I was confused about whether a particular hat was in stock (it was my mistake) and I emailed Tula. The same day I received a response from Alice, Tula’s president. She kindly explained when that hat would be back in stock. I ordered a different Tula hat and it arrived only 2 days later, and I live over 1000 miles away in Florida. Amazing service. The hat (Sierra) is high quality, looks great and fits perfectly. I am impressed by the quality and the service from the head of the company to the shipping department. I will buy another style in the near future.

Excellent hat….been getting the same style ever 5 to 6 years…

I've worn Tula hats for years. And different models in addition to the Sierra. My understanding is that the Sierra is the design and favorite of one of the family/business patriarchs. The Sierra has some healthy fedora genes. I wear Tulas in the field. Mine are working tools. I do a lot of hiking and camping in the desert southwest. They're not straw, which usually offers little to no protection from the direct, radiated heat of the sun. Tulas are palm. As such, they are densely woven and opaque. They unfailingly protect me from the sun. They're durable, really good looking, and are sold at a decent price. I wear no other kind of hat for the purpose of wide-brimmed protection from the sun and other elements. In town, it's a Panama, of course.

Been wearing this hat for over 20 yrs.

I had a Sierra Hat for 16 yrs- fit and style was great! I got so many compliments and took it with me anywhere I traveled. Sadly I lost it in the Gulf when a large wave crashed over me and pulled it off my head--I was hoping it would resurface but it never did. So I am hopeful I'll get another 16yrs + on this new one.
