I Like It

I've got a similar oilskin in the Filson Tin Packer. The Willis is constructed with quality material. The brim is nice and stiff. The chin strap is thick and is great for stormy weather. I wear a 7 & 1/2, the L size hat fits well. I think the pictures will say it better. The one complaint maybe is that the single layer sides appears to let a lot of light shine through. I'm not sure how well it will protect from UV or hold up long term. Overall though it feels rugged, and seems like it will last a long time.

Almost Ideal

Hi Folks:

I'm very happy with the Willis model; it's almost exactly what I wanted. Even in September as things are beginning to cool, I'm finding I sweat a lot. Perhaps simply getting a mesh model for warmer weather will be the answer! A minor comment is that I would prefer that the crown be a bit more firm/rigid for appearance, but then again, it wouldn't be crushable as advertised.

Love My Outback Oilskin Hats

This is the 4th oilskin hat I have gotten, love everyone of them. I got the Willis Mesh hat a few moths ago and really liked the size and feel of it so I decided to get the Regular Willis. The one thing that I was not expecting with this hat is the crown is like a deflated ballon. It is very limp and will not stand up. That hat itself is well made but had I known the crown wouldn't stand up I may not have gotten it. Nothing g wrong with the hat just my personal preference. I have 2 River Guide hats and the crowns on them are stiff and supported as well as the Willis Mesh, just assumed the Regular Wills would be like the others.

The perfect hat!

Great fit, looks good, easy to travel, waterproof and a good size brim for shade. It checks all the boxes. Thanks.

Tough Hat

Visiting Seattle on a rainy fortnight… ordered it and wore it a few days later. It’s my third Outback hat, and they’re all HIGH QUALITY.
