I've just got a the T3 in Khaki - a present from my mum when I decided to stop wearing baseball caps.... I've done the tenner thing in the top 'gag' a few times but it only seems to stay in there for a day or two normally lasts until we are going past a pub on a walk and my son loves the story about the elephant keeperTilley are an issue... I suffer from T+1
As with bikes they have specific uses, the ventilated summer hat, the tweed winter hat heavy duty for canal boats etc and the lightweight for daily use
Just had another look at that link it would have to be a..... TWF5 in grey.... exactly what I want, even the colour but I don't think I could justify it.... no I can't..... Definitely not, never ever...... It wouldn't be off Mrs V and Little-un anyway...... so I'll probably stick with the black River Island one and maybe upgrade to the Tilley if I wear it enough........ and you know that Tilley do a range of Fedoras?
What a fab wesite... the site just oozes class... but whilst they had what I wanted (a crushable fedora in grey) alas it was out of my league.... for the time being.... perhaps If I wear a cheaper one reguarly, Mrs V might (only might) take pity......I have three Tilleys (and a fourth on the way - but don't tell Mr R). I've also got a couple of fedoras, two Panamas and a Stetson.
For those who like hats I can recommend Laird Hatters.
Looks great. I'm sure you'll wear it well.Ha! Found it just sent a rather un-subtle link to Mrs V's email...... River Island Do a grey one in little-un's/Mrs V's budget

This is already my second 'serious' hat (I'm not including baseball caps obviously that may still be about) a Tilley being the original but may get a different coloured fedora if I like the look ..... I think Mrs V crumbled as Little-un has took to wearing a rather fetching blue check trilby we found on holiday....Looks great. I'm sure you'll wear it well.
Be careful of the hat version of N+1 though, before you know it you'll "need" a couple of different colours and styles.

I'm just wondering what my bro will say the first time he sees me wearing it.... he's a partner in a law firm so has a great line in sarcasm/irony and general p**s taking......
