Tilley Endurables TH5 Hemp Hat

Product Description

Up for sale is an authentic, vintage Tilley Endurables TH5 Hemp Hat in a classic faded Mocha/Brown colorway. Handcrafted in Canada in 2004 (MMIV), this highly collectible piece represents the golden era of Tilley manufacturing before production shifted overseas.

Crafted from incredibly durable, certified 11-oz hemp fabric, this hat is engineered to be tougher than cotton, naturally mildew-resistant, and highly breathable. It features Tilley’s iconic medium, down-sloping brim silhouette, offering excellent sun and rain protection with a rugged, broken-in character.

The interior features the complete, original archival "Brag Tag" with Alex Tilley’s signature, the hidden security pocket, and the dual wind-cord system. If you appreciate old-school, Canadian-made quality that genuinely lasts a lifetime, this TH5 is an absolute classic.

Condition Report

This hat is in excellent vintage condition. The 11-oz hemp fabric has softened beautifully with age and shows a nice, authentic wash-wear patina along the seams, giving it a classic, broken-in look. The British brass grommets are perfectly intact with minor, natural oxidation typical of vintage Tilley hardware. The interior labels are perfectly legible, crisp, and clean. No tears, stains, or structural damage.
