A word on the Tilley Hat
by Josh Staiger
Before we go any further, I wanted to say a few words about my Tilley Hat. Actually, I'll let the hat do the talking. From the inside flap:
Insured against loss, Guaranteed for life(replaced free if it ever wears out)
It floats, ties on, repels rain, blocks UV rays, and won't shrink. It comes with eight 'brag tags' in the security pocket plus a four-page owner's manual.
Durable nylon; the best british brass hardware; hydrofoil headband for superb anti-sweat comfort; handcrafted with Canadian persnicktiness.
First notice that the Tilley people use words like "Canadian persnickitiness". Mmmm sexy.
Secondly, it's a hat with an instruction manual. These days most software doesn't even come with an instruction manual. That's how badass this hat is.
If you don't have one, let me know if you want one for your birthday.
