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 techniques inherited by the former French occupiers.

Front and back brim measure 2 3/4", and both sides measure 2 1/2".

The crown is 4 1/2 inches high.

Color: Khaki and White.

Size: Adjustable by way of a Velcro-like ending to the interior cotton sweatband. The standard helmet fits comfortably up to 7 1/4. If a 7 3/8 or above, we suggest the Big Head version of this helmet.

[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.]

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.
