Fashionable Performance Headwear

This New Collection of Tilley Hats Marries Style with Function

— October 26, 2017 — Fashion
This new collection of Tilley hats takes the brand's classic, outdoorsy aesthetic to new heights with a fresh dose of style.

The brand's 'Tec-Wool Ball Cap' marries style with performance, and is "equipped with a c_change™ technology membrane which opens when the outside temperature rises, and close again when the temperature drops." Its 'Tec-Wool Cap' is another crowd favorite thanks to its lightweight and waterproof construction, and a set of adjustable ear flaps that can be brought down during cool weather to enhance the accessory's seasonal appeal.

Another Tilley style gaining attention is the 'Montana Fedora' which is a sophisticated take on a more rugged accessory. The hat boasts a structured shape while offering a unisex, versatile, and elegant look.

Recently teaming up to sponsor Toronto's Invictus Games -- an event celebrating wounded warrior athletes -- Tilley embodies quality and performance, while pushing to appeal to a more fashion-forward demographic. Additionally, the brand's collaborations with local Canadian influencers have been instrumental in boosting its visibility among Millennials.
