Made in Vietnam

 

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 handmade in Vietnam using the techniques inherited by the former French occupiers.

 

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.

An Outstanding Hat!

I have been wearing these Vietnamese pith helmets for over fifteen years. The ones sold by Village Hat Shop do nothing but last. They are comfortable, well built and provide top notch Sun and rain protection. I have literally worn them in every month, and I live in SE PA. Having spent a lifetime working outside, I just wished I had started wearing them sooner. The Vietnamese have been manufacturing and wearing these fine hats for a couple of centuries, so I will end this review with my all-time favorite expression; “Success needs no explanation”.
