White English-style Colonial Helmet

White English-style Colonial Helmet 

This Victorian-style colonial helmet is a faithful reproduction of the helmet worn by English colonists. It is characterized by its pointed shape, the sun protection it provides, and its resistance to weather conditions. The British colonial helmet is made from trees that grow in northern Vietnam. The manufacturing process of this helmet was initially passed on to French colonists by the Vietnamese a hundred years ago, during the country's occupation.

"Dr. Livingston, I presume?" This khaki colonial helmet model (also known as "British colonial helmet") is widely associated with the history of British foreign affairs and colonies. This men's headwear is made from trees grown in northern Vietnam. The material of this helmet is particularly resistant to sun and weather; this type of hat may soften slightly with moisture but will return to its initial shape when drying. The Vietnamese learned the manufacturing process of colonial helmets about a hundred years ago, during French colonization.

A ventilation chimney provides coolness to the head.

This tropical helmet is adjustable at the head circumference and fastens with a chin strap.

A headwear used by the British army during their conquests in South Africa. Made famous during the 1879 battle fought by the "24th foot regiment" against the "Zulu" tribes at Mount Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift

Warning: this hat may soften slightly with moisture but will regain its shape when drying. This is why it needs to be reshaped while drying.
