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.
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.
4 1/2" crown.
3" front brim.
3 1/4" back brim.
2 1/2" side brims.
Cotton poplin sweatband.
Color: Desert Camouflage.
Size: Adjustable. Fits up to size 7 3/8" comfortably.
(Adjustable via a Velcro-like ending on the interior sweatband. [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.]
