Brynie Utz Hat Store Seattle

Richard needed a new Tilley Hat for our uncruise departing from Seattle tomorrow. We walked over to Brynie Utz, a very fine hat store in downtown Seattle. Jammed with hats, there was something for everyone in the huge inventory. 

Jim, getting interested in the Tilley replacement policy. If you lose your hat,they send you a new one for 50% off. What actuary figured out the odds of losses occurring? Tilley is a Canadian company and they've been around for a while, so their business model works for them. This will be Richard's second or third Tilley. He did lose one in Israel and Tilley replaced it. The hats are proclaimed to have been "handcrafted with Canadian persnickety ness."

 

Look at all the hat boxes! There's gotta be one that will fit Richard.

Is this the perfect Stella hat? Not quite.

No Jim...it's not you. What bathroom would you use while wearing it?

We advised Richard to get away from the pith helmets and back to the Tilleys.

The black Tilley was not thrilling me until the excellent hat sales man added the red hatband.

Four happy customers.
