Tilley 'Pumpkin' shade

I got one of these reproduced shades not long ago and thought others may like to see.

It takes the heat surprisingly well too.



Also good on other models,

@Anthony

Where did you get the shade?

Tony

 

Nice - shame they're in Oz otherwise I'd have had a few...

 

From one of the Taiwan boys.

Am I allowed to say ??

A few more to make you all even more jealous.

 

@Anthony

Unless it's an auction, I don't see why you can't post who you bought it off.

But you can PT me...

Cheers

Tony

 

It looks fine!

 

@Anthony,

Me too.

Thanks, Anthony - $82US...

 

Or £65. I hope this includes shipping.

Just checked the exchange rate here:
Currency converter and NT$800 works out at £20.47 !

What material has been used Anthony?

 

Jean, I have no idea.
It has a texture on the outside and is smooth on the white inside.
I see they say plastic on the web page but it has more of a paper feel to it than plastic.
It sounds like a toy drum when you tap it.

 

Sounds like parchment / vellum to me
