stan phelps tilley hatI was in Key West last month speaking at PRSA Counselor’s Academy. I had the opportunity to buy a hat at Lippy’s Hot Hats on Duval Street in town. Not just an ordinary hat. A Tilley.

What’s special about a Tilley?

A guarantee is one of the 12 different types of Purple Goldfish. Here is Tilley’s:

If your Tilley Hat ever wears out, mail it to them with $7.50 to cover shipping and they’ll replace the hat for free. 

A little extra for insurance. If for some reason you lose your hat within the first two years, Tilley offers a two-year, all perils insurance policy. You just pay the 50% deductible base on the current catalogue price. It doesn’t matter if the hat is lost, stolen, or destroyed. They’ll replace it no questions asked.
