Product details

Indian pith helmet
Originally, this Indian pith helmet was designed to shade and insulate the wearer’s head from the sun.
The hat features a slightly narrower brim and a squarer dome. It shares with other helmets the ventilation "button" atop the dome.

These pith helmets are ideal items for wearing at both sun and rain conditions. They are perfect for used in gardening, camping, or on a safari.

  • We use plain standard carton for packaging.

  • Each pith helmet is put in a poly bag and then as many as 18-22 pcs are put in a master 5 ply carton.
