Safari / Pith Helmets

A safari hat takes many forms but the most well-known is the Pith Helmet. Safari Pith Helmets were made famous in the 1800's by British troops who wore them in arid and tropical locations around the world. We also focus on a safari hat crown shape and make it in a variety of materials. This is a very popular hybrid style hat for us and will serve you well on any adventure. Choose the right hat material in this great style for your next journey.

I have the hat from a previous purchase. I like it. I ordered the same size I already had and it was much larger than my original hat so I sent it back. I wear 7 5/8”. Your sizing is now wrong

My new favorite!!

I am so excited with this hat. Definitely my new favorite for the summers. Fits exactly to size. Comfortable and stylish. Just wished I had this hat back in the 80’s and 90’s golfing in Texas.

Super high quality, superior packaging, the included inserts fine tuned the fit perfectly. Along with the super quick shipping, I can't say enough good things about how cool the hat is! It would be a mistake to order from anyone except Conner!

A great hat. I usually wear a bucket hat in the summer. Great winter hat(warm) that still has a smaller leather brim.
