I wear many hats. I have solar powered fan hats, Umbrella hats, mesh hats, etc, but none is as cool as this hat. No wonder they used these Pith hats/Helmet (Safari hats) in the jungle. I found 2 of these hats, in thrift shops... a few bucks. Surprisingly, I get lots of very nice comments on it.
Ideal for those 100 degree days with high humidity...the air goes thru the hat as if not wearing a hat at all. Google "Pith Helmet"..... $6 to $40.
With Mosquito netting
With rain cover (Kitchen bowl cover).
Very cool. I recently bought a cowboy hat for a day spent splitting logs at the Tree Farm, but it didn't "suit" me at all. THIS looks very English, somehow. (Colonial days spent hunting in Africa, maybe?). Anyways - I want one. Thanks for the heads-up Bert, you wonderful chicken. :)

ReplyDeletemouse - It of course provides shade, but mostly the air flows thru the hat very easily.
Not sure that I'm very keen on the raincover version ...
ReplyDeleteIran - It's more to protect the hat than the wearer. But it works.
ReplyDeleteBert it would have been even cooler if you had posed for us wearing it.

ReplyDelete7jewel - It would have detracted from the hat and made a cool hat look bad.
