"Dr
Livingston, I presume?". This pith helmet style (also
known as UK Pith Helmet) is associated with British colonial and
foreign service history. It is made from trees grown in the northern
part of Vietnam. The material can sustain heavy sunlight as well as
rain. When wet the hat may become a bit softer, but then dries to its
original state. The Vietnamese learned the art of pith helmet
manufacturing a hundred years ago from the French during their
occupation. Color: Khaki, as pictured. Size: Adjustable
Velcro-style ends on a cotton covered sweatband.
