Tilley TH8 Hemp Hat | Sustainable Black Band Sunhat

Tilley’s created a sunhat for the sustainable set with this TH8 Hemp Hat.

This model is much more feminine than the label’s other hemp accessories. While you’d hardly call it girly, its contrasting black band and structured brim have an elegant female-focused appeal. You can wear that brim up like the woman in the photo, or fold it down for a different look.

Hemp has a reputation for being a bit of a hippie dippy fabric, but it’s got much more than its green credentials going for it. It’s known as the strongest fiber on the planet, so you needn’t worry about this hat falling apart after exposure to harsh coastal conditions. In fact, Tilley guarantees that if your hemp hat ever fails it’ll replace it free of charge! The material also gives this hat a UPF 50 rating, the equivalent of the best sunscreens on the market.

Folks with heads on either side of the spectrum will also be pleased to see Tilley doesn’t ascribe to the standard one size fits all approach. This hemp hat is available in small to extra large, so there should be one to suit your noggin.

At $84 this hat costs more than many seemingly similar ones, but its high quality material and flexible sizing helps us justify the splurge.
