02Is the stone colored hat made in Canada?+
For all that I know, yes. They (Tiley hats) are all made in Canada. And they are exceptional. No comparison possible to any other brand. Have been using them for more than 30 years now... they just last last last... Comfortable, UV protection, lifetime guaranty... is there anything else you would want?
03I have two other Tilley hats that spring back into shape easily. This one arrived looking very crumpled and creased. Does it need ironing?+
No ironing! Just put it on. If the brim is wrinkled, it should eventually straighten out.I wear my Tilley when we go out to eat, and often, in the restaurant, I just put my Tilley on the chair and then sit on it. When I put it on later, it still looks good.
04Is this hat crushable and packable ?+
Yes, pack it, no worries.
