| The T3 Hat for Kids |
The T3 Hat for Kids is a regular T3 Hat with an added feature. We've designed an adjustable part on the sweatband which enables the Hat to fit children's heads as they grow. It's for those whose heads measure from 20 1/2" to 21 1/2".
- Guaranteed for life
- Insured against loss
- Excellent sun protection
- Repels rain
- Ties on in the wind
- Machine washable (won`t shrink)
Did you know that by age 8, most people`s heads have reached their maximum size? It`s really worthwhile to measure your child`s head before ordering this Hat. Our regular T3 Hats begin at size 6-7/8, which is (6.875 X pi) about 21-1/2 inches.
This practical Tilley Hat goes a long way to protect your child from the sun`s harmful rays.
Please see Certified Sun Protection for an important suggestion, one I wish I`d known a long time ago.

HERE'S WHY TILLEY HATS ARE ACKNOWLEDGED 'THE BEST IN THE WORLD.'
APPEARANCE AND COMFORT:
To protect you from the sun and rain, Tilleys fit lower than other hats. This also tends to give one a rather dashing appearance!
For your comfort, they're held on by gravity, not painful pressure on your forehead. On a hot muggy day, you'll especially appreciate this!
Even though they fit gently, Tilleys won't fly off because when there's a breeze, you use one or both parts of the tuckaway Wind Cord (see TIES ON below).
GUARANTEED FOR LIFE:
Tilleys are replaced free if they ever wear out, shrink or fall apart. They're so carefully handcrafted by us in Canada, and made of such strong materials, that many outlive their owners. Final words in the Owner's Manual? "Pass it on!"
INSURED AGAINST LOSS:
We understand the anguish of losing this reliable companion, or of having your dog terminally gnaw it. Should that happen, we'll replace your late, lamented Tilley at half the catalogue price.
With your Hat, you'll be provided with "The Straight-Shooter's Statement of Loss of a Tilley Hat" insurance policy. The insurance is for two years, all perils, 50% deductible, and is not issued by Lloyds.
FLOATS:
A layer of closed-cell foam in the crown, and sometimes in the brim, provides the Tilley's positive buoyancy. This is a boon to boaters and fishermen/women/people. Good grief!
People have told us that this foam layer has helped save their lives. Double your money back if it doesn't save yours. Apply personally....
TIES ON:
The Tilley comes with a tuckaway, adjustable, fore 'n' aft Wind Cord. When it's calm, the Wind Cord stays hidden in the crown. When there's a breeze, place the part with the sliding knots behind your head. When it's windy or you're sailing, use the chin part too.
See COMFORT above, and the Owner's Manual, which accompanies each Hat, for amplification.
REPELS RAIN:
Not perfectly but usually quite adequately. Happily, the brims of the cotton-duck Tilleys actually become stiffer when they get wet, not floppier, helping to protect your neck, face and glasses.
The Lighterweight Nylamtium® Tilleys are excellent at repelling rain.
WON'T SHRINK:
They, in 1980: "Alex, you can't make a cotton hat that won't shrink!"
Me: "But what if we boiled the material first? Mercilessly preshrunk it?"
They: "Well, I guess that would work."
It did and does.
HYDROFIL® ANTI-SWEAT BAND:
Soft and comfortable, it picks up sweat from your forehead and wicks it away to your temple area where it evaporates.
CERTIFIED SUN PROTECTION:
The fabric of all Tilley Hats have been certified to block 98 percent of harmful UVA/UVB radiation and deliver an ultraviolet factor (UPF) of 50+, the maximum rating given.
You still need SPF 15 sunscreen and sunglasses with UV filters! Children especially need the UV filters in their sunglasses as non-filtering glasses will increase the size of their pupils, allowing even more of the damaging UV rays to enter. This often causes cataracts and retinal problems later in life and has happened in my (Alex Tilley's) own family.
4-PAGE OWNER'S MANUAL:
You'll find it a good read. It's also available in Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. Please specify if it should be other than in English.
BRAG TAGS:
There are 8 of these in the Secret Pocket which you could have fun with. You'll be able to borrow some from your child when you run out of your own.
SUNGLASSES' SECURITY:
You can attach your sunglasses to the side of your Tilley: a Velcro® tab inside the Hat holds the folded temples of your glasses in place after you've tucked the temples through the solid brass ventilation grommets.
SECRET POCKET:
Inside the crown is a good-sized pocket sealed with Velcro®. In it, carry your Brag Tags, I.D., toilet paper(!), license, hotel key, $10 bill (in your case a 20), plus a quarter for an emergency phone call.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEAD:
As mentioned above, a Tilley Hat fits lower and more comfortably than other hats. The lower it sits, the larger at that point is one's head circumference. To find your Tilley size, simply measure around your head, just above the eyebrows. Tell us this measurement in inches or centimetres. We'll take it from there.
The T1Kid and T3Kid are designed for those whose heads measure from 20 ½’ to 21 ½”. If the head measures larger, choose from the regular hat sizes and you’ve more style options.
If you give us your head’s measurement (inches or centimetres) on the Sizing Guide on the website, we’ll give you the right size. Or refer to our Hat Sizing Chart for the easy reference to your Tilley Hat size.
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS:
Wash it frequently or non-removable sweat stains will mar it and possibly rot it. Machine or hand wash in cool water. Do not use bleach as it remains inside the Hat, slowly rotting it. Smooth and reshape the Hat by hand and set it out to air dry.
OUR GUARANTEE:
If you ever succeed in wearing out your Tilley Hat (and some have), send us the remains and we will replace it free. If you want to keep your faithful, old, worn-out friend, tell us and we'll return it to you. We understand.
Remember: Upon purchase, your Hat is covered by a two-year, all-peril, 50% deductible, Hat Insurance Policy to take the pain out of loss or irreparable damage.
MADE OF TITANIUM AND KRYPTONITE
The T3Kid Hat is created from 10-ounce (per square yard) cotton duck, a tough, soft, closely woven, mercilessly preshrunk, water-and mildew-repellent, canvas-like material.
We hand-sew each Hat using very strong thread; all seams are lock-stitched so they won't unravel. The brass is from Britain and is the best there is. All Hats are made with such care and dedication that one is as good as another. Your Tilley will be equal to that presented to a President or princess. ("Hi, Duke! How long have you had your Tilley?" could be an effective opener.)
Tilley Hats are made in Toronto, about 50 paces from my (Alex Tilley's) office. When you visit our Flagship Store, we welcome you to at least peer into our manuhattery.
There! You've just learned more than you intended as to why a "Tilley" is the best-made and most practical multi-purpose hat in the world.
Another 'World's Best'
Now, would it amuse you to learn about the most luxurious, hand-crafted book ever?
Think of it:THE FINEST BOOK THAT HAS EVER BEEN MADE!
Have a look at www.keough-art.com to see why a queen, a princess, a grand duke and a couple of princes have already collected ANTARCTICA: a limited-edition masterpiece created by my close friends, Pat and Rosemarie Keough.
Bound in the most sumptous of leathers, ANTARCTICA even smells nice! I know, as I was the first to buy a copy, and I proudly display it in my home.
An added bonus - the Keoughs' photographs are exceptional!
