According to the description for the white 'big head' version it is for 59-62cm heads.

The small version is 55-58cm heads.

The reviewer leaving 5* feedback suggests a good sized male head needs the larger size.

So does the reviewer for the big head khaki version.

Bank transfer is preferred or I will get stung with 3.4%+20p from Paypal!

I've got the American version (very, very similar) that was issued to the Marines. If these have the same suspension system, the size is adjustable. And they're extremely good in hot weather as said suspension keeps the hat off your head allowing airflow.

 

[Midnitehound]

I don't know if the suspension system is the same but it is certainly adjustable, it has a band with a velcro adjustment. The reviews are very good. I gather that when wet, evaporation from the pith cools the head and the hat retains its shape.

 

[santaman2000]

Mine's not velcro. But Yeah, that's exactly the same adjustment points and the same basic suspension design. Haven't read the reviews but I've certainly been happy with mine (the only real difference between it and these is minor cosmetics) Daddy wore one as long as I can remember.

Lets give this a bump.

just looking at the sizing chart it says 2xl is 62cm are the white cream or karki regard dave

 

[Midnitehound]

Hi Dave,

Ignore the sizing chart, there are only large and small sizes. The bulk order is really only for large which is specified for 59-61cm. I believe the band will actually reduce for heads below 59cm but it doesn't specify because the small size exists! If someone really wants a small one then I can ask if they will add it to the order at the same price but I would advise the large in most cases. These will all come in khaki colouring, white would be a nightmare!


Can we sign you up?

C'mon chaps and chapesses a pith helmet is a pretty snazzy accessory. I'd like a monocle with mine too and a handlebar mustache. What, what?!!

Nah. You need that Enfield being discussed on another thread to go with it.
