Could just be me, but I bought a Tilly when someone told me they were
the best dang hat in the entire world. I measured carefully as directed
by Tilly and ordered my hat. It came and the first time I washed it, it
shrank just like any other hat would shrink.
Under Tilly's guarantee, they sent me another one. Same thing when
washed. It shrank. Both hats are sitting up in the closet unused any
longer. I know I could complain again to Tilly, but for me anyway, two
times was enough.
I don't know, it must be something I'm doing wrong, but for me, the
"Tilly Experience" hasn't been all that good :-)

You have to either wear the hat as it is drying, or get a hat form, adjusted
to the size of your head.

Then, try catching a fly, to see how they land! g

I'll have to check the instructions. I don't remember seeing that; just
that the hat wouldn't shrink when washed. I even called Tilly on their
800 number and they didn't say to wear the hat while it dries. Sounds
like a good plan however, although the thought of wearing a wet hat
isn't up there with getting stranded on an island with Raquel Welch by a
long shot!! :-)

Are you kidding? My hat would fall off :-))

Ahh... I was thinking the very same thing. We're getting to know this "new"
Mont-Paul pretty well, hey?!

As for the above... I've never kept track of how many OSH's I've attended,
nor how many in a row.

I'll be there Wednesday for the HOPS party, then again probably Sat and Sun.

Miles? 60
Mode? car
Hat? Yep
Houseing? Home

Will be there Saturday for the Wisconsin Air National Guard. Look for the
short fat guy sweating in the flight suit. I'll be hanging around the F-16
and KC-135.

Just got back from PIA where the Wis Air National Guard was doing instrument
approaches and touch and goes with several KC135's. We were issued an
immediate departure while one came in on the crossing runway, then issued an
immediate 135 degree right turn to stay out of the downwind leg where a
second KC135 was flying his pattern. Head on a swivel!

Actually, a baseball cap is the worst possible choice for OSH. Your
ears will be little stubs of charcoal after three days, if you don't
protect 'em.

Don't ask me how I learned this...

My first few years at OSH I made ALL the mistakes, including:

- Shorts, and no sunscreen
- Insufficient water
- Bad shoes
- Dark-colored hats
- Baseball caps
- Drinking beer you could see through...

The horrorl...
