Product details

Royal Marines Pith Helmet:

This helmet was the official designation for the universal sun helmet worn by the British Army from 1899 to 1948 and described in the 1900 Dress Regulations as "the Wolseley pattern cork helmet". With its swept-back brim it provided greater protection from the sun than the old Foreign Service helmet. The dome is also taller and more conical than the other more rounded variations. Its use was soon widespread among British personnel serving overseas.
