Great, New/Old Pith Helmet-

[dhermann1]

I don't know, but it will have to be pithy . . . . . (groan)

OK, How about . . . the Pithfinders?
Better Pithed off than Pithed on . . .
We will pith this way but once. . .
The Pith of Least Resistance . . . .

Let me work on it.

I will need to break out some pith for a photo opportunity. this one is in good shape.

That's a nice one Douglas.
Right up my street.
I had one of the early, felt covered jobs, once upon a time.

Wow. VERY nice. I feel like an amateur.
Question, when the heck do you ever wear it???

This is by far one of the best piths I've seen.....I love the leather on it!

That's beautiful!

I found something similar to this at the Salvation Army a few weeks ago (along with an incredibly ugly pinstriped fedora). I didn't buy it because it didn't have any labels inside. Pet peeve. *shrug*

BT...LOVE it...!!

Your 'Cawnpore' helmet (India pattern - isn't it?) is wonderful!! I'm keeping an eye out for something similar, though pigs may fly before I find one. What a beauty and so pristine.

Thanks, Paddy- better late than never.

I cannot let this one lie/die...

Just been drooling over BT's pith helmet 'again..' sad...I know[huh]

Every so often I see them on Ebay, but...always dwarf sizes!! BT...that baby is the biz!! it really is the Cat's Pyjamas (to re-coin your phrase recently). I'm biding my time, but for now it's the Aussie rabbit felt hat that will have to do.

PS: Update please on your BushWear Project....?
