What to Consider
Materials & Construction
- ·Cotton — Breathable and comfortable. Standard cotton softens with wear but may shrink. Look for ringspun or combed cotton for smoother, more durable fabric.
- ·Made by Tilley in Canada.
Longevity & Care
- ·Cotton — Machine washable. Gets softer with every wash. Tumble dry low to minimize shrinkage.
Sustainability
- ·Tilley is recognized for sustainable practices across their product line.
Cost Per Use
- ·Cotton — Cotton is affordable but has a shorter lifespan than wool or linen. Organic and ringspun cotton cost slightly more but hold up noticeably longer.
- ·Tilley is known for products that hold up over years of use — which typically means a lower cost per use than cheaper alternatives that need replacing.
- ·Priced around $100 (midpoint of $50–$150 for Accessories). At ~12 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 8 months — and falls to roughly 14¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
