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.
The African Safari Pith Helmet is made from the core (pith) of trees that grow in northern Vietnam. They are handmade one piece at a time. This helmet, like all other pith helmets we carry, is incredible lightweight as the 4-ply wood interior has a low density (similar to balsa wood). Featuring a dark khaki cotton twill with a stylish cream pleated hat band, the African Safari Pith Helmet is ready for adventure!
Please Note: Pith helmets can be immersed in water, whereby the wearer stays cool during use on hot summer days. When wet the hat may become a bit softer, but then dries to its original state. Please submerge the outside of the helmet carefully, without allowing water to spill into the interior of the helmet.

I’m so glad I splurged and bought an authentic pith helmet instead of the cheap molded straw ones you find elsewhere. There is no denying that it’s the real deal when you see it in person. Yes, I can nitpick this hat to death for imperfections, but I also think that the imperfections are part of it’s handmade charm. If you are bothered by visible glue spots on the lining and slightly less than perfect surfaces on the outside, you may not like this hat. Or, you can just accept that these are handmade, not machine made, with simple materials. It makes for a great conversation piece if you research the history of pith helmets, since you are unlikely to see your average person wear one unless they’re a postal delivery worker. If you are okay with the above, I say, buy one!
The extra bonus is that I think I look pretty dang cute wearing it!
Great hand made pith helmet, very comfortable light and great to keep the sun off.
These pith helmets are the real deal. Lightweight, made with traditional materials in Vietnam (wood pulp and cotton covers), they vent well, and offer good sun protection. It's no wonder why the French and English soldiers used them. Thank you, Village Hat Shop for helping to keep this craftsmanship alive and supporting this industry in Vietnam.
The safari hat I am very happy with it, no complaints.
