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. 

 

Made in Vietnam

 

This pith helmet is designed to be an historically accurate replica of that worn by the 24th RoF in the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. It is a real pith helmet, handmade one hat at a time. Thanks to the reenactor groups who have helped with this design. These "Living History Units" have added that the Pith Helmet is also known as the U.S. M1881 Summer Helmet.


Please Note: Pith helmets can be immersed in water, whereby the wearer stays cool during use on hot summer days. Please submerge the outside of the helmet carefully, without allowing water to spill into the interior of the helmet.

Best Present He Ever Got.

I was lucky to find the Village Hat site with what I was sure was what my 14-year-old grandson wanted. A British Zulu War Pith Helmet. It is well made and is perfect for him. He told me it is the best present he has ever received.

Great pith helmet

Just received my Zulu War pith helmet. It was just as advertised. Nicely made, Village hat shop was easy to work with and I will do business them again I'm sure.
