Product Reviews

Customers praised this durable cotton hat for "excellent quality" and sun protection. Many noted it's "comfortable," lightweight, and lasts years with proper care. Shoppers said "unbelievable price" and "great service." However, some mentioned sizing inconsistencies between sizes. Overall, highly recommended for long-term outdoor use.

  • Great hat, unbelievable price!
  • Used it all the time in the sun. Lasted years. Scrunched it up, washed it many times.
  • Not heavy and worn in hot sunshine works well keeping your head protected, yet comfortable.

Had one for years. Used it all the time in the sun here and abroad. Lasted years. Scrunched it up, washed it many times. Loved it. Found a small hole in it this year but, as I had forgotten to register it, couldn’t get a free replacement from Tilley! So bought one from here. It will see me out. Registered this one.

Tilley T5

I have had several Tilley hats over the years and they are good for shading an old man's head! This one had a loose cotton thread so I had to cut it off as I was concerned abou it unravelling some of the stiching.

Excellent hat

T5 is my second Tilley hat, the other a T3 14 years old still going strong but I wanted a hat with a smaller brim for a future holiday to NZ. T5 fits perfectly, not heavy and worn today in hot sunshine works well in keeping your head protected, yet comfortable. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Tilley T5 and New Forest Clothing for great service and sensible pricing.
