Due to the handmade nature of the Pith Helmets, please be advised that there may be some minor imperfections in the construction of the hat. These imperfections should not hinder the look or the wear of the helmet. Price Per Hat: $15.90
We made these at the special request of a Boy Scout troop for the Boy Scouts Jamboree, 2005. They came out so well that we added the helmet to our regular line. It is the same style as our regular French Pith Helmet, but with the camouflage cover that you see in the image. Size: Adjustable by way of a Velcro-type closure at the tail of the sweatband. The crown is 7 inches high, the front and back brim measure 3 inches and both sides measure 2 3/4 inches in length. Color: Desert Camo as per the image. These pith helmets come 12 to a carton. A B2B puchase requires that this hat be bought in increments of 12 units. The price per helmet is $15.90 each (We retail this hat for $28.95. See our Pith Helmets section for purchasing of single hats.) 12 helmets at 15.90 per helmet equals $190.80. Entering 1 (one) at the shopping cart means that you are purchasing one carton of 12 helmets and paying $190.80. )
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 made in Vietnam using the technigues inherited by the former French occupiers. This style has the biggest brim, about 2 3/4 inches, and is thus arguably the most functional. [I FIELD TESTED THIS HAT IN THE ANZA-BORREGO DESERT. AFTER ARRIVING AT A DESERT OASIS, I DUNKED THE HAT FULLY INTO THE WATER. THE PITH MATERIAL RETAINED THE WATER FOR A TIME WHILE I HIKED BACK TO THE TRAIL HEAD. THE COOLING EVAPORATION OF THE WATER ON THE HAT WAS DELIGHTFUL. WHEN DRY, THE HAT RETAINED ITS STIFFNESS AND SHAPE.]
