I've got to stop hanging around here and online marketplaces. Here's my second used Tilley in as many weeks, a model I hadn't even known about before the sales ad appeared. This is a Tilley TO54 in a white colour, it had yellowed considerably and smelled of cigarettes but a good long soak with oxi-clean nd drying in the sunshine seems to have cleaned it up. It isn't made of cotton duck, perhaps a cotton-hemp blend? If anyone knows anything about this model such as dates of manufacture or materials or colours it came in I'd appreciate an update. |

Great snag! This model was released in 2013. Based on the available colors in 2013, I’d say yours is from later. Check the tags for a 4 digit number that looks like month and year.  Attachments:

Nice job on the cleanup!!!! I have to ask, how many Tilley Hats do you have now? LOL |

... It isn't made of cotton duck, perhaps a cotton-hemp blend?... Should have read the inside label instead of just taking a picture of it. "Made from 78% organic cotton and 22% hemp." So that answers that question. |

... Check the tags for a 4 digit number that looks like month and year. The tag with the 4 digit number reads "0116", would that be January 2016? Attachments:

I have to ask, how many Tilley Hats do you have now? LOL Hmmm...let's see my first was a TH3 Hemp Mocha snap up, then a T3 in yellow, a LTM5 in light blue, a T1 in a gold colour, last weeks T3 khaki and this weeks T054 Orbit. That's six all together. |
