Tilley is the premiere in utility-type hats. I've bought three for me dad, and he loves them all. They are also guaranteed for life and come with a certificate. If you lose it or it gets eaten by your dog, they will replace for half the purchase price. You can't go wrong with Tilley. My Dad is always wearing one of his, and he's opted the Tilleys over his usual variety of cowboy hats (he's a rancher/farmer and has many straw and felt). He doesn't leave home without one. I even bought him a winter wool one.
