French 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   This French style pith helmet is the original design from Vietnam. A hundred years ago, the French discovered the advantages of the material used to make these hats. The pith is from trees in northern Vietnam and has properties that make it both a good sun and rain shield. These helmets are handmade in Vietnam using the techniques inherited by the former French occupiers.   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. 4 1/2" Crown 2 3/4" Front and Back Brim 2 1/2" 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   Sizes: S/M fits sizes 6 7/8 (S) to 7 1/4 (L); L/XL* fits sizes 7 1/4 (L) to 7 1/2 (XL); adjusts via a hook and loop ending to the interior sweatband. *Size L/XL was previously sold as the "Big Head" version of this style prior to consolidation.   For Bulk/Wholesale purchase of this hat, CLICK HERE or call 1-888-847-4287.
