Re: [Philmont]: Tilley Hats

Tilly Hats comes with "brag" tags, is this a mistake? I always heard that it
isn't "bragging" if it is true and I don't know of anything that would cause
me to doubt the stories about Tilly Hats.

Tilly Hats may be a bit expensive for a scout, but for a Scouter, it may
make a nice gift.

I enjoy mine.

just a few thoughts on Tilly Hats.

just a sly fox, and remember, my opinion and $ will buy coffee at the
trading post
