For future reference, or perhaps there is a photo on the net somewhere, I can give some advice on what NOT to wear in the pith helmet line, and that is the model worn by the young romantic lead in the 1930 version of the film "Trader Horn," which ran on the Turner Classic Movie Channel earlier this week. The man had the most laughable looking pithy object on his head I've ever seen on a human being, from certain angles anyway. He looked like a three year old who had put on Daddy's hat. I missed the film's opening, or rather my DVR did, so it may well have been intended to make him look like a greenhorn but, intentionally funny or not, it was dead pathetic to see him in it. And of course, hilarious.
