A Superb Bombay Bowler (5/5) | Aug 12, 2011 | Andrew | VA US |
| A pith helmet that fits my head and my eccentric taste. Lightweight, comfortable, and perfect for almost any hot/sunny weather outdoor activity. Don't let any negative reviews discourage any of you looking for a decent pith helmet. This pith is the real deal, no "el cheapo". Though if only they had a big head version of their "British[UK] style pith helmet...I can only dream. | ||||

This hat is classy and epic (5/5) | Sep 10, 2009 | Bob | San Diego CA US |
| I have a fat head, so it is difficult to find even bucket hats that fit me. This pith helmet with its adjustable band of soft leather is a perfect combination of classiness and practicality. I can now go on being a gentle manne of leisure with my newfound pith helmet! | ||||

| Some improvement on the comfort of the headband would bring a 5 star rating. | ||||

"Big Head" refers to the size, not the attitude. (5/5) | Aug 19, 2009 | Dave Thomas | Bryan Te US |
| I mow lawns in Texas. The temperatures are hot and the humidity is high. Up to now I have worn a standard straw hat with a "dew rag" under it to absorb the sweat. The result was hot sweat on my bald head. I now submerse the pith helmet for about 30 seconds, wet the dew rag and am good to go. Even walking behind the mower makes enough air move under the helmet and over the rag to drop my head temperature. I wish I had found this sooner. | ||||

But this hat - NOW (4/5) | Jul 3, 2008 | david | nashville te US |

This hat is great for anyone who wants to stay cool, look cool, and be an all around nifty individual. I bought this hat to beat the heat at Bonnaroo this summer and it worked out perfectly. It stood up to the test in the 90+ degree sun of the TN countryside. The cork material is light and very sturdy, so the strap isn't really a necessity. I would soak this under the hose in the morning and head out for the day. The hat would stay cool, and talk about being easy to find in a crowd. Want to stick out in a crowd of about 30 thousand people and be easy to find when your friends go buy beer, use the restroom, and be shot down by hot hippy chicks? Wear a pith helmet. This hat is for anyone wanting to be in the sun, explore a jungle, or keep water out of your eyes in the shower. Sure, the chin strap is just for decoration and the headband needed some fiddling and adjustment, but I am more than satisfied with my purchase. Oh yeah - my head is big and this fits perfectly. WARNING - this hat makes a terrible frisbee Thanks Hats.com! I have become a valuable member of society thanks to your wonderful product. I recommend this hat to all my friends and sworn enemies. |

Absolutely spiffing! (5/5) | Aug 6, 2009 | Dr S Henderson | Buckie Mo UK |

No hesitation in giving 100% recommendation: competent workmanship, great price, with superb delivery to the UK. These Indian Pith Helmets are very light ("light as a feather") and comfortable to wear. They give better protection than a baseball cap in hot sun, because the brim of the pith helmet protects your face *and ears* from getting sunburnt. A pity that the Indian Pith Helmets (Big Head Version) are only available on the USA website (and not on the company's UK website) - but these are must-have summer/tropical wear. Village Hat Shop Indian Pith Helmets surely represent outstanding value for any gentleman considering buying one online. Well done, Village Hat Shop. You have my wholehearted recommendation. |

Indian Pith Helmet- Big Head (1/5) | Jul 12, 2010 | Dr. Marshall Burnett | Yazoo CIty MS US |
| As I wrote in returning the hat, I loved the hat itself very much. But the inside headband is totally flimsy and came apart completely when I first tried the helmet on. If you improve that unacceptable headband, I would buy it again gladly. Would someone there please reply to me. Thanks. | ||||

Not big enough (1/5) | Apr 17, 2010 | Eugene Houser | Camden SC US |
| Taking a standard size hat shell and giving it a velcro band does not create a "big head" version. Customers should be warned that this hat will not fit a head larger than 7-1/2 (if that). It didn't even come close to fitting my 7-3/4 head. | ||||
