Mil-tec British Foreign Services Style Khaki Tropical Pith Helmet

It’s a nice costume piece, especially for the price, but the details are definitely lacking. I’m using it as a costume accessory so I’m rating it accordingly.The puggaree wrapping started to come off almost immediately. It’s made of separate scrap strips of canvas, not one long piece, and held in by a few stitches and some glue. I planned to remove them anyway so it didn’t bother me but I would recommend adding more glue if you want them to retain their shape.The leather liner is decent, with a Velcro closure to adjust fit. The chinstrap isn’t really usable except as decoration across the brim. The leather strap is too thin, unfinished on one side, and features a (sharp edged) stamped metal buckle. It is adjustable enough you can get it over your chin but it’s not practical or comfortable to do so.On the plus side, the canvas is good quality and applied well. The overall shape is accurate and symmetrical. I can’t tell if it is pith, cork, or something else but it is a good balance between sturdy and lightweight.All told, it’s nowhere near the quality of a vintage pith helmet but it’s really hard to beat for the price.

Well constructed Solar helmet/sun helmet/Pith helmet. Made of cork or some such substance as pith I guess. (These were worn by many Western Armies of Europe and N. America in the Victorian era. The U.S. Army wore a similar one (with a base material of cork) to this model in the 1880's South West.). This quality product is made in Vietnam. A headband type of liner is adjustable to fit different size craniums. It looks just like the English Army tropical hat of the 1890's. Tan outer material and pool-table green inner liner material. I'm size 7 3/4 and it just barely fits if I unhook the inner head band in the back where the velcro meets. I don't plan on wearing it too much, other than outside yard work (I live in Southern Arizona. It can get to 124 degrees F. here.) But for History buffs this is the hat to get while at a low price and available.

I needed a pith helmet for a costume, and this fit the bill just fine. It looks great- very authentic and yet inexpensive. The inside adjustable band is a bit tricky and isn't completely comfortable, but I wasn't planning to wear it for any great length of time. It was perfect for what I needed.

Awesome delivery time , 7 days from Wales UK. I live in Canada and wasn't expecting them for at least two weeks . Beautiful helmets , well made , well packaged , the only thing I can say against them is they are a little tight , but then again I have a fat head :) If you are into Steampunk or historical roll playing costumes this is the real deal .

This is a nice quality pith helmet! I was really surprised with how well it was made! Cloth covering, faux leather strap, and nice adjustable head strap to allow it to fit any head size! My only complaint was the helmet had a strong order when it arrived (don't know if that was due to the glue used or what.) But all you need to do is use some Febreze and let it air out for a while. A must have for any cosplay outfit, or jungle explorer!

Ever since unboxing this magnificent helmet and wresting it for the first time. My overall confidence has sky rocketed. I fought a bear bear handed. I tackled a stampeding rhino just to rub is belly and remind it who's a good boy. And I even made a honey badger give a F@$k. Truly this is a marvelous item and I would highly recommend it to those seeking class or a means to heighten their own level of magnificence. Now if you'll excuse me the coyote gnawing on my leg is beginning to tickle and I must commence with a swift lesson. TALLEY HO!

Ordered it for a costume, my head is pretty big so it doesn’t really fit me, but my sister tried it on, and it fit perfectly. The product is clearly cheaply made with high tolerances with the product, due to the liner being off center. Too expensive for the quality. If you don’t mind that, it’s a sturdy hat that works

This is good for Cosplay... I do like it and it works great for my Steampunk cosplay. I had to adjust the color a bit as it was too yellowish. But it is nice and serves the purpose!
