  I've been wearing a Tilley for years (currently have three) having bought
my first one in Buffalo in 1991. That hat went everywhere with me and has
always protected my ever thinning pate. After 18 years of wear it finally
started coming apart at the seams. Remembering their lifetime guarantee I
boxed it up and returned it to Tilley. A week later a brand new Tilley hat
appeared in my mail box; delivered Express! They also returned my old hat.
Best experience of good customer support I've ever had.
