This Indian style pith helmet, a.k.a. the Bombay Bowler, is the most popular pith helmet style in North America. These hats are made from the cork, or pith, of trees from northern Vietnam using techniques developed 100 years ago by the French during their occupation. The helmet is functional in both sunny and rainy weather.
Color: Khaki, as pictured.
Size: Adjustable via a Velcro-like ending on the interior genuine leather sweatband.
The helmet has a crown that measures 7 inches high.The front brim is 2 1/4 inches as the back measures 2 1/2 inches.Both sides measure 2 inches.
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.
