Thanks dkr - I used the Tilley website instructions, duh. Really - I am normally sharper than that. I also noticed that Gander Mountain carries them so I went there and tried some on. It is a sweet hat. Not sure how cool it would actually be.

The hat I wear now is a Filson with a leather head band. That sounds uncomfortable I know. You would be surprised at how very well the leather headband works. It does not absorb sweat and my head never seems to drip much sweat when I am wearing it. Poor old thing - it has no shape and is very worn and stained. Its been through the washer a hundred times. The dog peed on it once. (Do not get in his line of fire!) It has been used wipe up just about everything. Crushed and shoved in the pack. It has swatted flies and covered my head for almost 10 years. I might put it on gear swap so keep your eyes open - it will be priced to move.

I think I will try the Tilley LTM6. It appears to be pretty solid- and stylish.
