hello all, I'm excited to have found this forum! I love my Tilley (LTM Airflo 5) and the workmanship behind it. I would like to add a cape / neck flap to my hat. Ideally it would be one that could be furled or unfurled, depending on need. When I do manage to find one online, it's always Out of Stock. I'm wondering if you might suggest where I can buy one? Do you know if Tilley still manufactures and sells them? If it's discontinued, why would Tilley make that choice? As an alternative, I wonder if anyone has tried a DIY version? Any thoughts would be welcome. Many thanks in advance  |

You raise an excellent point and one I’ve been thinking about recently.
i have yet to do any research into available products along these lines but I’ve been thinking that something that could be attached to the brim via magnets would be ideal.
It Would be easy enough to make at home if there aren’t already a dozen similar products available.
Post up if you find something that works

When you wrote that, "It Would be easy enough to make at home if there aren’t already a dozen similar products available," did you mean that you know of a dozen neck capes that attach by magnets and which are already available for purchase on the world wide web? I ask, because it sounds like a great idea, and I'd love to view one. In 'theory' it sounds easy enough to construct at home, just not by me. I have two left hands with such matters. |

I have simple home made capes on several of my Tilleys I can post pics of my caped hats , definitely, would love to see them! I'm also wondering whether people have thoughts on whether it's best to attach a neck cape from the top exterior, or from the inside of the hat, closer to the neck? |
