Gordon's Tilley Downunder
"Attached is a photo of my Tilley hat that has finally DIED.......The Hat has traveled thousands of miles starting when all the crew of the yacht were supplied with Tilley hats for a Sydney to Hobart yacht race in which I was the sailing master.
I'm now the senior crewman (coxwain) on our new rescue boat based in Sorrento Melbourne, and this week the hat finally gave up the ghost and came away at the band.
So it's very sad, that I will have to finally lay to rest my beloved hat.
I cannot recommend the hat enough, thanks for a great product.

Editor: A happy ending .... Tilley Hats are replaced free if they wear out. Gordon's new Tilley is pictured "in action down under".
The inset photo is of a training exercise with their HEMS Helicopter, performing winch rescue training.
