I've worn Tilley hats before, when I used to work as a gardener. And while I have absolutely no complaints about their durability or quality, most of the colours/shapes didn't really suit my tastes. A bit too "camper" and not urban enough for my personal liking. But this one, with its vivid red (which in person has a very mild purple tinge to it, almost "maroon" coloured) is much bolder, and it's a great splash of colour if you have clothing to match it. It works best with neutrals, or matching reds. In these bizarre times when we're being antagonized by our neighbours to the south, I decided to support a Canadian company by purchasing something made from start to finish in Canada! It's turned a couple heads in a positive way so far. I'll definitely be wearing this for most of the year! As for the durability or "functionality" of the hat, I can't say anything that hasn't already been said by reviewers on other Tilley product pages. This thing is darn near indestructible.
My advice though: BEFORE you buy this particular hat online, go to a local store that sells Tilley hats (Cabela's/Bass Shop Pro) and try some T1 hats on to see what size you actually need. The first one I ordered was way too tight on my head. So I had to send it back and get one two sizes bigger, since I have a rather large head. Worth the wait though. I love my new hat!
