What period does this reproduction pith helmet represent?
This reproduction is of the Wolseley pattern pith helmet used from 1900 to 1943. It features the long neck flap characteristic of this type. The helmet is externally identical to a 1938 Pattern Other Ranks helmet. For earlier impressions, a wider pugaree may be needed.
What material is the helmet body made from?
The helmet body is constructed with thick styrofoam. This material makes the helmet very light and strong. It is a modern alternative to real pith.
What are the features of the helmet's interior and lining?
The helmet features a full leather sweatband and is fully lined with satin. The liner includes an adjustable red satin crown. Some helmets have the leather sweatband made of two pieces stitched together.
Is the liner correctly installed in the helmet?
The liner is often installed backwards, with the stitching in the front. This can be easily adjusted by removing the split pins and turning the liner around so the seam is at the back. The liner fits well once adjusted.
