British Pith Helmet

Please Note: Due to the handmade nature of Pith Helmets, be advised there might be minor imperfections in the construction of the hat. These imperfections do not hinder the look or wear of the helmet.    Made in Vietnam   "Dr Livingston, I presume?" This pith helmet style (also known as UK Pith Helmet) is associated with British colonial and foreign service history. It is made from trees grown in the northern part of Vietnam. The material can sustain heavy sunlight as well as rain. When wet the hat may become a bit softer, but then dries to its original state. The Vietnamese learned the art of pith helmet manufacturing a hundred years ago from the French during their occupation.   Please Note: Pith helmets can be immersed in water, whereby the wearer stays cool during use on hot summer days. Please submerge the outside of the helmet carefully, without allowing water to spill into the interior of the helmet.   Approx. 5 3/4" Crown 2 7/8" Front Brim 3" Back Brim 1 3/4" Side Brims   Made of:  100% Genuine Pith   Handmade Cotton Twill Exterior Composite Leather Decorative Strap Size Adjustable Inner Harness Cotton Poplin Lining Lightweight Dunk in Water to Keep Cool   Size(s): S/M fits up to size 7 1/8 (M); L/XL fits up to size 7 5/8 (XL); adjusts via a hook and loop ending to the interior sweatband.   For Bulk/Wholesale purchase of this hat, CLICK HERE or call 1-888-847-4287.
