of UV rays, some rays could enter through the ventilation grommets.. Care:. Wash it frequently or non-removable sweat stains will mar it and possibly rot it. Machine wash on delicate cycle separately or hand wash in 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. When the Hat is dry, simply re-stretch it, as an American sailor showed us, by putting your knee in the crown, and pulling firmly on the opposite side.
