WWI–WWII British Wolseley Pattern Pith Helmet – Khaki Sun Helmet

Description The British Wolseley Pattern Pith Helmet was the standard tropical headgear of the British and Commonwealth forces from the early 20th century through World War II. Made from cork or pith covered with khaki cotton twill, it features the distinctive swept-back brim that provides superior sun protection for the neck and face. Ventilation eyelets on each side allow airflow in hot climates, while the adjustable leather chinstrap secures the helmet in the field. This reproduction faithfully replicates the wartime design used by British, Indian, and colonial troops in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
