The Pithy Chapeau...

You know you’ve always wanted a pith helmet but never knew where to find one. Luckily, because you’re a dedicated Surpie, you kept reading this catalog, waiting for one to come along. This classic French-style, cloth-covered khaki pith helmet with interior headband liner is the kind explorers, anthropologists and safarists wore for decades as they slinked through forests, jungles and plains—and still do. Gracefully sloping brim measures 14” front-to-back, and 11-1/2” to the sides. The dome has little vent holes to keep you cool, and an uber-classic adjustable brown leather chin strap rests elegantly across the front of the brim when you’re not using it. Great for costumes, but this is the real deal.
