Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom

[tuco1963]

I have a few pith helmets all from here
http://www.villagehatshop.com/category/84/1/pith-helmets.html
if your hat size is 7 3/8 or smaller you should be fine. I am a 7 1/2 (or a 7 3/8 LO) and the regular size is to small.
If you are interested there is a big "pith helmet thread of doom"that was moved over to the great outdoors section.
Hope that helps some.

hasnt anyone just wanted to wear a certain kind of hat just to be wearing it.
call it a silly hat if you will just something to put on that takes you to another place or meets you there after x amount of alchohol or what have you.

There are many times I'll sit in the back yard in...

...my fedora, smoking a cigar and enjoying a scotch, imagining I'm with Rick in Casablanca. Or better yet, with Ingrid Bergman.

...my M1904 campaign hat, smoking a cigar and enjoying a scotch, imagining I'm with Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders, resting from the assault on San Juan hill.

...my newly acquired pith helmet, smoking a cigar and enjoying a scotch, imaging I'm on the sub-continent resting from a tiger hunt.

(I hand folded pug, I'm not a professional but I'm pleased with it)

I've almost bought one several times because they look cool. However, I can't imagine where I'd wear it and that has always stopped me from pulling the trigger.

Is it too late to join the Thread of Doom? Here is my new acquisition from goodwill. Surplus militay sun helmet. I folded the pug myself. It's not professional but it'll do for me. What do you think?

 

[Mr. Godfrey]

Good work with the pug and a nice looking pith.

Good work with the pug and a nice looking pith.

Thanks. I picked up 2 helmets for about $10 at Goodwill. They were almost brand new (except for the 20-odd years they've spent in storage.) My wife and I are having a hat party this weekend and we're wearing matching hats, although her's is a little more girly.

 

[Oldsarge]

Well folded, that man! Now you need the safari jacket, the double rifle, the . . .

 

[VetPsychWars]

I had two, gave one to my dad because he was always whacking himself on the head with low branches while cutting the grass.

I admit I don't wear mine hardly ever. It's the hard-shell military surplus model, all helmet and no pith.

Where did this one come from? Thanks.

Goodwill.

Where in the Great State are you? I'm in Richardson, outside Dallas.

Thank you, First Sgt. Do they sell double rifle's at Goodwill?

 

[Oldsarge]

No, but if you frequent gun shows you occasionally can pick up a Kodiak double (with exterior hammers!) for a lot less than H&H wants for a new one.

Great stuff, like to see the pictures as a little girly can be very Adèle Blanc-Sec

 

[Nobert]

That amuses me a bit, as I have a hard time imagining Tardi's heroine taking kindly to the notion of being "girly."

 

[Renault]

Sorry. Mebbe posted here in the past but deserves another "Honorable Mention"! Duncan Renaldo's ridiculously immense pith from the classis safari flick "Trader Horn"

your pith rocks
how hard was it to make the pug?

 

[Renault]

My Woolsley pattern on a past hunting expedition.

 

[ckramer]

That's a brilliant hunting get-up, Renault.

 

[Renault]

Gracias, amigo!

Another angle later in the day. Posted this one before. But I always enjoy the hunt for the rare "Pygmy" rhino!

 

[Matt Crunk]

Seeing Renault's vintage hunting attire brings a question to my mind: Are there any such thing as vintage hunting clubs where participants go out into the bush with all period hunting /camping gear and recreate the experience of a golden era hunt? If there's not, there should be. I'm not a hunter, but I'd go on one of those.
