Wolseley Pith Helmet-OLD
This pith helmet style is reminiscent of a classic fireman’s helmet. The helmet was named after M/Gen. Sir Garnet Wolseley, who developed the original pattern. We have seen many variations on the name…Wolsey, Wolesley, etc., but the correct spelling is Wolseley. Through the years there have been many minor variations to this style. Our model has a tail approximately 3 3/4 inches. Sweatband and chin strap are genuine leather. There is a green underbrim. Color: White(as per the original) and khaki. Size: Adjustable by means of Velcro at the end of the sweatband. Sorry, but this helmet runs a little on the small side and will only fit up to about a 7 1/4.

African Safari Pith Helmet
The African Safari Pith Helmet that you see here is the newest pith helmet in our line. Like most of the others (Indian, French, British, Square-crowned, Camo) it is a real pith helmet. By “real” we mean that the hat is made from the core (pith) of trees that grow in northern Vietnam. They are made one piece at a time–see the images at our Pith Helmets main page. This helmet has the same properties as the others, that being light weight (the 4-ply wood interior is low-density-somewhat like balsa wood), immersible in water whereby the wearer stays cool as he/she hikes and the water evaporates, genuine leather sweatband and chin strap. The underbrim is green. Color: Khaki (as you see in the image). Sizes: Adjustable.
Limited quantities available.
