When the sun never sets on your empire, you'll need some proper shade. Here's the answer!

Our faithful reproduction pith helmet is in the style synonymous with British colonial and foreign service history.

Produced in Vietnam by artisans who understand the need for a good pith helmet, the body of the helmet is made from tree heart (pith) following the style of 100 years ago, and can sustain heavy sunlight as well as rainfall.

Features a khaki canvas exterior, vented roof, interior dark green shade cloth, and adjustable faux -leather sweatband. One size fits most -- the sweatband accommodates up to approximately size 7 3/8 -- but the helmet can comfortably be worn "high" on larger heads.
