Let customers speak for us

As a “bald guy” I’ve purchased many wide brimmed hats and this is one of the best summer hats I own. Light weight and breathable is the name of the game for summer hats and this one has it in spades! Looks great too! You won’t be disappointed!

Cool Air Hiker Hat

Hat is high quality and functionally awesome for keeping the sun off you. Head stays cool with the vents at the top of the hat and it is very comfortable.

I had some stitching come out from the inside of the headband and their customer service was fast, responsive and got me a replacement.

Sun Shield Recycled Boater Hat

I originally purchased the Jackeroo model in a large size. The hat was much too large for me so, I exchanged it for a medium size Tambourine model. I opted for a pickup of the exchange. It was wirth the $8.90 fee. The hat was picked up late Thursday evening afternoon and I received the new hat on the Monday morning. I truly love the Tambourine! The quality is superb! This level of customer service is rare and much appreciated! Conner Hat Company, is a first rate company of which puts customer service first. I will be back soon. Thank you Conner People!

Tambourine Outback Wool Hat

Really good quality that fits my style it’s not thin & cheap like most cotton hats are this is one of my favorite hats from the Connor brand own 3 the bucket hat & the open spaces wool dark brown tested it in the rain it didn’t get soggy kept its form the more you wear it the more you will get different patterns large was perfect it was a smidge big but the insert fixed that fits perfectly live the scorching Arizona desert a nice breeze through the sides if your looking for a good had that can take a beating I would recommend the bounty hunter

Bounty Hunter Water Resistant Cotton Hat

I've had mine for a couple of years now. It's a daily wear. I've hit my head on stuff that rattled my teeth but the hat had kept me from cuts or knots on my head. I love this hat. No more ball caps for me. I can wipe it off and wear it to church. It cleans up nice. I sat on it one day and thought I'd ruined it. Absolutely not! It's like it never happened. I could go on and on but it'd be redundant to everything everyone else has said. They are superior. I bought a second one before I moved back to Texas from Georgia where I got it thinking I wanted to make sure and had one when this one went bad. But I don't know how long that will take. I highly recommend this hat. It's the Down Under Leather hat.

Down Under Leather Hat

Excellent Fit with Great Style. Very comfortable wearing for a extended time, but my only concern is. If the hat gets wet from a light Rain, will it ruin the Hemp? Is there any thing I can do, to protect the Hat from light rain ?

Black Creek Safari Hemp Hat

Quality hat!

This hat is exactly what I was looking for Firm, great quality, and came quickly. Excited to see how many years I can get out of this hat.

Maverick Leather Hat for Stylish Looks - Conner Hats

Amazing product. So well made and great care for adding inserts to make the fit just perfect.

Aussie Golf Soakable Mesh Hat

Absolutely the best quality ! However it was my own fault with size as I am 73/4 62 - and it was big ! I sent it back with a note to return an XL ! I’ve had my Carson City bowler and it’s an XXL and fits perfectly so … ?? I love your products regardless. Love to all

The Original Pith Helmet

The Original Pith Helmet

hard safari pith helmet

$ 63.95

The Pith Helmet was made popular by military personnel in tropical areas, handmade with twill covering and adjustable.

  • Description
  • Additional information
  • Reviews (0)

The Original Pith Helmet is the original design by the French. A hundred years ago, the French discovered the advantages of the pith material used for these hats. Originally made from pith bark. Over the years, construction and materials were improved which make it both a good sun and rain shield. The Original Pith helmets have air vents on both sides and at the top of the helmet. This allows air to circulate to keep you cool. Widely used by missionaries, archaeologists, adventurers, and those who live in the tropics.

The Original Pith Helmet features:

  • Handmade from pith or cork and covered in twill
  • Air vents – side and top
  • Adjustable by way of a Velcro-like ending to the interior cotton sweatband
  • Composite Leather Decorative Strap
  • 4 1/2″ Crown
  • 2 3/4″ Front and Back Brim
  • 2 1/2″ Side Brims
  • Medium – Adjustable – Fits up to size 7 1/8 comfortably
  • Large – Adjustable – Fits up to size 7 5/8 comfortably
  • Color: Khaki

The Pith Helmet is a hard-shell, high-crowned hat with a wide, sloping brim. Originally made of ‘pith’ (soft heartwood) of the Sola plant. Also known as ‘Sola Topees’ or Sola hats. Originally made with a white cotton covering. Later stained an earthy sand color – khaki. This was a form of camouflage in the sandy regions of Africa, India and the Middle East. Soon it became standard on most pith helmets. Currently, there are typically two colors: white and khaki. Ceremonial roles used white, while more practical roles used khaki. Pith helmets came about around the mid-1800s. Helmet design was taken from the German Pickelhaube helmet. Designed for use in hot, dry and humid climates. It has a number of features which make it ideal for these kinds of conditions. Through the centuries, changes to the construction and the materials used has molded they current style.

Safari Hats

The a-z of safari hats… and the best safari hat to buy.

Everything you need to know about safari hats – from their origins to what makes a great safari hat, and a list of the very best safari hats to buy in 2020.

Read on for the full lowdown on safari hats (or check out our articles on safari jackets , or more general safari clothing tips for planning your safari wardrobe):

What is a safari hat?

What became the first safari hats were introduced in Asia and the Indian subcontinent through the 1800s as a pith helmet , also known as a safari helmet, sun helmet, topee, sola topee or topi.

These lightweight hats were made out of pith (a soft tissue found inside tree trunks) of the Indian sola tree and covered with a white cloth. They were first used by the European military, though they quickly realized that white hats made them an easy target, so started dyeing the white cloth with tea, to give them a distinctive khaki colour.

[amazon box=”B005MYB35K,B005MYB3UK,B07KGC6B4K” grid=”3″]

In the early 1900s, many Europeans in Asia started to were these pith helmets – and variations on them – as sun hats to protect their heads from the tropical sun. (They were even worn indoors by some who believed sunlight could penetrate their roof!) Understanding of the sun’s powers has evolved since then, as has fashion, and safari hats have developed to be an essential piece of kit when spending time outdoors in sunny terrain, whether on a trip taking in the desert, jungle, savanna, or, of course, safari.

And these days safari hats are being worn not just for protection from the sun, but as a fashion statement too, acceptable as an accessory of choice when going outdoors in any situation given.

What makes a great safari hat?

Whilst there’s a time and a place for the traditional pith helmet (fancy dress party, perhaps?), there is much choice for great safari hats around today – the question is, ‘what should I look for in a safari hat?’ We believe there are several things that you need to consider when buying a good safari hat:

The primary reason for wearing a hat on a daily basis – not just on safari – is to provide protection from the sun while you’re out and about. So just how much sun-protection will the hat provide? You might want to consider buying a safari hat with a wide brim so it can cover both your face and your neck and protect you from sunburn.

A waterproof safari hat is a good idea for a couple of reasons. The obvious one is that if it rains whilst you’re on safari and you don’t have shelter your hat can protect you from the rain. The other reason is that non-waterproof safari hats tend to be made out of cotton, which can start to smell a bit after a long day of usage. Buying a waterproof safari hat will make sure you’re protected from sun damage as well as from developing a bad odor.

They say that style and comfort must meet halfway, but if you must choose one over the other you should go for comfort. Why? Simply because you look the best when you feel most comfortable! And when on safari you can sometimes find yourself wearing a hat for the best part of a whole day, so it makes sense to ensure that any safari hat you buy is as comfortable as possible.

Most safari hats are made out of leather, rubber, cotton or man-made fabric. Which one you go for will depend on your personal preference, but make sure you choose a well-made safari hat that will last.  My personal choice is leather because in most cases leather hats will last a lifetime (and grow character) with proper care.

Style is subjective, but it all comes down to how you picture yourself wearing something. Make sure that when you buy a safari hat you really see yourself wearing it and looking at your best.

Write your own review, excellent sun/bump hat.

Posted by [email protected] on 9th May 2017

Been using the product for 4 years and it's saved my head from nasty bumps if I were wearing a soft sun hat.

Works great!

Posted by Julia Mason on 3rd Oct 2016

I wear this hat to keep my ears from getting skin cancer, because I am a school crossing guard. I will buy it again if I need another one.

Safari Hats

Posted by B. Inman on 20th Dec 2012

We love the hats! Right now we are keying up for construction, clearing brush, pruning trees. One of the hats has a big gash in it from a limb falling so had we not had the hats on, that would have been our scalp.

Where to watch movies for free in Moscow this summer

People watching a movie in a Pioner 24-hour open-air cinema in Gorky Park.

People watching a movie in a Pioner 24-hour open-air cinema in Gorky Park.

Temporary cinemas will be popping up across Moscow very soon, starting from July 16. All of the spots are brilliant examples of either constructivist or avant-garde architecture, so expect striking settings. A selection of classic Soviet films will be aired using cinematic equipment from the last century. All the screenings are free although online registration is required beforehand, while there will also be guided tours of the spaces, organized by the “Moscow through the Engineer's Eyes” company.

Registration will be open soon at mos-kino.ru

Bread factory

Bread factory 9  / Bezik (CC BY-SA)

Following the success of former factories transformed into art spaces (VinZavod, Arma, Trekhgornaya manufacture), Khlebzavod (“bread factory”) No 9 is one newly opened joint that is attracting creative types from all over the city. The movie Time! Forward! will be screened in the building’s boiler room on July 16. It follows workers from the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, one of the largest steel companies in Russia, and is based on a novel by Soviet writer Valentin Kataev.

What’s more, Khlebzavod is a monument to constructivist architecture. Where better to watch such a film?

Novodmitrovskaya St. 1

Roof of the Narkomfin Building

Narkomfin Building / Kirill Zykov/Moskva Agency

The Narkomfin Building was originally designed to house high ranking employees at the Commissariat of Finance. It was built by architects Moisei Ginsburg and Ignaty Milinis. Also a fine example of constructivism, it’s currently in a state of disrepair, locked down, and fairly difficult to get into - which is like a red flag to a bull for more adventurous types.

However, on July 30 the place will be opened up and people will be welcomed onto the roof to watch the film Faith and Truth.

Novinsky Blvrd . 25b1

Khrushchyovka courtyard

Cheremushki district / Alexander Scherbak/TASS

A courtyard located in the 9th experimental block of the Novye Cheremushki district will turn into an outdoor cinema this summer. Cheremushki is the first district where Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchyov decided to build the iconic Khrushchyovka apartment blocks in the 1950s. As a result, thousands of Russians were given their own pads after decades living huddled together in communal apartments known as kommunalka .

Cheremushki is the adapted film-version of Dmitry Shostakovich’s operetta and will be shown here on Aug. 6. The organizers of the multiple screenings - the Moskino cinema chain - say they will revive the Soviet tradition of neighbors meeting in courtyards for a good old tongue wag. There will also be a guided tour of the block.

Address to be confirmed at mos-kino.ru

Pioneers Palace

Pioneers Palace / Legion Media

If you want a slice of the postwar Soviet avant-garde style, head to the Pioneers Palace at Vorobyevy Gory. Pioneers Palaces were youth centers for sport, creativity, and hobbies for Young Pioneers (a communist organization for children) during the Soviet Union. There were dance classes, martial arts, drawing, and many other activities.

To Love a Man , a movie about two young architects building a new town in Siberia, will be shown here on Aug. 22. There will also be a lecture about building experiments in the 20th century.

Kosygina St. 17b2

A secret place

A secret place / Press photo

The last cinema venue remains a secret. On Aug. 27 there will be a screening, but at the moment no one knows where. Information will appear on mos-kino.ru but those who attend all four screenings above will be able to guess the last location.

A talk about architecture and Soviet history also will be hosted here.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery and Museum

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

hard safari pith helmet

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

hard safari pith helmet

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

hard safari pith helmet

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

hard safari pith helmet

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

hard safari pith helmet

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

hard safari pith helmet

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

hard safari pith helmet

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
