"....remaining and obedient colony", eh? I always thought we were the
51st state. Everyone has different perceptions.

Tilley hats are Canadian - if one believes the company web site.

Why is the Tilley considered to be such a British and/or Australian
icon? Mine plainly says it's made in Canada, which, of course, is one of
the few remaining and obedient colonies. So, is its origin really "over
there" and the ones we get here mere colonial imitations?

And how to look silly in a Tilley? My wife insists on wearing hers when
I've got the top down on the SSR or the T-tops out of the Z. Yes, she's
Irish, fair-skinned and unfreckled, but it just looks silly, and she has
to cinch up the strap thingy to keep it from blowing off at speed and
insists on holding onto it with both hands when we exceed 100mph.
Top-down time is baseball cap time, and not worn backwards either. If I
didn't love her, I'd leave her home. The stuff we have to put up with!
Anyway, she's a decent navigator.
