There's nothing like a old hat so here's mine

A few of us have Tarp hats Harry. Yours though is a particularly nice looking example.

Very nice Harry.

Never seen those before, but they look great. Will need to investigate them. A nice addition to my Barmah for the future maybe?!!
Really like yours, great patina.

A fine titfer. I have a tarp hat and it is worthy of mention that no two are the same.

Wore mine once, got soaked as they are about as waterproof as a newspaper. Haven't worn it since.

One XL tarp hat free to a good home.

Dave... Try one of these, it's a Failsworth Drifter, they are waxed cotton and are very good...
I'm on my second, the first one is looking a tad tatty after 3 years as it was hardly ever off my head, so a new one was purchased...!

I have a couple of titfers Harry, one for the dry and one for the wet. Mind you, I need a smart one for walking the dog.

Used mine for a couple of years Dave winter and summer and it doesn't leak. It lasted a winter of roaming the rivers before the first drops seeped through, I reproofed it with Fabsil paint on and it lasted a long while before the next seep through started.

Looks like you got a bad one - I love mine. we have shared some special times.
