Retired semi-pro baseball player, railroad engineer and general tough character Stormy lost a few too many hats to the icy wind whipping through his locomotive.
On a cold morning in 1903, Stormy asked his beloved wife, Ida, to help him modify one of his many hats from his baseball days by sewing ear flaps on the thing. The newly revised cap also featured a soft flexible visor. It was a great departure from the traditional engineer hats of the era. But to Stormy, the best part of his modified cap was that it managed to stay right where it belonged, on his head and in high winds.
And that’s it. That's where it all began.

Alex Tilley's need for a proper sailing hat led to the unintended creation of the best such hat in the world,
over 25 years ago. His gratitude goes out to those who appreciated the qualities of the first ’Tilley’.
This encouragement evolved into his ongoing passion to provide travellers with endurable clothing that allows
their focus to be on ’the adventure’, rather than the rigour's of life on the go.
Tilley hats elegant and stylish designs are suitable for any occasion.
