I don't quite "get" the pith thing.
It looks a bit like a costume to me.
A pith helmet is quite practical in a tropical clime; not only did Scottish regiments wear them in India, South Africa, etc., but the famous "Bombay Bowler" was worn by Europeans "East of Suez" as part of everyday wear.
Far less "costumey" than some of the odd things you see at games INMHO.

Agreed, but I have this thing about wool in the type of heat that I would wear a pith helmet.
Not really costumey at all to do this.
