Mil-Tec Pith Helmet

Nice product good quality

SIZESo as the seller refuses to list the sizes available, I've measured mine. The included headband is adjustable by about 1.5"/3.5cm and goes from about 54 to 58cm or 21 to 23 inches. Typical 'adult' head size and will fit 'most' people.With some modification (by sewing in some more Velcro) it could probably be made to fit slightly smaller than 50cm, and by removing the headband you can increase the maximum size as well. My head is in the region of 66cm/26" (Yes, I'm an alien hybrid mutant) and even after removing the headband and the straps for the headband is quite tight on my head and wobbles whenever I move, probably the biggest you can sensibly wear this at would be 62cm/24"REVIEWThe outer shell is rather nice, slightly pliable more than flexible, and will be able to take a little bit more abuse than the hard plastic hats/helmets you often see in this price range.The fabric coating is very suitable, really looks the part, although I did find a few loose ends of thread that I trimmed away. Probably me being a perfectionist, more than a genuine issue there.The bands around the outside are the same material and the folds are aesthetically pleasing. They are held in place with thread so should stay put, with only minimal movement that would only annoy an OCD perfectionist like me.The inner headband is very nice quality faux leather and fells very comfortable(I'm reliably informed by my sister who has a much smaller head than I do) this helmet could easily be worn for an entire day without becoming painful. That is, so long as your head isn't the size of a small moon like mine.The chin strap is purely ornamental, unfortunately, and although it can be loosened and pulled down, will probably not fit underneath anyone's chin. If you were to try, it would probably break as it's much thinner than the inner headband.ConclusionAll in all a very good costume piece for a host of adventurer style cosplays. Very good quality for the price, I would recommend this to anyone except the most dedicated purist.I'll finish this review by pointing out that the mannequin head in the picture is wearing his helmet backwards, a laughable if small error that makes him look a little silly.

A good quality solid hat, adjustable strap in the hat to fit different head sizes, perfect for a fairy hunter…

Got as kind of a joke, feels pretty well made and looks as advertised.

Decent quality hat, solid construction, good material and a fastening mechanism - though I found it to be unwearable even for very short periods.Reason being the back of the hat is pointed, and at the angle I’d expect this to sit it kept bashing into the top of my back/bottom of my neck.The only way round this was to wear the hat so far forward I couldn’t see past the pointed bit at the front.Had to return for this reason - might not be an issue for others, but not for me.

Should read: 'in the style of, a British Foreign Service Tropical ...' - the product is made in Vietnam and, is actually very good indeed. If only the manufacturer replaced the cheap plastic bits, with leather, it would be excellent.I bought this out of curiosity (and a surfeit of red wine) but I'm really most impressed. The helmet is both light and airy to wear. I've taken to wearing it whilst mowing the village green! I spray it beforehand, with midge-repellant, and it does its job perfectly. To be honest, it's the most comfortable hat I've ever worn. I just wish I had the nerve to wear it everywere! :o)

I bought this a bit last minute and did not realise that this would be shipped from Ireland and so would take a bit longer than I thought to arrive- my own fault. However I contacted the seller and they told me which day it would arrive which gave me the chance to order something else that would arrive in time. It has now arrived within the time frame that the seller told me it would and it is a very good quality hat with a very nice leather head band. I have got a small head so the back of this hat does rest against my back a bit and the point and the front does get a little in the way of seeing things. But i still think that this is a super hat for the occasional fancy dress party.

I bought this item for my steampunk look. I wasn't expecting to much from this as it was cheap. To my surprise it is was made to very high standard and unless you look at the inside lable you wouldn't know it a reproduction. I'm really impressed with with it
