TIPS & TRAVEL WITH ALEX

“ I was able to wear my newly acquired Tilley Shirt all day in Mexico, wash it in the shower with shampoo, dry it over the dehumidifier on a lamp in the hotel room in about 10 minutes (the cuffs and collar were a little damp) and wear it out for dinner. The AdventureCloth Pleated Pants dry overnight on a skirt hanger without fail. The Tilley Hat (I acquired it 10 years ago) is a great place to stash my room key card and cash when I’m not wearing much else. I am truly impressed with your clothing! Mexico is quite the time too!”
