Trivia: Which hat is associated with European colonial explorers and hunters?
Panama hat
Pith helmet
Porkpie
Bowler
The correct answer is Pith helmet
So why is this answer correct? : Pith helmets were first adopted by the Spanish military, who were inspired by traditional wide-brimmed, triangular Filipino salakot hats. Pith helmets are traditionally made from sholapith, a dried spongy substance created from the pith of the aeschynomene plant. In the 19th century, the pith helmet was adopted by European colonial troops in India and Indochina, and became associated with exploration and hunting.
