Default Wear a hat

...Tilley wearer--after too many sunscreen-free years of youthful
exuberance


LTM6 Airflo on order as I type... What's your model?


I've had a Tilley T3 for many years now but the color Tilley
calls "natural" is actually white and the last thing I want
to wear while trying to be stealthy is a white hat, so I use
it only while paddling or fishing from the canoe, never while
stream fishing. On the stream I wear a baseball cap. Or rather
I used to wear a baseball cap. Frank's post has generated two
Tilley hat orders, mine is the TH4 Hemp in Mocha. I wonder if
Tilley will pay Frank a commission ? ;-)


I have a Tilley but don't wear it whilst fishing as the brim droops
when I put on the mag-eyes magnifiers. I wrote to Tilley about this.
Maybe we could get a letter writing campaign to have them make an "old
fogey fly fisherman's special."
